About Me

I am currently living in the Cantal, in the Auvergne region of France breeding rabbits for a living having spent 8 years breeding sheep and farming in  the Charente.  I want to earn extra money and develop a second career as farming is hard and I can't imagine doing it forever.  Lots of people have asked if I can help their kids with their English - I have tried, but I didn't know how to do it and as I don't like taking people's money under false pretences I thought I'd get TEFL qualified. Didn't know it would be so fascinating!  If the opportunity arose I'd like to teach in any southern european country.

Webinars

Has anyone taken part in the 'webinars' and if so can you tell me what they are like.  They sound a bit scary - online TEFL is quite anonymous - this requires 'participation'.  Do they involve Skype?  Would I have to change out of my pyjamas? I've finished my course but the webinars are still available to me.  As I haven't started teaching yet perhaps it might be a good way for me to 'keep...

Passed my Young Learners

Now I don't suppose anyone out there is interested, but I have just passed the YL module on my second attempt.  I didn't get any help from the Helpdesk - bit disappointed about that - I did it all on my own.  What I would say about anyone attempting the lesson plan is follow the model to the letter, put in some of your own ideas for games but don't make it overly complicated.  I...
