The below answers were given from real ITTT alumni who have agreed to share their thoughts for our blog section.
1. What’s your name?
Sabrina Oliveira
2. Where are you from? Where do you currently live?
I am from and currently residing in Brazil.
3. Which ITTT course(s) did you take?
4. Why did you take a TEFL/TESOL course from ITTT?
I took the course to be able to teach and live abroad.
5. What was your favorite part about the course?
I thoroughly enjoyed learning new techniques and methods to help the students.
6. You've finished your TEFL/TESOL course - now what? What are your plans and goals?
My dream is to look for jobs in my country, then open my options and go to another area, continent, probably Asia or even Europe.
7. What's your no. 1 tip for other TEFL/TESOL course takers? What should they know? What do you wish you knew before?
Read with attention the unit. They are absolutely amazing and complete, so do not miss details or informations, because there are all important.
8. Where would you like to teach English? Why? (If you already are teaching abroad - where do you teach and what do you like about that location?)
I would love to teach in Portugal, mostly because their native language is the same as mine, so it would be one barrier less to face.
9. Anything you'd like to add?
The job seeking links provided by ITTT enabled me to have a clear direct on how to find a job after I finished my course and lead to my first teaching job. The provided links ensured that I won't have that overwhelming lost feeling of what do I do now. It was really a life-saver. Thank you ITTT.
