Hi guys! My name is Jessica and I'm new to the forums. I'm also new to the world of ESL and was thinking of becoming an ESL teacher for Russian foreign exchange students. The only problem is that I don't know how to get started. How did all of you guys get started? Was the process easy or dreadful?

Either way, I really want to teach and I figured this would be the best place to start. Hope to talk to you all soon!

A great place to start is to tutor english privately to get some experience. That link is my website I just created. It's what you should do too.

Next step is to get some certification for teaching to move from private tutor to professional instructor at institutions.

Hope this helps!
