A POPULAR TEACHER
Jane Bridges teaches teenagers in my school in Newcastle, in the north
of England. Jane worked for a large international company in an office
in London for many years before she changed her career. Although she
earned a lot more money in London, Jane decided she was bored with
her job, and she was unhappy at work. Jane says that teaching is
interesting every day and now she feels that she is doing something
useful and important.
Jane thinks that her time as a successful businesswoman made her a
strong person, and this helps her in the classroom. She also remembers
how difficult school was at times, when she was a teenager herself, and
how tiring it could be to have to study every day.
Jane believes that using computers and the internet is the best way to
make her students excited about our lessons. She discusses subjects that
we are interested in and makes these things part of her lessons. By doing
this, we don't feel that we are doing something difficult or boring but
actually we learn a lot more.
All her students even send their homework to Jane by email and every
class that she teaches has their own Facebook group. Here students can
chat about what we are learning, and we can also share ideas. It is not
surprising that Jane is one of the most popular teachers in my school.

student in
London.

earn more
money.

know what
else to do.

easy life. D She thought

happier.
