I've started teaching private lessons when I was 17, following with doing some substitutions at private institutes. Then, while I was at university, I had two opportunities in which I worked as student assistant, that is, collaborating with the teacher of a specific chair doing some work like commanding a class, checking on the roll, etc. After graduating, I worked at an elementary school with 1st graders and at a kindergarten, teaching 4-year-old toodlers. Currently, I'm working as an online Spanish medical interpreter for a company in Tallahassee, Florida.

Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, we teachers were kind of forced to limit our classes to digital material, both synchronic and asynchronic classes, even dynamic activities like games were modified. In my personal case, I taught 20-30 year-old seniors, intermediate level and 6-7 kids.

I approached teaching as a holistic principle, not setting the classbook aside at all but integrating the actvities proposed in it with other resources that the technological advance can provide.

What is more, in the development of my lessons, I always tried to include tools and materials that my students will enjoy. For example, when treating with adolescents, I managed to elicit their linguisitic knowledge through songs from their favourite bands/singers or through the making of presentations, debates and the like about videogames, movies, etc. With kids, I made a great use of background songs to make up the environment.

For example, to practice vocabulary, we used to go through activities like scavenger hunts, puzzles, searching while I played a suspense song (mission impossible soundtrack for instance) to encourage them. And I can continue enlisting all the things that I did to carried out my online classes as dynamic and enjoyable for students and for me as possible.

我从 17 岁开始教私人课程，之后在私立机构做过代课老师。然后，在大学期间，我有两次担任学生助理的机会，即与特定教席的老师合作完成一些工作，例如指挥课堂、检查点名等。毕业后，我在一所小学教一年级学生，在一所幼儿园教四岁的幼儿。目前，我在佛罗里达州塔拉哈西的一家公司担任在线西班牙语医学翻译。

由于 Covid-10 疫情的爆发，我们老师被迫将课程限制为数字材料，包括同步和异步课程，甚至游戏等动态活动也进行了修改。就我个人而言，我教过 20-30 岁的大四学生、中级水平的学生和 6-7 个孩子。

我以整体原则来对待教学，并没有把课本放在一边，而是将其中提出的活动与技术进步可以提供的其他资源结合起来。

此外，在课程开发中，我总是试图加入学生会喜欢的工具和材料。例如，在与青少年交流时，我设法通过他们最喜欢的乐队/歌手的歌曲，或者通过做关于电子游戏、电影等的演示、辩论等来引出他们的语言知识。和孩子们一起，我充分利用背景音乐来营造环境。

例如，为了练习词汇，我们过去常常进行寻宝、拼图、搜索等活动，同时我会播放悬疑歌曲（例如《不可能完成的任务》配乐）来鼓励他们。我可以继续列举我为使我的在线课程对我和学生来说尽可能地充满活力和愉快而做的所有事情。

I happen to have a good profile as regards teaching. I've started teaching private lessons when I was 17, following with doing some substitutions at private institutes.

Then, while I was at university, I had two opportunities in which I worked as student assistant, that is, collaborating with the teacher of a specific chair doing some work like commanding a class, checking on the roll, etc.

After graduating, I worked at an elementary school with 1st graders and at a kindergarten, teaching 4-year-old toodlers.

Currently, I'm working as an online Spanish medical interpreter for a company in Tallahassee, Florida. This is kind of what my experience in teaching has been since then.

我恰好在教学方面有很好的履历。我从 17 岁起就开始教私人课程，随后在私立机构做过一些代课老师。

然后，在大学期间，我有两次担任学生助理的机会，即与特定教席的老师合作完成一些工作，例如指挥课堂、检查点名等。

毕业后，我在一所小学教一年级学生，在一所幼儿园教四岁的幼儿。

目前，我在佛罗里达州塔拉哈西的一家公司担任在线西班牙语医学翻译。这就是我从那时起的教学经历。
