THIS IS ME...

Eva Laura Acosta 

Teacher of English and Spanish as Second Languages

Hello, how are you?

My full name's Eva Laura Acosta.

At home my son calls me mum, my husband love, and my students teacher or Eva, the name I love.

I was born in Esquel in 1965, and one month later, my parents moved to Trelew, where I still live

When I was 6 years old I was sent to Maria Auxiliadora School, a Catholic school, where I attended from 1st grade in 1971  to 5th year, 1982, year of the Malvinas War.

In 1982, the Malvinas Islands, now known as the Falkland Islands, were retaken by the Argentine army, which was the year my schooling came to an end. 

MALVINAS WAR

After secondary school  was over, I was not sure what to follow, whether or not to go to a university or to start work...however, 

...one early  morning,  I woke up, and a decision had been made: to become an English teacher.

That was a really brave decision! 

Remember that, because of the war, in those years in Argentina there were no musicians in English, no TV shows in English, no even a newspaper in the English language! 

Oh, my god... what had I thought? What would I do?😰

But luckily, I had made the right decision!

My career, since then, has taken me to travel and work around the world, and I can certainly say I have had a happy life. Yes,  I have had a nice life. 

The following picture shows Massey University, New Zealand, where I was trained as a teacher of English, for a Master's Degree, in 2012.

And his is the Pacific College, where I worked for 5 years as a teacher of teachers, till 2019, New Zealand.

Today,  I was chosen to be your teacher of English, I am really happy again. 

Since I think we are going to get along well. 

What do you think?

Nice to meet you!
