Hello Exam Seekers,
It’s been a long while since I don’t show up here, right? Well, as many of you know, life is full of agitation, especially for an English teacher; therefore, many things have happened, and I had to choose what to prioritize.
Since 2022, I’ve been teaching in a new school in the big city of São Paulo, Brazil. I had to make lots of changes: rent an apartment, buy furniture and appliances, get a grip on how the school worked (plus, preparing classes, correcting tests, etc), and other personal life tasks. So life hasn’t been easy on me.
All of this made me quite upset because many of you – who have been following me for a while – know how much I love teaching, giving information, and helping.
Every now and then, I check the status, and I am glad people still look for my content, this means that it is still relevant and it is still helpful. This is actually the petrol that keeps my will going. I have students asking me “When will you go back to posting?” or “Do you still post content on YouTube?“. So here I am trying to come back!

Hello Exam Seekers,
As I’ve mentioned a while ago, I’ve been pretty busy lately. I’ve been working a lot… you know, a #teacherslife: prepare lessons, teach lessons, correct lessons, I mean, homework and tests, and etc.
Also, I’ve been editing the videos for Exam Seekers Youtube Channel – not only editing, but also preparing content, adapting it to scripts, recording, and editing. It is all demanding… I am glad about the results I’ve been having. So if you want to check out the results.... listen to the podcast!

Hello Exam Seekers,
Have you ever found yourself saying that you plan on taking the CPE test or the CELTA exam? It feels weird right? Is this how we should call them? I mean, do you know the difference between Exams and Tests?
I’ve seen so many people looking for certification, but not really knowing which one to take or study because they don’t know their meaning. So, today, I’m going to clarify the differences between Exams, Tests, Courses and Certificates for you to understand what you are getting into.

Hello Exam Seekers,
Today I'm talking about Handouts! Why am I talking about handouts? Because there are many CELTees who don’t really know how to prepare a proper handout; and when it comes to delivering their lesson, they usually lose points for the handouts. So how should you prepare and how shouldn’t you prepare your handout?
