Ricardo Salazar

Education professional who believes in pedagogy as a tool to accompany and help students to be able to conduct and live competently with knowledge and skills of the 21st century. With 9 years of experience in Chile, Australia, and Japan, I considered myself a professional who knows how to work with individual diversity on an international background, who can manage a class with a stimulating, inclusive and participatory environment, where the needs of each student will be considered as much as possible. Committed and highly motivated to continue in this career where learning should never end.
