Teacher Talk: My Teaching Life during Covid19 Pandemic

I was sad and I don’t know what to do because I spent a lot of my time, effort, and money just to get this dream job. I still continue to become positive and hopeful that everything happens for a reason and maybe it was a way that I should be safer in my country during this situation.

Before this dream job, I already had teaching experience as an online English Teacher in a Japanese company. So, I decided to move on, and apply for any home-based teaching job. Luckily, I was hired by a Japanese ESL company and it has the same approach as my previous job.

I have never thought of working at home and becoming a freelancer but this was a life-changing and the most exciting job I have ever had since I am the boss on my own and I can open classes any time I want.

I was able to build my own setup as months goes by and I am so happy because I have never done this when I was working in an office-based school.

I was very motivated to work and open many classes at that time that I only slept for two hours and I didn't have a rest day because it was difficult to go out and my mind was like “I rather earn on my rest day than spend much money for anything” but I was burned out and didn’t open classes because I feel like I am doing the same thing and there is no growth.
