We’ve found that about 10% of our teachers have been fairly bad (just like when we were in high school and college), 80% are okay (we learn stuff, enjoy it well enough), and 10% are terrific. The terrific ones inspire you and make you really look forward to the next day’s class. Now, it’s common to finish a Spanish class (especially an immersion class) and say “that was hard”, or “I think I learned a few things today”. But how great it is to come out of a class and say “That was FUN” or “I finally understand what those …. are all about now.” That’s the best. And even better, a really good teacher makes you come away from a class thinking that it was about YOU – that the teacher saw YOU and spoke to YOU and wanted YOU to succeed. Good feeling.
