Like a proud teacher

One of my students, Yasuki, made it on his TOEFL test! It’s been a long, arduous journey tackling sample questions and marking his essays. He got a score high enough to qualify for an MBA school application in the US. I was so happy for him and I guess I helped in some way. I always fretted that being an untrained teacher, I didn’t know shite about pulling a student through official English proficiency tests.

This is so totally what I need right now to keep going on the teaching front. I never believed that I would hit a wall because my experiences with teaching conversation has been good for the past six months. But now, I do face some frustrations and I get tired more easily than before. Sometimes I would wonder if my students are improving at all or that I am just collecting easy money where it feels like a complete farce.

It’s nice to know I can help and will just bask in this one for a bit.
