      As you well know, this is not “my cup of tea” since it is out of my professional knowledge so I am going to tell you about my experience studying pedagogy.

.

      Believe or not, Pedagogy in English was not my first choice when making the decision of majoring; before that I study Veterinary Medicine at Universidad Santo Tomas and Business at Universidad Central. I did not succeed in any of both, I was very immature and to be honest I did not know what I was doing with my life at all!

      Nevertheless I always liked English language, I was good at it at school so I decided to study something related to the area. My first choice, again, was not pedagogy but translation. I studied that at Instituto Chileno Norteamericano and until now, I think it was one of the best decisions I have ever made; I had excellent teachers, passionate, full of knowledge and very demanding, most of them were adults or even approaching old age! I learned a lot from them.

      After I finished my studies I realized that I needed to have a steady job since as a translator you work mainly as a freelancer. The institute had a covenant with Universidad Mayor so I took advantage of it and I majored in pedagogy. I had several subjects, I loved some of them but, to be fair, there were others I did not like that much; however that is part of any process of majoring.

      I have to admit I did not realize that I liked teaching until my practice, but today, without any doubts, I can say that I simply love it!
