WORKComing from Asia and especially China was a big step...after a short stay in France, I started a new job in Santiago! What is it about? To be an English teacher for Brazilians in Chile ...but online. It is a very famous concept in Brazil but in Europe ... unknown! Knowing that South America is our road trip! It was not an easy decision but we took it and I took up the challenge! What a change!... culture, job, language and lifestyle. The first day consisted in observing three classes before having my trial classes the very next day. I had an online training and the observations but it is quite a lot of things to manage on the same time. it is another teaching style: managing the chat, the notes pad, the slides, and of course teaching students you don´t even see and that speak Portuguese English! What a deal! I was really stressed out the 15 first minutes but once I cooled down ... I mastered the class! Good feedback and observations! It was just the beginning ... FLowers ...on the way to work! In the office, I was welcomed and colleagues offered support for anything.
It was magic! Students love my classes too although some of them don´t like my teaching style. But my reviews are very good. There always will be unsatisfied ones ... A computer, a webcam, a mic, and a notepad! enter the queue (the classroom) and students will show up!
