Dr Eva Hoffman : “I have been a lifelong learner and yet I never liked school. I didn't like it when I was little and I didn’t like it as a teenager. The moment I left school, things changed. When I became a teacher, I promised myself that if I saw my students not loving to learn I would change my profession. I believe that it’s a crime if there’s no heart in the teaching or the learning.
I am from a loving family of lifelong learners. My parents were musicians and professionals at a music academy. When my father was eighty-seven years old, this is what I heard as I walked into the house, ‘Look what I have just learned!’ A typical greeting of his.
I was not a bad student. It's interesting, because my friends remember me as a very good student. I don't think I was. I mean, I got the right grades. I managed everything that I needed to manage. I passed all the exams, there was no problem of that kind. There also was no heart in the teaching. I had only one teacher who really taught me something that I carry on until today. In my mind, that was not good enough. I promised myself that as a teacher, I’d be remembered in a different way.
I've been extremely interested in people and when you get to know them, when you are interested in them, the next step is loving them.?
I have always loved teaching and when I have a chance to teach, I feel the connection. I feel love.”

7 个月There must be heart in teaching. Unfortunately, this is often not the case, but it’s wonderful to come across teachers and professors with heart.
