A comment on my teacher evaluation haunted me. While other students praised my patience or provided simple feedback like, “he’s good”, one student wrote that I “did not have enough experience” but “has potential”. I felt like I was a teenager being scolded by well-intentioned parents. The latter comment was particularly devastating because this student noticed that I was not teaching to my full potential. And they were right.
For the past three years, I have taught EFL in universities in Shanghai, China through a company which provides lesson materials and placements for international teachers. Though we are provided with materials, I have always modified them to better suit my students.
