My ideal teacher Part 1 With the novel virus upheaval and rolling in abundance of free time on our hands, and affordable native speaker lessons forced us to explore our own abilities and be socially and culturally closer to understanding people of our target language. Contemplating upon my experience of learning Korean online via casualized platforms as well as on my own teaching, I could identify some expectations for my ideal teacher. Nobility. Educationally and socially. Higher level of education (not necessarily recognized university degrees) brings broad mindfulness, awareness of people regarding extended soft skills, kindness, gentleness. Lifelong learning should accompany any teacher through personal and professional career. High moral values are a vital asset not exclusevly for a teacher. Not to mention the absence of any anti-social habits such as smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol. Also, as being a teacher requires adaptation to precarious labour conditions. Teachers are standing among other creative professions such as musicians, artists, filmmakers and other freelancers. Therefore, a strong support network of family and friends is required to sustain harsh environment of unstable, unreliable work conditions in order to feel safe and socially included in a class of intellectuals. As for me, I constantly pursue new educational goals within my work framework and outside. I evict myself from my comfort zone in order to step to new exoticized experiences. To demystify generalisations and prejudices, I learn new languages and physically immerse myself in a culture. Such experiences make me grow and withstand concentrated misconceptions and wrong beliefs to promote tolerance and human development.
