What I like about teaching
I love the variety, new people, new groups and new challenges every year.
My advice to students of English?
Fear is an English learners worst enemy, learn to love your mistakes. Don't fear them but embrace and learn from them. Especially when speaking.
Three things I like
Netflix, Cheese (Cheddar) and Football.
My favourite English word
Diabolical - feel very British when I say it.
Kerfuffle - Very cute way to describe a disturbance casued by conflict
My favourite Czech word
pouť - Took me 5 years to get the pronuncation right so Czechs could understand me.
Nazdar! - Just a super friendly way to say Hi, better than Ahoj or Cau
Something special about me
I am big fan of reptiles, especially Lizards. I finally got my first one 3 years ago and he's still alive! My dream is to one day have a pet Chameleon. .
My favorite thing about working in PARK
Everyone here, from the office staff to the teachers to the managers are all about the fun. There isn't the stuffiness I've seen in other places here. It's been a breath of fresh air after all these years.
