My TEFL Academy Level 5 experience

I enrolled in the TEFL Academy Level 5 course when the whole world was under lockdown with the COVID-19 pandemic. Amidst the chaos, this course helped me gain focus and redefine my goals and directed me towards a meaningful and beneficial pathway: teaching English as a foreign language. As someone who has learned other foreign languages, it was really interesting to see how I can teach my home language to others. On a recent trip to Pakistan, I was asked to teach a young girl English. I was not prepared and did not know where to start with teaching English. However, after this course, I feel much more confident, able and excited, to teach English to students of various backgrounds.
