Lean into the experience

This was my first time going to Europe and I made a big leap moving and doing this program. I felt so grateful to have taken this tesol course. It is quite an intensive course and moves very quickly! I recall there were a few teary eyed crash outs as I was doing my lesson plans. Looking back now I laugh because I was just in the pressures of moving abroad, navigating metro systems, and having to ensure I kept up with the program. However with the support of the program I was able to finish and become a certified English teacher. The program then set up my interviews. I would say the time of year you do the program does matter. I recommend doing it at the start of the school year. However, there are plenty part time jobs you can pick up throughout the year. I was able to secure two job offers a week after graduating the program. I also substitute at an academy. Finding a flat was a bit of a tricky task but not impossible! I was most afraid I would come here and be completely alone. Which is so far from the truth I bonded with everyone from the program and some have become very good friends.
