First of all, i apologise in advance if this threads might be visible elsewhere, but i waited for 2 weeks in hope for some answer, but i got the worst possible outcome: this site has lost this topic in some way, so i'm re-posting it here again, in hope that this time everything goes well. I lost my original request, so i may not be able to explain the whole thing again, and it may sound not related to an english discussion, but i really need this request to be heard, so please bear it with me.
Greetings. I'm a high-school ex-student who's trying to learn how to properly and professionally teach the english language. I'm here because the place (and the country as well) where i live is not giving me any specific answer about the private teaching stuff. I'm asking it because from the time i tried to finish school (tried because i'm still at the final year, or some of you call it the senior year, if i'm correct), i was looking for any job who could help me to build my future. Unfortunately any of my past plans didn't work out at all. and now i'm at a point where if i don't do something, i risk to become homeless, and that's not a statement, it's the truth of my current situation. I tried to take some course who could help with the jobs, i tried to get my high-school graduation and i tried to ask infos about going out of my country; in the end, none of those things worked. I fell in an incredible depression for some year. now i feel that i've overcome it all alone and i don't want to fall for it again and i think that teaching english is my final chance if i want at least to "get a life". i'm gathering all the books, pictures, exercises and any other english stuff before getting started. but as i was saying before, the place where i live is not helping me at all (as usual, i'll explain why in a moment), so i'm here to ask a Request Tips to any single experienced english teacher who can help me in this.
My request is: Can someone tell how a fresh teacher can properly teach the english language to anyone who wants to learn?
(I want to clarify that i want to teach as a private teacher, but not in private schools, which everyone seems to misunderstand me, but when i say "private", i mean "at home", doesn't matter if some student goes in my home or viceversa, i just want to teach and help some people and earn some money, badly...)
Now, for you who may not have realized yet, my username for this website is Dyslexiaman, and that's no joke. i really am Dyslexic and a severe one too. The reasons behind my extreme difficulties in real life are absurd, and any time i try to ask for some help, my country is definitely not the right place. what's worse, i got countless problems during job interviews, so now i'm trying to fix myself with the english (which somehow the english grammar has made me a native english person, since a good amount of people who doesn't live, or who's not born, in my country, told me that i got an universal accent. i'm still asking to myself if it's a good thing or not) and i'm hoping to find a special dyslexic title where it SHOULD (hopefully...) give me special law rules and special help because my life is bad already as it is right now. Anyway, i got the Dyslalia and the Dyspraxia (both physical and linguistic/lingual), which both combined is causing me extreme social issues and it happens that i hurt myself while i do things like simple cleaning the house and such because i'm uncoordinated sometimes. luckily i got a few friends who understand me most of the time, but (unfortunately) i also got an endless amount of people who thinks of me as a demential person, and i shouldn't deserve any right. that's a bit extreme, i'm aware of it, but that's how my situation is. Now i hope that the english language may become my saving grace.
In the case this wasn't clear enough, i add that i don't have any support from third parts, like societies/agencies of any kind (especially one which has only stole money, and i gained nothing in the end...) and any group related to the Dyslexia. The only one who's doing this for me is my mother and no one else; but right now we're in a difficult situation and if only i wasn't in this mess, i'm sure i could do more than this, but since that i'm writing down this topic to all of you, you must have now fully understand that this is a real request.
Long story short, i'll ask my request again: how can i properly teach the english language as a private teacher and at home? i got this extra infos if needed:
- I'm level B2-> C1, which i could easily get the C1 in no time, but money's lacking. Also a lot of foreign people told me i can easily do that, so i take those as good feedbacks.
- I'm researching for some place where my Dyslexia can be put to the test, i'm sure that my case can be of some help, and i also need special titles because without them, my life is basically done for.
- I don't have the high-school graduation title, the teachers who "worked" for me simply ruined my life. they had no idea what Dyslexia was, so they tried to make me lose some school year. i lost 4 because of them during my high-school life. and i'm still at the final year, the fifth. Don't ask me to try again because i started to be depressed after my fourth and last time.
I'll be waiting for your answers, i'm busy for some hour now doing some important stuff (i believe that it won't work today, but i'm trying for like, 12 years now...and that says it a lot of my patience). I hope to find answers from experienced english teachers, especially from who fight against the dyslexia (definitely i need someone who has experience with it, all the people i met in my country were all talk and no facts) because my case HAS to be considered it as a major one, but since my country doesn't care at all, i'm hoping from who lives in Europe, America and especially Canada. Please, this is very important for me, my time (it's not about my life, luckily i'm healthy) is running out, i don't want to become a nobody.
Have a nice day,
Dyslexiaman
