Too Many Online Courses, Which Should I Take? - Page 2 - ESL Teaching

For new teachers, I can't stress enough that a TESL course is the way to go. Heading into a class with no experience or tips is very stressful.

When I first started teaching, I had no experience whatsover. The experience was very stressful. When I first started, there really was no internet, so I couldn't get timely advice or help that is around nowadays. New teachers have it so much easier than how things were 10 years ago.

For a few hundred dollars, it's money well spent on a TESL course.

Thanks to everyone for your advice!
In reply to Hypiereon, I am taking the course to better my chances of finding a job, but since I have absolutely no experience in teaching english, it is also for myself. There is nothing worse than finding yourself in a situation where you don't know what you are doing, so I'd like to get a solid understanding of the basics before I start.
