I completed the course while working as a researcher. The lesson-planning section gave me techniques I now use every day teaching English at a public school in Daegu, South Korea.
Finishing the course let me earn a stable income teaching online. It’s helped me prepare for my first baby, move into a bigger place, and fully support myself.
The course helped me build confidence and start pursuing teaching. After getting certified, I received offers from private kindergartens, elementary schools, and conversation schools in Warsaw.
