A 40 year-old woman was eyed teaching under the Cacao tree at Tapa, Cantilan during the home visit conducted by the School Head of Cantilan Pilot School ,Tuesday, October 20, 2020.

Mrs. Rutchel F. Zarate, married with six children is known of helping her neighbors rendering free tutorial services every after school.

“I really love teaching children especially the least fortunate ones”, she said while carrying her one year-old daughter during the interview. “I could feel their dire need to be educated”, she added.

She has six learners daily from her closed neighbors who are scheduled once in the morning before lunch and after school. She has neighbors too who stand as her helpers in a face-to-face tutorial.

Mrs. Zarate extends her true compassion to serve her fellows in this new normal as the pupils adjust to the modular distance learning.

“I know the learners are still adjusting to cope up answering the modules, some find it hard without the teacher’s guidance that is why I’m here to help”, Mrs. Zarate said.
