This is me, Sol, a 24-year-old woman, born and raised in Buenos Aires.
As a proud Argentine,I’m a football enthusiast through and through. I’m a passionate River Plate supporter, watch matches regularly, and love diving deep into everything soccer-related.
Of course, I am all about dulce de leche, mate and empanadas.
Spanish is the language that feels like home, the language that has shaped my bond with family and culture. But English? It’s a language I’ve learned to love, and it’s become my second home. So, part of my identity is being bilingual —my heart and thoughts flow in both Spanish and English. My love for English was so deep that pushed me to choose teaching as a way to dive deeper into the language. If everything goes as planned, I’ll graduate as a teacher by the end of the year, as I’m in the final stretch of my teacher training course, with 3 subjects from 4th year and 2 subjects from 3rd year. This journey has been pregnant with lessons, challenges, and growth,where I’ve learned the importance of resilience—especially after moments of failure. Amidst all the highs and lows,I’ve come to realize failure is often the best teacher, with each misstep bringing us closer to improvement and, ultimately, success. Along the way, I’ve also learned the importance of patience, since success doesn’t come overnight—it is a process that takes consistent effort and time. But, with God by my side, all things are possible. With His help, I’ve been able to reach where I am now.
In addition to my academic journey, I have 4 years of teaching experience with young learners mainly though I’ve had teen groups at a language school. My teaching journey first started in 2021 when I taught virtually in primary school due to the lockdown. It was a unique experience I would not repeat, especially with parents observing, interrupting, and critiquing my lessons alongside the headmistress. Because of this, I decided I would never teach kids in a virtual setting again, though I’m open to working with teens or adults in that format.
Looking back on those pandemic times, my experience with educational technology was quite positive as I’m a techy person who loves digital tools for their practicality and time-saving features. In 2020, I adapted to Zoom, Meet, and other platforms pretty quickly. I like technology so much that I even teach coding this year at a primary school.
Given this background, my expectation for this subject is to learn more about digital tools I can use in my classes to enhance the learning experience.
