On the occasion of our Teachers’ Day 2025, we asked Andrea Z\u00e1humensk\u00e1, one of the speakers, a few questions. Read her answers below.<\/p>

Can you briefly introduce yourself and your expertise?<\/h2>

I\u2019m responsible for the professional development of teachers at The Bridge and ensuring the quality of teaching. I\u2019m a qualified teacher and an EMCC Coaching Practitioner.<\/p>

What are you going to talk about at the conference? How do you think the audience will benefit from your insights?<\/h2>

I\u2019ll be discussing the benefits of school-based mentoring\u2014how it supports teachers, enhances student learning, and ultimately strengthens schools. I\u2019ll also share insights from our mentoring program and its impact.<\/p>

Do you recall any particular experience or aha-moment that you have had recently in terms of teaching or learning?<\/strong><\/h2>

It wasn\u2019t necessarily an \u201caha\u201d moment, but I felt incredibly proud of our mentors during our last discussion on self-reflection. They showed great humility, remained open to learning, and truly committed to finding ways to “unlock” their mentees\u2019 potential. Most importantly, they see themselves as equal partners with their mentees, developing a relationship built on mutual respect and trust.<\/p>

What are you working on\/learning at the moment?<\/h2>

I\u2019m currently learning Italian to keep my memory active and to better empathize with my learners by experiencing the challenges of language acquisition firsthand.<\/p>

If you were supposed to give only a single piece of advice to fresh graduates who start their teaching path, what would it be?<\/h2>

Teaching is an incredibly rewarding profession where you can make a profound impact on others. Keep learning, stay curious, and remember to see things from your students\u2019 perspectives.<\/p>

<\/p>

Thank you.<\/p>

<\/p>
