I teach English for all types of students, from kids to adults. I like the contact you have with people and to help them. You have to study a lot, read a lot of things, be prepare to all kinds of problems. Yes,I am. The only thing that hurt me most is the fact that teachers are badly paid in private schools in Brazil.
