My name is Lukas Holas and this year it is my greatest pleasure to teach English and History&Politics for grades 7, 8 and 9 and International Relations for our high school students. More specifically, I am looking forward to meeting all students who have selected subjects such as English Acceleration, English and American Literature, History&Politics and European Affairs. I am eager to share my knowledge and experience gained during my Master's and PhD studies of the International Relations, extensive travelling adventures and years of teaching English and political sciences with a great community of students, parents and teachers at Living Word Shanghai, of which I am proud and honoured to be a member.

我为什么选择成为老师

Field of education started appealing to me just at the age of students of our school - during my middle- and high school studies. My English and Geography teachers have always been a great source of inspiration to me. No matter how complicated and difficult to understand the issue was, we, students, could never find limits of their patience and willingness to help the whole class as well as individuals. As a rule, no obstacle was too high for them in their quest to see student's academic and personal development as long as the student was eager to cooperate. At first, we could hardly get used to their strict approaches, demanding discipline and regular preparation for classes. It was only later that we discovered how invaluable these traits were and how much they contributed to our better results not only at school, but also in real life. On the other hand, their teaching methods based on authentic situations from their stays in handful of foreign countries, easy-to-imagine examples and professional, yet friendly approach to students were popular among all students from our very first lessons.

在初高中时期，我开始感受到教育的魅力。我的英语和地理老师一直是我的榜样。无论帮助整个班级以及个人突破是多么复杂和困难的问题，他们永远都不会失去他们的耐心和意愿。只要学生积极合作，那么在追求自身更好发展的道路上就不会有太大的障碍。起初，我们几乎不能适应他们严格的教学方法、纪律和课程准备。直到后来，才发现他们的建议是多么的宝贵，他们对学生的教导不仅是在学校，而且在现实生活中也有潜移默化的影响。另一方面，从他们过去在几个国家的教学经历可以看到，友好的方法是受所有学生欢迎的。教学经验

Just a few years after completing my high school, I felt confident enough to spread my knowledge and share it with my first students. Lessons with elementary school and middle school students helped me master my teaching skills before I started having classes with university students during my PhD studies and young IT professionals at various levels of hierarchy at Asseco Central Europe - prestigious, internationally operating IT solution business in Europe. Years spent with high school students in China before coming to Living Word Shanghai put my teaching experience into a whole new perspective.

在我读完高中后的几年后，我觉得有足够的信心传播我的知识，并与我的批学生分享。教授小学和初中的课程帮助我不断精进我的教学水平，所以当我读博士的时候去教授大学生和青少年IT技能的时候我也能游刃有余，当时我在Asseco Central Europe教授课程，这是一家在国际享有盛誉的IT解决方案提供公司。而在中国与上海高中生相处的几年让我在教学方面有了全新的视角。

教学风格

However, never have I forgotten the lessons learnt from my English and Geography teachers: be strict, yet fair, friendly and patient, mix bits of humour and competitivness into serious activities and never run out of examples to illustrate the topic of discussion. Class talks in which individual opinions and critical thinking are encouraged, games, real-life examples from more than 60 countries that I have visited or lived in, removing fear of making mistakes and not giving up on any student have proved to be effective tools to achieve students' ambitions, which, in fact, become my ambitions, too. Because it is only through hard and persistent work that I can find my greatest motivation.

我从来没有忘记我的英语和地理教师的经验总结：要严格，但公平、友好和耐心，将幽默和竞争力融入到严肃的活动中，用实例来解释问题。课堂上的个人意见和批判性思维值得鼓励。就我已经去过60多个国家的经验告诉我，不要害怕犯错，要乐于尝试学生们认为是有效的工具，来帮助学生实现他们的想法，这实际上也是我的期许。因为只有通过努力和持续的工作，我才能找到我的积极性和动力。

在LWS的期望

What feeling brings more joy than happiness in the face of a student who passed all exams with excellent scores and was accepted by prestigious foreign universities? What can be a better source of self-growth for a teacher than substantially higher confidence of his students when they use their English skills in real life or understand complicated contemporary issues of the international relations? I can think of none.

没有什么能比看到学生取得优异的成绩并被心仪的学校录取更让我欣慰的，也没有什么比学生将他的所学应用到生活中去更让我感到开心的了。
