Retiring from my old teaching job to teach English online

Weekly Topic: Reward yourself for a year of learning & teaching!

Therese DB

I have been teaching for 43 years and I have recently retired from my full-time job. I have taught English as a Home Language and also as a Second language in the past.

I am looking forward to determining my own hours, but I will not give up teaching entirely as I am excited to start online teaching on CafeTalk.  

How will I reward myself for this year of teaching? I have received a new sewing machine as a retirement gift from my husband, so I will be using it very much. I will also be watching my favourite Japanese and Korean dramas on television.
