Mr. Collins
33 years teaching English literature in Auckland
- 🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
- Eastgate Secondary School
- Since 1985
- English, Spanish
I came to teaching late, after working as a night-shift cleaner, and 41 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else.
Over the years I've had 1,230 students pass through my room. A few of them became teachers themselves, which still makes me smile.
More about Mr. Collins
The students I remember best weren't always the top of the class. They were the ones who asked "why?" when nobody else did.
Subjects taught
What gifts mean to Mr. Collins: Honestly the messages mean more, but a gift would help me buy supplies for my new classroom.
