" Hi all,
I am new to this forum, so any information/advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.
I was born in Hong Kong but moved to Ireland when I was ten (I am now in my 30
's). I
had gotten got both my BSc (Maths) and MSc (Computing) in Ireland (
for some reason we were taught that using the words 'had gotten' as a past tense of get is incorrect- can't remember why- apparently it's still used in the US though). I was then offered a teaching position (post-grad students) in the university. I had to resign after 18 months due to
a family matter. Having been in the restaurant business for the last five years, I decided enough is enough.
I am now
currently (
redundancy - you can say 'now' or 'currently' but using both is not correct)) in Hong Kong. My plan is to do an online TEFL course to brush up on my grammar
s and then hopefully find a part-time job teaching English to Kindergarten
ers students , whilst doing the Trinity CertTESOL course part-time. My goal is to teach English in a Language Learning Centre. I know I have the disadvantage of not being caucasian
, but I speak fluent English and Cantonese,
and am also proficient in reading and writing Chinese. Is the "right" way to go about this or am I completely off track?
Any advice is appreciated."
