Culture Immersion and personal growth abroad

August 09, 2024by: Hafiza Fabia Arooj - Pakistan
4

My experience abroad was a transformative journey of cultural immersion and personal growth. Living in a different country allowed me to embrace a new way of life, meet diverse people, and gain a deeper understanding of global perspectives. I faced challenges that pushed me out of my comfort zone, but these experiences ultimately helped me grow more adaptable, resilient, and open-minded. From navigating new languages to exploring unique traditions, my time abroad enriched my worldview and left a lasting impact on both my personal and professional life.

Too good an experience

Too good an experience, I came in without any knowledge of teaching, and learning, and all the other concepts, and I came out as a well-versed English teacher. I will definitely be back for an even better course soon.

This was not as easy as I first thought it would be but I'm glad for that. I truly feel like I learned the material and have an good understanding to go forward with.

A little disappointed

I just discovered that the company I work for in Thailand is undercutting my salary because they used Premier TEFL as a recruiting agency. I would have been paid MORE if they found me on the streets of Bangkok.... sounds fishy to me... I would avoid Media Kids and Premier TEFL.
