My English skills

Hi There!
I'm an English teacher in my hometown trying to improve my English skills particularly conversational English. Honestly, I've got the work because I'm having connections meaning that I shouldn't be there as a teacher but I'm not feeling guilty cause I'm eager and confident that I can do it at this stage. Besides, I'm an English translation student in university being prepared academically. On the other hand, the institute which I work in, had no other choice while the former teacher had quit after a lot of arguments. They asked me to take the position and I agreed. The pupils are in intermediate level. What do you think about this?

Please correct my entry. Thank you!

I'm an English teacher, in my hometown, trying to improve my English skills particularly in conversational English. Honestly, I got the job because I had connections, I shouldn't be there as a teacher, but I'm not feeling guilty because I'm eager and confident that I can do it at this stage. Besides, I'm currently an English translation student in university. On the other hand, the institute, which I work at, had no other choice after the former teacher had quit.
