Hello,

My name is Nick, and I just graduated from teachers college this summer. Toronto, Canada. 

Due to the timing of my graduation and the low percentage of work opportunities here for new teachers, I've decided to consider teaching overseas.

But, I'm pretty nervous, and yet, excited as well. 

What makes me nervous is that I don't know what to expect in another country and if there will be any support for a new teacher. 

Anyways, those are my thoughts.

Thanks,

Nick

    Do not be afraid to find a mentor (or ten) and get a good handle on classroom management; it is easier to teach when they are listening!
