I never wanted to be a teacher, so I went on to study Economics. Fortunately, some friends needed help with their English, and asked me to teach them. I did it as a favour but then their friends also wanted classes, and by the time I graduated I had lots of students and I just loved being a teacher. That's when I decided to give up my "unstarted" career as an economist and become a full-time English teacher. I went back to university to study "Letras" (Portuguese, English and Literature), and I've already started a Master Programme in ESL.
But what about you? How did you start teaching English? How do you think your experience has effected the teacher you are now? We're looking forward to hearing your story!!!
