destination.

My experience as a teacher

My experience as a professional teacher is little, I have worked giving school reinforcements

at home and I have taught arts classes in some private schools because I studied 6 semesters

of plastic arts at the University of the Atlantic then I suspended it to start my degree in

English, last semester I did my pedagogical practice I at the CODEBA school, I seeding a

class as a teacher, I did not dictate because due to the pandemic we work in a virtual way, I

collaborated with my tutor at the school with the completion of study guides and exams for

the students. that many students have very latent deficiencies in grammar that is why I think

it should be fundamental from my point of view to strengthen this part of the students in this

way the other skills will flow little by little.
