As I said in the introduction, the experience I am starting now is new for me. When I started my degree in journalism I had never thought about being a teacher, otherwise I would have studied another thing. Despite that, I have been working with kids for a long time, usually in the way of non-formal education but also giving remedial classes to kids from seven to eighteen. I have worked as an English teacher in summer camps, giving classes and talking in English 24/7 with five year-old kids that didn’t understand a word in English (it was quite exasperating because it was impossible to calm them down when they were homesick –most of the night times-). Consequently, I cannot consider myself as totally inexperienced in working with kids. However, I am sure that being in front of a class –this is what formal education means- with more than twenty teenagers observing you has to be totally different. We will see what happens.
