WELCOME

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I've been an ESL teacher for three years now and doesn't the time fly! This year I have decided to keep a blog starting from now (the beginning) of the holidays until the end of the next school year. (2008/09)

This will be my second year teaching in a primary school in Hungary, previously I was teaching at a bi-lingual school which was much easier, now I have more of a challenge because the school has a 70% rate of Roma (Gypsy) students, most of whom come from under-privileged families and get no support with learning at home. More about them later.

You are probably asking the question that EVERYBODY asks me..."why did you change schools?", well I was fed up of commuting for more than an hour each day, that's it This job presented itself to me and I took it.

It's not all bad at all, I enjoy the challenge and my colleagues are wonderful, but only 1-2 speak English so this past year has been a very, very intensive Hungarian lesson for me!

I hope you will will follow my story and learn form my advice and from my mistakes!

Also feel fee to post comments.
