[ELTeCS_PERU] What makes a good professional teacher?

With the beginning of not only a new year but a new decade, the question in the title of this blog  entry is more than pertinent, specially for those of us who are convinced that improving is the only way to go. Now, when we start a fresh, is the best time to sit down at the beach (lucky you!), breathe the ocean flavoured air, listen to the seagulls and the rumour of the waves , relax and talk to ourselves, intimately.
