About Me

im stef. im from hull in yorkshire and i love to see new places. I decided that since i didnt manage to get a place on this years GTP course i would put my year to good use whilst obtaining some useful classroom teaching experience which i am hoping will be fun in the meantime. i'll be honest i have butterflies as i've never just decided on something and then done it straight away but after the past years events i've decided lifes too short for dawdling and i should get on with it. so lets do it! :D

Give me a shout if you have any questions at all!
Erin

just done my first assesment level 1... passed woo! butttt for someone who did english lit and language at a level and an english degree i suck at grammar!!!

so... i've just signed up for the 140 hour combined tefl course..... terrified... excited... nervous.... pressure! aaaah! someone give me a clue as to what im in for is it horrendously hard... bear in mind im not doing a great deal at the min so this will be my primary focus.... also how difficult is it to get positions, preferably short term 3 months or less , im thinking summer jobs etc ... any reassurance would be appreciated. ive just finished my uni degree in english and have found meself for the first time in my life with nothing to do and no deadline etc (hence the course) thanks :D stef x
