My Experiences when Working at an English Course in 2022

 I would like to share my experiences when I was trainee at an English course. This story has served a learning experience and it has helped me to improve my skills. However, I will not return to teach at an English course, although, I still need a comfortable office for working in the future. 

I applied for a job at my English course in August 2022. I then had an interview and met with my division head at the time. After that, I attended a two-week training. On the first day of training, I shook hands with the students and then I saw the students studying with the English teacher from nine o'clock that morning to six o'clock that evening. After observing the teaching and learning activities at the English course, I returned home at six that evening. Then, I had to observe the teaching and learning activities and accompany the English teacher at work from morning until evening. However, on the third day of training, my supervisor came and forbade me from using gadgets during training at the English course. Then my supervisor scolded me for wearing a black shirt and a black hijab on the third day of training. In fact, my supervisor forced me to study and memorize customer service training quickly at that time.  

Finally, I was very stressed during the training there. Then my supervisor forced me to delete my Instagram posts because my posts on Instagram had disrupted their performance at that time. After that, my supervisor forced me not to write and bring a journal to the English course. How cruel my supervisor's attitude was! I was very demotivated and I applied for jobs elsewhere online at that time. 

Because my supervisor was so cruel, I couldn't physically and mentally handle it. then I took sick leave and rested at home. Finally, I decided to resign and not continue training in the English course at that time. Apparently, working in an English course is not easy and working there requires both mental and physical preparation. My supervisor there was very strict, which easily demotivated me while I was a trainee. Maybe my supervisor is still working there now, so it was easy for me to find work at another school to continue being a teacher at that time. 

Working at my English course was very multitasking, and it was incredibly challenging. I was traumatized by working with a cruel supervisor, so I resigned, and I was motivated to open a private English class.
