My favorite thing about working with college students is introducing them to new concepts then seeing their eyes open up to ideas then never occurred to them before. There was a lot Professor Novak's Basic Painting course taught me about teaching at a college level. It was a great experience and it just felt like the right fit, that's why I'm looking forward to teaching students in the future.01/06 - 04/07 English TeacherAtelier Niesler, Berlin, GermanyTeaching English in a German firm.
