TEFL/TESOL certificate helped me to get a job

My name is Kate. I work in Belgium. English teachers, especially native speakers are in demand here. That’s why there is a cut-throat competition. The half of last year I was working in a local language center, where I got less than $10 per hour. So, I started looking for different ways how to raise my salary. Obviously, I needed something to prove my teaching knowledge. I checked vacancies on the Internet to find some online schools to apply for. However, all of them required either CELTA or TEFL certification. After research, I found out that the TEFL course is cheaper and more convenient in terms of duration. It was really interesting because all units were different and included theory and practice. The structure was clear and simple, and I tried to use all tips. My students said that my lessons became more entertaining. What is more important is I got a job in an international school with decent conditions.
