I have a passion for language learning, math and coding, inspired by a quote from Nelson Mandela: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." I believe that the ability to communicate in different languages not only expands our understanding of different cultures, but also helps us connect with others on a deeper level.
As for math and coding, they are also languages. For instance, as a physicist, I have to confess that I am very impress how we can describe nature with math, meaning it is akin to the language of nature. Therefore, math offers a door to understand at a deeper level our universe, from the atomic level to the cosmos :). As for coding, in this case it allow us not just to interact with a computer, but know with services world wide. Therefore, coding as a language can help us to connect more with our digital world. Finally, coding also provide us valuable tools to automate many tasks that are time consuming and repetitive. As a consequence, we can free up time to use it in activities that require a higher level of thought.
As for my lessons, I enjoy mentoring using playful activities, specially using content of interest to my students. This way, we engage more in the learning process and have positive experience that foster interest to keep learning :)
