Hello everyone!

As an English pedagogy undergraduate student, I wanted to work on something related to my study field. I dreamed all over the year to get a position at a travel agency guiding tourists throughout Valparaiso hills’. In the same way, I also wished to get a job at the Pacific Terminal dock, where cruise ships stopped by with hundreds of travellers on board. I tried year after year, but I couldn’t make it. On my final year at university, I end up translating some emails for a small import company. However, I always had the chance to teach people around me. 

 

So, I realised I have chosen pedagogy because I enjoyed seeing learners learning. I didn’t try any other career as I didn’t aim to do anything else in my life. In the same line, my experience at university was good. I learned a lot of new things and met many interesting professors and classmates. Time to time a have contact with some of my former friends and have a meeting all together!

In the future, I would love teaching some Chilean Spanish to foreigners and preparing some learning materials for people interested in the way we use the language hereabouts.
