Teaching Kids I'm currently studying architecture, but English is something that I've always liked, so, I started to study English by myself since I was a child. It was not until about 1 year ago, that I started to study English formally in an institute. Before that, I already was able to keep up conversations with people, they were able to understand me, and my pronunciation sounded well. However, I had never thought of teaching someone, just because that's not my first language, and there are much many people who speaks English better than me. One month ago, my cousin called me to ask me if I was interested in a job. I was like: a job? What about? Then, he explained to me that his boss needs people who speaks English well, in order to teach kids. The interview consisted of two parts. The first one was about a grammar test, and the second one an oral interview. I did both and, I got a high score. The boss asked me if I could prepare​ a class about the Verb to be and the Personal Pronouns. Then, she told me that I had a solid knowledge about these themes (Who doesn't? I think that is the beggining for everyone), However, I needed to involve kids in class, make the classes funnier for the kids, because they tend to be distracted, and I, as a teacher need to keep their attention. I helped to my cousin with his class, so I met some kids and I admit that it sometimes was a little hard to make them pay attention to me. Thanks God, they asked me if I'm coming the next class because they liked me. Just at that moment, I realised that, in spite of my nervousness, I had done something well, and sharing my knowledge of something can make me feel really good with myself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading me.

Alberto, I basically agree with the corrections Laura has made above. Here are just a few more (from the first paragraph only):

*English is something that I've always liked, so, I started to study English by myself when I was a child.
->English is something that I've always liked, so I started to study English by myself when I was a child. (no comma)

* It was not until about 1 year ago, that I started to study English~
->It was not until about 1 year ago that I started to study English~

*there are many people who speak English better than me
->
there are many people who speak English better than I do

*One month ago, my cousin called me to ask me if I was interested in a job.
->
A month ago, my cousin called me to ask (me) if I was interested in a job. (more natural)

*I was like: a job? What about?
->I was like, "A job? What about?" (with correct punctuation)
->Or: "A job?" I asked. "What kind of job?" (+more natural)

Good work! And good luck with the job! :)

It was not until about 1 year ago, that I started to study English formally in an institute. Before that, I already was able to keep up conversations with people, they were able to understand me, and my pronunciation was good sounded well. However, I had never thought of teaching someone, just because that's not my first language, and there are much many people who speaks English better than me. One month ago, my cousin called me to ask me if I was interested in a job. I was like: a job? What about?
Then, he explained to me that his boss neededs people who speaks spoke English well, in order to teach kids. The interview consisted of two parts. The first one was about a grammar test, and the second one an oral interview. I did both and, I got a high score.

The boss asked me if I could prepare​ a class about the verb "to be" and the personal pronouns. Then, she told me that I had a solid knowledge about these themes (Who doesn't?
