I had already been living in Greece for a while when the idea of teaching English to Greek children was presented to me. The children are so eager to learn and schools are always on the look-out for native speakers. Searching the internet I found OnTesol and I was on my way. The course itself, well-presented and easy to follow, was backed up by the support and insight of my tutor. Having finished my practicum in Canada, I felt confident that I had gained the skills I needed. A good teaching course is invaluable in giving you a solid foundation and set of tools with which to start out. I am shy by nature but found that teaching English to speakers of other languages invigorating, bringing out a side of me that I had never known existed. Share, teach and learn. It is worth it.

I have not yet had the opportunity to go abroad but I’m looking forward to it. I’m sure it will be an amazing experience. Having this certification will give me a huge advantage when I’m applying for jobs.
