I am from and currently residing in Bishkek City, Kyrgyzstan.
3. Which ITTT course(s) did you take?
4. Why did you take a TEFL/TESOL course from ITTT?
There was a contest organized by the US department and Peace Corps Volunteers. I have participated and won the competition. This is one of the reasons I found out about ITTT.

5. What was your favorite part about the course?
I thoroughly enjoyed observing the video lesson from the point of ESA.

At the moment, I am preparing my working plan on teaching 120 teachers from different regions and will share my teaching knowledge with them.
7. What's your no. 1 tip for other TEFL/TESOL course takers? What should they know? What do you wish you knew before?
Before reading the unit material, I watched the video, took notes and then I started reading the material. You can reread the articles and if you have not finish your test, you can do it later.
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 am already a teacher at scholl gynazium #29 in Kyrgystna. I have been teaching students ranged from 8-18 years old for more than 15 years.
