Being an English teacher

I have always looked for a teaching position at any schools. I am not picky in choosing which school teacher; I don't mind about salary whether it is low or high. What I want is just experience in teaching English, as I am going to have a teaching practicum for my year 4. 

Recently, I have got what I had wanted - being a teacher. I am assigned to teach a Pre-Intermediate class which has 4 students. However, on the first day there were only 2 students was present. The next day, the unthinkable happened. My 2 students ran away from my class and join a Grammar class (I suspect that they doubt in  my ability to teach and my depth of English, since I look really young), therefore, I have no Pre-Intermediate students to teach. Fortunately, an Elementary class teacher would be absent for about a month because he has measles. So I get another chance to teach an Elementary class. My Elementary students could not speak English well enough. They have forgot what they had learned. I have tried my best to guide and teach them. I strongly believe that my students are not stupid. They are just a little bit lazy. If I can point out the motives for them to study hard, encourage them and inspire them, they will work their best to produce a satisfactory result. 

Things do not always go smoothly. I have no motorbike to ride to school, so I drive my car. I afraid that my car may fall prey to thief or there would be some damage done to my car. I do not want my car to have a scratch or any damage, which make me feel so insecure. I am trying to find other ways of transporting me to the school.

 

Another problem is that since my students are good at English, I cannot speak English to them so most of the time (90%) I have to speak in Khmer. I want to improve my Speaking skill, but I don't think that by speaking Khmer all the time, my Speaking ability would be improve.

What I am thinking right now is finding a school near to my house or other well-known schools, because I don't really want to teach 4 or 5 students. Newton Thilay, Sovannphumi and Hello are my target schools, because these schools really care about their teacher. These school would provide training, test to improve teachers' knowledge and teaching ability.

These problems really frustrate me. However, I would not consent my frustration to affect my teaching toward my students. I have already tried my best to guide them to become a better students and this would not be the end of journey just yet.
