Why I love teaching English I recently started teaching English on iTalki and I am enjoying every minute of it. I never expected to meet so many people from all over the world. My students are always so excited to share their stories and practice speaking English. It doesn't even feel like a job because I learn something new from my students every day. The best part about this job is I am learning about countries and cities that I had never even heard of before. At first, I thought students would prefer American or British tutors. However, it didn't take me long to realise that students are mostly interested in tutors that they enjoy talking to. Having conversations about our shared interests is always a positive experience. It doesn't really matter what country you are from. If you know how to speak English well and engage your students, they are usually very happy and responsive. Most of the time, speaking to a student feels like speaking to a friend. It's incredible to see how many people are interested in learning English. I never realised how valuable it is to know how to speak English fluently until I started this job. Based on the conversations I have had with many of my students, English seems to be incredibly valuable in the work place.
