Teach English Abroad with TEFL Careers

Hello! My name is Brooke Pasmore. I am 23 years old. I am from the United States of America. I live in Florida! Before coming to Spain, I was going through a difficult time. However, with the support and encouragement of my family, especially my dad, I was able to push through and complete the TEFL course.

Shortly after this accomplishment, I received an email inviting me to volunteer in Spain. To say that I was ecstatic would be an understatement. Teaching English as a foreign language in Spain had always been a dream of mine.

From the moment I arrived in Spain, I felt welcomed and supported. My host family embraced me as their own, introducing me to their culture and way of life. My tutor guided me through the challenges of teaching English to non-native speakers, helping me develop my skills and confidence.

But the most rewarding part of this experience has been the connections I have made with my students. Watching them learn and grow, seeing the progress they have made, has been truly fulfilling. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn have inspired me in ways I never thought possible.

I want to thank Simon Jones, the founder of Educados International, for giving me this opportunity. He not only helped me fulfill a lifelong dream but has also shown me the power of perseverance and resilience. I will carry the memories and lessons learned during my time in Spain with me for the rest of my life.

I'm thrilled to share my personal experience with Henri Cilliers, who facilitated my introduction to Chinese agents for an internship program in Sichuan, China. Henri was incredibly supportive throughout my application process and promptly responded to my queries whenever I needed assistance. I'm now living in Dazhou city, Sichuan, a stunning and mountainous city with delicious food and warm people. I'm thoroughly enjoying my teaching experience here and have already decided to extend my contract with the university for another year! I'm forever grateful to Henri for providing me with this opportunity to explore and pursue my passion for English teaching.

I have really enjoyed my time teaching so far. It has been interesting to learn about the local area. The locals are all very friendly. The students are kind, knowledgeable, and understanding. The school staff is very friendly and helpful. I am really happy that I made the decision to come here. Traveling around has been very easy and rewarding. I can understand hesitancy about moving abroad, especially if you are coming from a far away country like I did, but I have really enjoyed my time here and I am happy I chose to take the leap of faith.

Completing the TEFL course and teaching abroad has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. It's equipped me with valuable skills, allowed me to immerse myself in different cultures, and make a meaningful impact on students' lives. Highly recommend for those seeking adventure and personal growth! The food is great and so are all the people. They love to see you come because you are there to help them build a better future for them and/or their children. I got a job after two weeks and an apartment to live in as well. It all went very fast!
