Have you met Maria?

Language Hub, Teaching

Maria is our multi-lingual professor who specialises in French and Spanish. While at Agape School of Education, Maria has used her background in Finance and Literature helps her connect with a wide range of students, many of whom will vouch for her dedication as a teacher and passion for language. We got to know Maria a little better in order to find out what makes her the motivated teacher she is and what drives her every day.

Why did you decide to go into teaching?

Maria: There are different ways to share something with others and teaching is one of the noblest professions. Although I enjoy teaching students and learning from them in return, I believe knowledge should be shared for the improvement of all.

Maria: I think the most important thing that being a teacher has taught me is that the most important factor to learning a new language is effort. With hard work and determination, any student can succeed. The teacher can always modify pedagogy to meet the students’ needs, but the student must first be willing.

What is your favourite part of a teaching?

Maria: There are many rewarding parts to teaching but, personally, nothing beats the joy of seeing a student succeed. Knowing that I helped that student to that point of success really gives me a thrill. Not only have I shared my knowledge with my students, I have made a difference in someone else’s life.

What are some of your favourite ways to teach difficult topics to your students?

Maria: In my experience examples are the most effective way to teach a new concept like a new language. It allows students to take a theory and see it’s practical applications. When learning a new and foreign language, and all it’s intricacies, this is especially important.

What is one piece of advice you would give to a new student?

Anything is possible for the French!
