I chose to study PINE at UDA because its curriculum stood out as modern, well-structured, and aligned with my linguistic interests, unlike the outdated programs at other institutions. UDA’s emphasis on professionalism, including the C1 English requirement for graduation, reflects its high standards. My goal as an English teacher is to break traditional methods, inspire creativity, and make learning engaging and lasting for students. Coming from a low socioeconomic background and poor public schooling, I became self-taught, which ignited a deep passion for education. I aim to transform the educational system by empowering students to go beyond the curriculum, think independently, and believe in themselves.

My reason for studying this major at UDA was because of the opportunities that are found within the career and the university. We can participate in different projects that will be helpful in the future. I hope to make a difference as an English teacher by helping students with their learning and making them more interested in the language so they can see English as something fun and not another subject.

My reason to study this major is that my passion resides in teaching people other languages and facilitating the process, and not making it look like such a daunting task to learn a new language. Learning should be fun and exciting for newcomers, which is why I appreciate this major, because it surprised me with the quality of the classes. I look forward to my future colleagues joining this major and becoming the best English teachers they can be.

Hi, I’m Nahia. I’ve always wanted to be an English teacher, and I chose to study at UDA because the curriculum offered exactly what I needed to become the best educator I can be. It includes a wide range of subjects that I believe are essential for my growth as a teacher. My passion for teaching comes from inspiring role models in my life, and in the future, I hope to be a teacher who students trust and remember with fondness—a teacher who truly understands them and supports their growth with patience and motivation.

I've been fascinated by the English language since I was 9 years old. It was always my favorite subject in school, and I took the initiative to teach myself in my free time. I've visited the United States a couple of times, where I became even more captivated by how English connects me—an Ecuadorian—to people from all over the world. This experience inspired me to teach others and share the incredible opportunities the language offers. I chose UDA because I believe the knowledge I’ll gain will enrich my teaching approach in creative and impactful ways, while also helping me grow as a professional.
