The author took Mandarin classes with a teacher named Win from February 2015 and found her to be very professional and adaptive to each student's needs and preferences. The author's Mandarin improved greatly over the course of studying with Win, feeling more confident interacting with locals in Shanghai and traveling elsewhere in China. Besides language lessons, Win also incorporated discussions of Chinese culture, food and festivals to make classes more engaging. Win remained accessible outside of class to answer any additional questions.

Content_Ukrainian high school education is hopelessly outmoded
The Ukrainian secondary education system is considered hopelessly outdated for several reasons. It does not allow students to study subjects that interest them or develop their talents. Additionally, low salaries and stigma around teaching have impaired education quality by reducing the number of qualified teachers. While the system provides widespread basic education, it does not develop skills needed for students to find appropriate careers or compete internationally.

Reflection on my practicum experience agustina sarmiento
This document summarizes a student's reflections on their practicum experience teaching English at a primary school. Some of the key challenges included teaching a student with Down syndrome for the first time and improving their use of English in the classroom.

- 1. Feed Back FEEDBACK FOR WIN, MY MANDARIN TEACHER I started taking Mandarin lessons with Win just four months ago after having tried other teachers and being a bit frustrated…the moment I met Win for the first time I felt really comfortable with her way of speaking, her calm personality and her interest in my specific needs. There was an instant connection that made me say, yes! this is the person I want to help me learn Mandarin. She is always very patient with the many questions and doubts I have and always willing to make her best effort to explain to me in ample detail every little or big question that I have, never satisfied until I have understood the concept. We have followed a class structure that has been very helpful for my specific needs, which consists of my everyday life situations, whether it is planning a trip, having guests over, organizing my daughter’s wedding, getting medicines for my husband, having a dress made, booking a table at a restaurant, etc, etc…My vocabulary and grasp of the grammar and understanding has increased significantly as well as my confidence in being able to go out and actually speak and communicate with other people. I have only words of praise for Win and her teaching methods and more than anything else, her professionalism and excellent knowledge in teaching, as well as her wonderful qualities as a human being.
