Hey guys! The name is Jackie, I am an English teacher here on iTalki and have been a loyal teacher since 2017!
I genuinely love helping others and enjoy creating a safe environment for others to learn English.
It is not always easy to be a teacher, here are some of the things you learn on the journey:
- you become a friend to your students
- a counselor because many are overcoming fears, they have had for years possibly.
- a cheerleader, cheering them on their milestones and accomplishments
The list can go on...
If you are a student, give yourself some grace and remember you are courageous for taking this journey. It is a road still uncharted. Take the road less traveled on. I am here for you.
This is a call to action... if you are a teacher here, you are my superheroes. It is a work that is so underappreciated and undervalued and you stay in it because you love what you do! I felt really tired a discouraged today but if you have ever felt like this. Please write on this post. Share your thoughts. It helps :-)
