Bruh I’ve never taught anything, and never had to present to/engage 30-60 people before

I’m way out of my depth with this one

By being English, white, and having a degree, pretty much
In bigger cities they usually require a masters or experience as it’s more competitive, but mine is a tier 4 city

It's actually harder than it seems

I remember when I had to give an English lesson to some kids from elementary school on self-administration day and I felt bad for every who didn't complete the task so I just gave everyone As

How old are you?
17

I didn't get paid for it or anything it was just a school event for one day

But it was genuinely harder than I expected cuz they didn't behave well and I'm not used to screaming at kids or dealing with their bullshit

These are uni students tho so it will be different
My concern is not engaging them/becoming flustered or something lol

Literally just ask Claude or any AI to make you a yearly lesson plan.

Think it was by applying for a position on Echinacities, and a recruiter reached out

do you know chinese? (there are definitely hundreds of guides teaching how to learn any language if u dont)

there are a lot of online resources to teaching english

js searched one up "https://www.internationalteflacademy.com/teach-english-abroad-overseas-foreign-country"

just try and find resources to teach it, maybe try and test it on a student in america first (tutoring a non-english speaker in another subject like math and then trying to turn it into english teaching also, use that experience) idk how old you sre though so this one might be invalid depending on if you are old it might seem weird

i have no experience but if u do agree, js try and do sm of these first or research
