Giving quizzes is so much easier than teaching

It really is. There is no work involved. Just looking over an answer key for correct answers. But honestly, I was glad to see my students did pretty well, so I guess I am doing something right. Or maybe it is just because they are an advanced class and already know the material. Either way I was glad to see no one was totally confused after the first weeks.

The advanced students I am teaching are pretty funny and very witty. Most of them are around my age so they have the same interests and seem to learn better because we talk about things that are interesting to them and not just material straight from the book.

Although we can't have in-depth conversations, I think after classes are over I am going to enjoy teaching the beginning level students just as much or even more than the advanced students. I think seeing them evolve from me name Pepe, to: my name is Pepe, I have 8 kids, three dogs and I like to go fishing will be very satisfying.
