Although I’m still new to Cafetalk and haven’t had the pleasure of meeting my first student here yet, I’ve had the joy of teaching many wonderful learners through my previous schools. As teachers, we often focus on what we teach — grammar, pronunciation, fluency, confidence. But this year, I realised how much my students have taught me in return.
They taught me patience — not the classroom kind, but the human kind. The kind that reminds you that everyone learns at their own pace, and that progress is progress, no matter how small.
They taught me curiosity. Every question they asked reminded me that learning is a lifelong journey, and there is always something new to explore, even in a subject you teach every day.
They taught me resilience. I watched students juggle work, school, family, stress, exams, and still show up with determination to improve their English. Their commitment inspired me to show up even stronger for them.
Most importantly, they taught me connection. English became more than a language — it became a bridge. Through our lessons, I learned about their cultures, dreams, struggles, and successes. Each lesson reminded me that teaching isn’t just about the subject; it’s about people.
As I begin my journey here on Cafetalk, I look forward to learning even more — from every student I meet.
Here’s to a new chapter, new lessons, and new connections.
