As some of you may know, I'm a translator, interpreter, proofreader, writer, blogger, language interviewer and, yes, I'm a private teacher. I have less students than I'd like to have nowadays because I've been working on so many projects that require so much time from me, but I still try to make do working as a teacher because I just LOVE it!!!
I have such a great time communicating and passing everything I know to my students, I love the feeling when they learn something and I'm always learning something new with them as well, I enjoy every little minute of the class, sometimes I can notice they feel like saying: "Teacher, please, less energy, calm down!", but when you love something that you do, you do it with so much pleasure and satisfaction that it looks natural to you... Ok, I've started noticing more closely my enthusiasm lately when they are so tired and I'm speaking so loud and singing and things like that... LOL

Unfortunately, many teachers in the world, not only in Brazil, are not so much appreciated as they should. When I worked as an intern in some schools, private or public ones, I had the chance to see this sad and discouraging picture... I hope this can change one day and teachers won't be taken for granted as they are in so many places and even different cultures.

PS - By the way, don't forget that teacher, instructor and professor have the same translation in Portuguese (professor), but in English they are more specific words... I'll make a post about it later this week... in the meanwhile, try to guess in which situation would you use each one of the 3 words.
