What advice would you give to a new or struggling teacher?
Be patient with yourself andn try to keep your eyes and ears open to learn as much as possible from your peers, but mostly from your students.
What’s the nicest thing a student or colleague has ever done to help you?
Many of my colleagues and students have helped me. The biggest help I got was from colleagues who taught all the secrets of planning. My students at Zamorano have taught me ways in which I can teach them English by addressing thier interests in order to make learning more enjoyable.
If you weren't a teacher, what would you be doing?
I would be a doctor. I still think about it and think that it is possible to do both.

ALF.
What is the most challenging part of teaching?
Working with colleagues who are set in their ways and do not want to change for the better.

Chips.
