After spending five years in the administrative industry, I made the decision to transition to ESL teaching due to the opportunity of working from home. I began my teaching journey with children at Acadsoc, a China-based company that caters to the learning needs of Chinese individuals ranging from ages 4 to 53. The teaching platform provided materials that simplified the teaching process. Additionally, I started freelancing on Preply, where I had to undergo a placement test to become eligible. I achieved a C1 level on the test. Unlike Acadsoc, Preply requires instructors to create their own lesson materials and tailor them to each student's specific learning goals in English. I've had the opportunity to teach students from a diverse range of nationalities on Preply, including Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian, and Mexican learners. This diversity has bolstered my confidence in teaching, as I've gained experience in catering to individuals of different races and varying levels of fluency.
