(PART1) TOPIC 1: WORK&STUDY
1️⃣ Do you work or are you a student?
I work as an English teacher at a private learning centre, and I’ve been there for about six years now. Over that time, I’ve gained a lot of experience and, honestly, I’ve grown a lot as a person too.
2️⃣ What work do you do?
I teach General English as well as IELTS preparation classes. I enjoy both, but I’d say I’m more interested in teaching IELTS because it involves more strategy and critical thinking, not just explaining grammar rules.
3️⃣ Why did you choose that job?
To be honest, teaching wasn’t my first choice. When I was a child, I actually wanted to become a pilot. However, both of my parents are teachers, and they encouraged me to choose this path. At first, it felt more like a practical decision, but over time I genuinely started enjoying it.
4️⃣ Do you like your job?
Yes, I do. What I love most is seeing my students succeed. When they achieve their target scores or become more confident, it gives me a real sense of satisfaction. I also enjoy meeting different kinds of people every day, which helps me improve my communication skills.
5️⃣ Is there anything you dislike about your job?
Well, like any job, it has its challenges. Sometimes it can be tiring when students don’t understand something even after several explanations. Exam periods can also be stressful because I tend to work extra hours to support them. But overall, I see these difficulties as part of the job.
6️⃣ What was your dream job when you were young?
When I was younger, I wanted to be a pilot. I was fascinated by flying and traveling around the world. I used to watch movies about aviation, and the whole idea of adventure really attracted me.
7️⃣ Have you ever changed your opinion about your dream job?
Yes, I did. As I got older, I realized that becoming a pilot in Uzbekistan would be quite difficult because there aren’t many training opportunities. It’s also a very demanding and high-responsibility job. So eventually, I decided to rethink my plans.
8️⃣ What skills are most important for your job?
I think communication skills are the most important. A teacher needs to explain ideas clearly and adjust explanations depending on the student. A sense of humour also helps a lot because it keeps students engaged. And of course, being punctual and professional is important since teachers are role models.
9️⃣ What is the most challenging part of your daily routine?
For me, the hardest part is maintaining balance. During exam seasons, I often work late preparing materials or helping students, so waking up early the next day can be difficult. Sometimes I feel quite tired, but I try to manage my time better to avoid burnout.
🔟 Where do you see yourself in five years?
In five years, I see myself still teaching IELTS but hopefully at a higher level. At the same time, I’m really interested in travelling, so I’d love to start a YouTube channel about travel. Ideally, I’d like to combine education and travel and create useful content for a wider audience.
