Once upon a time (not too long ago) I was pretty sure my future was in teaching English. But after more than 16 years of active learning (in school and with my "private" tutor of 15 years) I switched English for science. I did some tutoring of my own for a couple of years, but then the science studies kidnapped all of my free time.Recently, thanks to the infamous recession, I've returned to tutoring a couple of neighbourhood kids and rediscovered the joys of TESL. After almost 10 years of working with children (my grad studies are partially aimed at teaching science) I now have much more teaching experience and confidence in general. I'm also thinking of taking the CPE exam sometime in the near future; not just to prove to myself that I can do it, but also to get some official proof that I've actually learned something over the years.I'm not going to leave the science for English, but one-on-one tutoring is challenging, fun and rewarding, and it's also an excellent way to go (again) through all of those grammar rules and definitions that got a little bit rusty over time.So...*goes to poke around the place*...I don't have much time to spend in these parts, but I'll be seeing you around :)
