#9 [Interview] Securing international work independently from Pakistan, upskilling, career pivots & the CELTA - with teacher Sabahat Farooq
1️⃣Developing skills and profitable qualifications for international work
💡-how she pivoted into teaching from law to pursue a career that felt more meaningful and fulfilling for her
💡-the qualifications she pursued in order to become a tutor for international students (of course, it's the CELTA!)
💡-how she overcomes any challenges with teaching English when it is not her first language
2️⃣Securing and retaining remote, paid international work
💡-the challenges and details of how she secures payments internationally from Pakistan
💡-how she got her first paying student and secures new ones (without using social media at all)
3️⃣Wellbeing and taking care as a teacher
💡-her philosophy on wellbeing and what she does to keep well amidst her workload (both life and tutoring)
💡-how bearing witness to and resisting the atrocities taking place in occupied Palestine, Lebanon and across the Middle East and Africa has had a bearing on her work and lifestyle choices this year.
Sabahat is someone who is very much walking the talk - quietly building a budding teaching career on her own terms. And I specially wanted to talk to her about these topics because they are so pertinent for teachers who wish to pivot out of full time school teaching and build a career with more flexibility over time, earnings, and energy.
