Building Engagement and Understanding in Language Learning

I found the TEFL 140-hour course to be really detailed and practical. The lessons offered explicit instruction on lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching tactics for a wide range of students. The content was entertaining, with relevant examples and activities that made theoretical concepts simple to understand. I loved the emphasis on learner-centered approaches, scaffolding courses, and the use of creative technologies to increase engagement. Overall, this training has considerably increased my confidence and skills as a potential English teacher, preparing me to effectively encourage and motivate students at all levels.

A great time

English comes natural to me so when I start to work in the costumer service, where I had to document and speak a lot in english, I had fun. Because I am an older sister that has junger siblings teaching comes easy and supporting them when it's getting harder.

Love Mexican life!

I’ve travel extensively through Mexico including in the back of a bus throughout the country with a friend. I’ve never taught abroad but am a certified child & youth worker (3 year specialized program completed in 2 years) who has provided programs to children who fall short in language, math and other academic areas. I would need to provide a resume to share my extensive experience in designing, implementing & receiving government & private funds to operate the programs. My experience is also in teaching adults to work & volunteer in these positions. I’ve also been self employed for 16 years which included workshops, seminars & coaching. I am a certified business & life coach and have a college certificate in teaching & training adults.

Life abroad, I gave my best and there was a good return

The years I lived in China. Were enjoyable and that gives me the courage to try other countries and Japan is a definite pick for me. I went to China, Beijing in particular, in 2010, October. I worked as an Accountant for about Eight ( 8) years, when my contract of work in that particular company came to an end. The subsequent years, I gave decided to give teaching a try. I later discovered it was a new world of everyday growth and development through learning to keep oneself on track with a dynamic world, and to help kids learn and acquire up to date knowledge. Indeed I was grateful and thankful to both my employers for the opportunity I was given to put my skills to task, and to good use. And in the year 2019, October I decided to return home to see my parents. before I knew it. There was an outbreak of the current Pandemic termed " COVID-19. Since then, 2019, when i returned home. it's been quite long and I feel i need to be on the move . For the 8 years i lived abroad makes me a cross national citizen who can comfortably live and feel at home, almost in any part of the world. And therefore my choice this time round is Japan, I want a new life experience. Japan being famous for its technology and a stable country security wise gives me a good feel to visit the country of Japan. I have heard of the famous Japanese Sushi which I have had a chance to taste while in Beijing, along the famous street called "Lucky street" And close to this street is the famous "21st Century Hotel" Which houses the house of Worship mainly attended by foreigners. Along "Lucky street " It's where you find almost all the Japanese Restaurants. The reason for these is that the Japanese Embassy is also, in the same Location.
