What our "junior trainers"/ trainee teachers say

"I think that such a traineeship is the best thing that could happen to those who choose to become teachers. I could not really understand what a difficult task I had until I found myself in front of a group of very different people with different expectations and different learning habits. It is a real challenge, at every meeting I have with my students I learn something new about teaching and about myself as a teacher. I learn from my students, my students learn from me; it's a win-win situation and I am happy I was given the chance to do this."
