A memoir by an English teacher who moved overseas to live and teach in a Swiss boarding school, Looking Back tells the candid, evocative story of the trials of living overseas in the 60s & 70s as a fledgling teacher. Written with the help of diaries and letters dating back all those years, the author creates a lucid account of life as she experienced it, detailing her often poignant, sometimes comical, invariably incredible experiences.
From royalty, celebrities and infamous politicians’ children to the children of poor immigrants, the author has taught children from all backgrounds and considers herself privileged to have played even a small part in so many varied lives. She wrote this book to bring pleasure and insight to those who are considering going abroad to teach, as well as hoping to provide entertainment and insight to anyone who has ever been intrigued about what life used to be like in a boarding school in Switzerland.

The character of a passionate, talented teacher comes through in this memoir. Her book is truly full of the highs and lows of teaching English and dancing first at a boarding school and then in her own two studios. The focus of the book is on her teaching experience, but she briefly touches on the fact that early experiences shaped her passion for dancing and all its physical, mental and psychological benefits. It is clear that she taught with a great deal of compassion for others; creativity in the face of various challenges presented by students, parents and environments; and risk in terms of investment of time, money and ideas. The chapters are generally short and often group experiences together by some aspect of teaching. Examples include: The positive effect of teaching dance at the boarding school; teaching aspiring dancers to meet exam standards and being mindful of what students can handle at what age; the fun of learning; teaching classes in more than one language; teaching students with disabilities; teaching in a school community that was diverse according to race, class and ability; good and bad experiences staging dance shows at theaters; tips for parents to consider about their approach and expectations; the support of her mother, close friends and students; and finally the transfer of her studio to new leadership. Along the way, Ms. Realff also includes teaching experiences that were exhilarating, tragic, funny and poignant. The book describes a dancing teacher's life as very interesting and unpredictable. In this time of greater rules and technological advances, this book is about a teacher who acquired students based largely on word of mouth and created a family-like community.Product details
