When I finished school (many years ago) I was totally uninterested in teaching and, for 30 years, followed an alternative career. Then, about ten years ago I decided that I wanted to do something that felt more 'fulfilling' with an idea of teaching voluntarily overseas. So...I did the TEFL course and was totally HOOKED...! I love meeting new people and helping them progress with their English...which to me is such an important issue for so many people. I love grappling with grammar and fretting about phrasal verbs and mulling over modals...it's FUN :)
