I taught my first private lesson today.
I received my CELTA last year with plans to go to Ecuador to meet with some extended family who are established teachers. However, I got cold feet. So recently I made the goal to start private online lessons to get myself back into the swing of things. I don’t have a degree, and I’m not the most educated guy, but I’m very personable and commit myself to strengthening my weaknesses.
So here’s my question to those who have taken the leap and moved abroad; how did you muster up the confidence to leave everything you know behind? What was your mindset?
