I am brand new to teaching and kids for that matter... can I do this? 3 Weeks, 4 Days ago

I have been accepted by Footprints.
I have a job lined up, visa and plane ticket.
I am leaving next week.

I am freaking out.

I have no idea how to teach... what they heck am I supposed to do!!! In my interview the guy I talked to, can't remember his name, said that it was easy but that it would take me about 3 months to find my form as a teacher. THATS A LONG TIME. WHAT DO I DO TO SPEED THIS LEARNING PROCESS UP. How can I prepare? What should I do?

I have read the Footprints website for New Teachers... there is some great advice in there. I just wanted to hear from someone who is doing it. My placement coordinator Laina has been totally cool and has me stoked about heading out.

I am just tweaking a bit here as the anxiety builds to get out there. Anyone know what I am going through?

My year in Korea went off without a hitch…until…sigh, the end of my contract and my last paycheck. My director tried to scam me out of about 700 USD. I contacted Footprints and they stepped in and took action against my employer. Footprints has your back during the placement and throughout your contract. Make sure you cover your butt, go with a great recruiter.”
