Though my main studies at university were in Tourism, once graduating I soon realised that this was not what I really wanted to do. After working for a company for a few months, I decided to change career.
At university, I helped a lot of overseas students with their studies, as English was not their first language. After quitting my job, I enrolled on a CELTA (Cambridge) Course and once qualified I started working immediately.
Experience & Career
The best way to gain experience in my industry is to work in different countries with different cultures. Once I had gathered enough experience, I decided to enrol myself on the TESOL Diploma (TRINITY) Course. Not only does this qualification allow me to train those who want to be teachers but it is also a licence to run my own language school.
