London Green Park

This was the most intense, grueling, and rewarding four weeks of my life. I would recommend this course highly to anyone considering teaching whether or not they want to teach English as a foreign language. I received a grade of "Pass B," although to be honest, I thought I was failing the course mid-way through. My teacher, Jayne Silva, reassured me that I was in no jeopardy of failing, but that is an indication of the rigorous challenge of the course.

In fact, five out of fourteen of us in my class, including myself, were invited to teach for International House, which is quite an honor.
I am preparing to use my qualification to go to Eastern Europe in September, which is when the new contracts start.

I am planning to go to Barcelona or Japan in March, for a short-term contract. I am told that as an American, I am not allowed to work in the EU legally. However, I have an American friend who is teaching in Barcelona and getting paid cash. I know that there are jobs in Italy where they are hiring Americans for Business English, and I would love to go there as well.

Anyway, thank you again for all your help. I would definitely tell other people about Cactus Language and CELTA!
