Preeti Jain @ TEFL June 2017 B'lore

I'm Preeti Jain from Bangalore India. I'm a chartered accountant by profession. I've just finished my TEFL certification via an in-class training from Asian College of Teachers Bangalore. I've been teaching informally from quite sometime. But I've been wanting to change my teaching style and make it more fun and exciting. I wanted more value addition for my learners. I believe that my choice to obtain this TEFL certificate was a right step in right direction. Because, this course doesn't teach is English but innovative methods about how to teach English, which is precisely what I needed.

This was an academic experience for me after a long time and I must admit that I enjoyed it very much!! Warmers in class kept us active and helped us bond. It motivated me to adopt and include fun learning in my classes so that my learners could have an equally fun experience. Out trainer June has reshaped me into a more capable and compassionate teacher. Every staff at the college gave us constant support emotionally and during class training every single day. Meera and Madhu cared for our well being and it was such a beautiful and novel experience. First person to greet me every morning was Bhargavi and her smiles and encouragement kept me going on.

My dream is to teach students in different countries and help them learn English. I know the pain while trying to acquire second or third language, where we are unsure about our spellings, pronunciation, structure and usage. And it motivated me that i make learning new language an easier and fun process.

I want this journey of teaching English to take me places, to meet different people and just give my learners my best and more. To everyone reading this, don't hesitate, just go for it. This course makes you a better teacher and this experience makes you a better person.
