This past few weeks have turned out to be quite exciting after we have moved to our own place. In less than two weeks that we have moved, I finally got another challenge in store for me. I have the chance to start teaching again!
Almost 6 months since I've stopped preparing for a class and I am now back to it. But of course, my Korean language learning should still be my priority until I have passed a decent TOPIK level test in the near future. As for now, a good place to start is a one-on-one with a friend's son and a more challenging teenager's class who are all non-Koreans but Vietnamese and Chinese. Isn't that a very good challenge?
I have no idea what their levels are in terms of English except that they are also learning Korean like me now. I can only sigh and try to prepare more as I feel my way around in this somewhat different setting. But I like the challenge. I think I am more armed with knowledge and experience in teaching ESL now than before. I just have to review my notes, read a bit more to create my curriculum. What's the use of attending the Curriculum Development class of Ma'am G. if I can't write one now? :D I just love studying specially if you can use what you have learned in real life.
My other possible tutee will be up to my liking in a sense that it is in about the right age that I like to teach. I hope I can make a positive big difference in this kid's life even at his young age.
As for the possible income from these stints, it would be just enough to cover my fare and snack expenses. But it's alright. The Lord knows the proper timing better. I'll take things one at a time. I'll just have to remember to prioritize and still have time to study Korean until I've reached my goal.
Speaking of that goal, I got to go back to CUK now!
