							| If I were you I �d start with getting ready for an international exam in English. Try FCE or IELTS first. I found it really motivating myself at the beginning of my career. That helped me with my work later. |  24 Sep 2015

							|  Hi Jenny, I agree with ninon100 and suggest you improve your English by taking an international exam and maybe by spending a couple of months in an English speaking country.  Did you train to be a teacher or did you just study English? Knowing the language doesn �t enable one to be a teacher, and a couple of tricks or pieces of advice on how to teach aren �t enough, I �m afraid. What sort of training do teachers get in your country?     |  26 Sep 2015

							| There are two great FREE online courses (a certificate is not free though but registration and the course itself is) on Futurelearn which can give you lots of insights. |  26 Sep 2015
