Teacher of English

Never really attempted to become a teacher, but I received a chance at Lipki (yes, this happened during hockey camp), in parallel with our sports camp there was a drama camp "Kannikuli" along with us. Part of my job was teaching the youngest groups of the camp, some of my team helped out as well, at one point I was offered a permanent place at the camp, but I refused. The tutoring continued for 2 weeks, everyday at 13:00 to 17:00, the lesson itself was split up into two parts: part one from 13:00 to 14:30, then an hours break and from 15:30 to 17:00 was the second (this was the 'silent hour' for the hockey team). Sometimes it was dialogues, other times it was cartoons in English along with worksheet. I felt the full impact of being a tutor, after all staying up late to plan a lesson is not what I usually do, I have got to admit that it was difficult, especially trying to make the kids sit down, but I got there eventually. Although it was exhausting work I am happy that I was able to provide a service for the children, after all it may impact their future, who knows. This brilliant experience has taught me to:
Undertake new challenges
Develop new skills
Consider the ethical implications of my actions
Work collaboratively with others
Plan and initiate activities
Increase their awareness of my own strengths and weaknesses
