Be sure to read our Interview with intern Lauren teaching English in Rimini, Italy.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us about yourself! We would love to get to know more about your background and what drew you to teaching abroad.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve always been passionate about languages, but it\u2019s thanks to my secondary level Spanish teacher that I realized just how important the role of a teacher is. Even the students whose strengths lay in other areas became passionate about language because of her methods and attitude towards learning. I completely thank (or blame!) her for where I am today, and what I want to achieve as a teacher!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You were on a much different career path. Tell us about your college study experiences and how\/why you made the switch to teaching.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Originally I was studying Spanish, Italian and Latin American studies at NUIG, but I left after one year as it wasn\u2019t what I was looking for. I worked in pharmacies for two years, meeting people of all backgrounds and helping them improve their health. This reassured me that my strengths lie within communication and working with people, but something always pulls me back towards languages! Choosing a TEFL course was a great way for me to see if I enjoy language teaching, and whether or not I could become an effective, teacher without attempting to commit to a 4-year university degree &#8211; again!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/internship\/teach-english-in-italy\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17918\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202804_959-1-767x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Rimini ~Italy\" width=\"681\" height=\"910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202804_959-1-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202804_959-1-600x801.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202804_959-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202804_959-1-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202804_959-1.jpg 1124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us about your TEFL experience. Do you feel that it prepared you to teach in Italy?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without a doubt! The online course meant I could continue to work while earning the qualification. The staff at the TEFL Institute of Ireland constantly check-in and provide you with so much information so I felt as though I had a lot of guidance, even without a classroom. I\u2019ve had the opportunity to apply everything I learned in the course to the classroom &#8211; I cannot recommend it highly enough!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When first moving to Italy, there was a welcome orientation. How do you feel it helped you to get settled into the country?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly it helped me form connections with other teachers and staff throughout the country. It also reassured me that I wasn\u2019t the only person who felt nervous about teaching for the first time. The training, however, reassures you that you can and will do a great job and makes you feel much more confident as a prospective teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/internship\/teach-english-in-italy\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17875 \" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_1919-2-1-1024x1005.jpeg\" alt=\"Interview with Lauren in Italy\" width=\"688\" height=\"676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_1919-2-1-1024x1005.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_1919-2-1-600x589.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_1919-2-1-300x294.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_1919-2-1-768x754.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_1919-2-1.jpeg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us about living in Italy. You were living there as an au pair, what is it like to return?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life here is just beautiful. As an au pair, I stayed in Le Marche with an amazing family who I still visit. I came to Italy at that point for some exposure to the language. So when the <a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/internship\/teach-english-in-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italy Internship<\/a> was announced on TEFL.ie, it was a no brainer! Now I\u2019m based in Rimini &#8211; a busy seaside town full of students and tourists in the Emilia-Romagna region. I couldn\u2019t be happier living la dolce vita!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you done much traveling around since moving there? If so where? If not, are you planning any fun trips?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far I haven\u2019t done much traveling. First I want to focus on really getting my teaching to a very high standard and making friends in my new town. We have made plans to travel, with San Marino, Puglia, and Bologna at the top of our list!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/internship\/teach-english-in-italy\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17916 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202757_869-1-575x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202757_869-1-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202757_869-1-600x1068.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202757_869-1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202757_869-1-768x1367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202757_869-1-863x1536.jpg 863w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_20191015_202757_869-1.jpg 1124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any advice for anyone considering teaching abroad?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do it!
