Excellent experience!
by: E K - United StatesProgram: 100% Online Cambridge CELTA CourseI recently completed the online part-time CELTA course with Oxford TEFL.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I initially started out as a primary teacher. After finishing my PGCE I worked at two independent girls’ schools in Manchester for five years, mainly preparing pupils for grammar school entrance exams. I think this is where my love for exam classes stems from! Although I always enjoyed teaching the British primary curriculum, I had also been interested in TEFL for a while and eventually I decided to change my career path slightly and enrolled on a TESOL cert course. I really enjoyed the programme and loved the new classroom experience, just focusing on one subject and having more mature students. I could finally focus on what I loved best: teaching, instead of having to do a lot of extra paperwork, playground duties, after school clubs etc. After three years of EFL experience in the UK doing the diploma was the next logical step in my professional development.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I first got into teaching while I was still in college. I taught two or three groups of students at a language school in Monterrey (Mexico) to earn some money for myself. When I graduated from university and got my degree in Psychology, I wanted to save some money to be able to get a Masters before establishing myself as a practicing psychologist. I took up a full-time teaching job at an elementary school, where I taught both English and Science to third and fifth graders, and eventually fell in love with teaching as a profession. I taught there for four years and then considered moving to Spain. In spite of my teaching experience, I heard from employers in Barcelona that I would need to have an internationally recognized teaching certificate so that they could consider hiring me. I registered for the Trinity CertTESOL course and was fortunate enough to find a full-time job the month after I completed the course.

Interviewed in 2014
What inspired you to travel abroad?
I was working as a Director of Teacher Training in a School in Barcelona. I didn’t like the way it was being run and two of my colleagues agreed with me. We thought we could do better. Not 100 percent pure idealism though. We also thought it would be better to be in control of our own fate/jobs so there was a practical reason too.
