I'm all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To be a teacher you have to have a very giving, selfless personality. I don't think I'm that selfless and giving.
As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn't serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can't be taught.
Many people who excel are self-taught.
I would say I'm self-taught, but Corinne Day made me less conscious of myself. I was 15, and she'd make me take off my top, and I'd cry. After five years, you get used to it, and you're not self-conscious anymore.
Few have been taught to any purpose who have not been their own teachers.
I never studied, but I had the best teachers.
I had no training in research as such, and as a consequence, I am, in a sense, self-taught.
I used to be really insecure about my self-education. I'm definitely always learning. But there's many ways to learn. There are many, many ways to always be a learner.
As a student I learned from wonderful teachers and ever since then I've thought everyone is a teacher.
I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.
