I was doing a lot of teaching for one particular project and getting a lot of work, which was great, but not brilliantly well paid. And it was quite a marathon from sort of November to June of teaching over about 300 hours in 10 different schools. I love teaching, but it was quite exhausting.
And I got to the end of two years of doing that, and was really starting to think, you know, This isn’t sustainable. Um, and I’d done a few training courses over the years in CLIL, and I did one which went particularly well. I thought, gosh, I just need to be doing more of this. This is much more sustainable. This is what I really enjoy. But I wasn’t really sure how to make that happen.
I think my big hesitation about joining the course was the financial investment. I absolutely knew that Rachael was going to be able to help me, but I was thinking, oh, maybe I can just watch lots of YouTube videos and do it myself, um, rather than spending that money, because yeah, it did feel like quite a big chunk of my earnings at that time.
But I think it would have been a very long and painful process on my own, much less supportive, much less enjoyable. Um, and that money and that investment has got me to a place that I wouldn’t have been at without it.
This year, my projected income is 25 percent more than, , than it would have been last year. So I’m already making that money back. And I’m really glad I made the investment.
