Ok, so I thought I knew quite a bit about English- signed up to itoi, just had my course emailed to me and now I’m panicking!!!

There are 5 groups of modules and 2 are x20!!!  They want mini essays about what would you do as a teacher if….?
I haven’t taught anything ever! (they say you don’t need experience) I passed a couple of the quizzes so far but they’re (obviously) getting harder!

I have 86 days to do this and my practical isn’t until the 7th & 8th Aug!

I feel like I hardly know anything and don’t want to submit too much incase I learn the proper answers on the practical course! Do you know what I mean?

BUT I don’t want to leave it until after then because that’s less time to do it.

Scared!!!

Companies make money from promoting there courses as easy, there not liable if your not capable, as everyone is different and all levels of education will give different results.

I guess its up to the individual to step back and think before parting with any cash.

After all, if all it took was a bit of work, we could all become top lawyers, pilots, doctors and teachers, reality is though, were not and that is the problem, which is why the profession’s pay a premium wage to those who can, that is another sign.

Add the fact the more you struggle, the more your likely to carry on trying and the more money there gonna squeeze from you.

There is a trick to beat the con, accept your limitations before you part with cash.

If your unsure how to know your limitations a good indicator is your school grades and previous employment, most educated and motivated individuals tend to have high grades and well paid jobs.

You may well have bitten off more than you can chew, after all what you are struggling with should be quite easy.
