The teacher I met in online lessons
Hi guys,I have been taking online lessons from teachers of the Filippines for some time. I take it regularly and so it means we talk with each other quite a lot about our own common interests regularly. And we share some information about our own.Did you know that there are so many nurses who become English online teachers not working as nurse? In my online English school there are so many nurses who haven't worked in hospital. They say there are lots of nursing colleges there but that there are few hospitals for them as well. Even if there are hospital to work at, salary is very very cheap, they said.The salary of nurse I heard from them is much much cheaper than that of the online English teacher there..Some teachers there want or wanted to work abroad, I heard.And some applied or are applying to do that..But it seems very difficult for them, though their English is ok for them. I suppose that they speak and read English well enough to get a high score of IELTS easily and they also say they could. They have been taught any subjects in English since elememtary schools, except their native language like Tagalog, I've heard.One of them said, a medical person was in demand but now it's getting a little different. She has got an excellent score of IELTS, planed and applied Visa ( I don't know the details.. though) of New Zealand in order to live and work as nurse there, but the score just expired, she said. Because she doesn't have enough money to fulfill it and she has become a breadwinner for some reasons as well.She said, she is still young and might try another chance in future when it's ok but doesn't know if oversea nurses will be in demand at that time.And she also said, applying it in Australia is very very expensive (more expensive than in New Zealand according to her) so it's impossible for her.I found that so many people from various countries have desire of working abroad, especially people from so called developing countries.I sometimes think that Japan will be in the same situation in near future.Thinking of that, I might have many good rivals and fellows around me even now. Thought like this encourages me to keep studying...Then..have a nice Sunday at your place!
