  • Love the Pod

    On my way to becoming a TEFL teacher, just a couple months away.. I really enjoy this podcast. It has helped me gain more realistic expectations of what it means to be a TEFL.

    Here’s a question: As someone who is introverted, how do I find more confidence before I actually start working in the classroom?
