-What did you dislike about school?
The thing that I hate about schools is their inefficient educational system. They evaluate students only by their final exam grades however I believe in continuous assessments with marks for essays and projects during the course.
At what age do children go to school in your country?
Where I live youngest children start their education in kindergarten however compulsory education begins at the age of 7. They must attend a primary school where they learn their fundamental skills such as reading writing and mathematics.
- Have you ever done any online courses?
Yes, actually I’m doing a two-month online English course right now. As a student who has a part-time job online learning is more flexible for me and I can set my own schedule.
-What are some qualities of a good teacher?
Well, to begin with, a professional teacher should have advanced communication skills. If you are a good communicator you can express your lessons more effectively which leads to better results. Another important quality is being an active listener because you can gain respect from your students by listening to them.

Thanks to technology students can now have access to educational resources from anywhere at any time and education is not limited by location anymore. online learning platforms make education available to a wider range of learners.
Describe one of your favorite teachers.
I like most of my teachers but my English teacher is my favorite one. She has been my teacher for a year now. I adore her for many reasons first because of her personality. She is so loving and nice to all of her students and treats them with patience for example I remember a day when she spent hours of her free time just to help us with our assignments. The other thing that I love about her is her teaching techniques. Her strategy is to help us learn in class she uses games and movies to make English memorable. She was truly dedicated and totally focused on getting us to interact with her.
