- Hi, everyone, ciao.
My name is Jen Bunce and I am an alumni
from the International TEFL Academy
and today's my day to their Instagram takeover.
Thanks to them, I am TEFL and TESL certified
to teach English as a second language
and I did their online course and now I'm here
in Maglie, Italy, a small town or village
in the province of Puglia.
I'm way far down the boot in the south.
I'm right across the way from Greece actually
and I've been living out here for two months
and I got a teaching job to work at a British school
that's more affiliated with Cambridge Exams,
but thanks to my certificate,
I'm able to teach teenagers up here.
So I help teenagers with their English
and help them pass the Cambridge exams
so they can go to a great university up north
like in Roma or Firenze or Milano.
And it feels really great to help people around the world
and give back since I do love to travel.
And that was something I wanted to get involved with
was being able to support myself while traveling,
but also finding a way to give back
to people and the world.
And I'm very lucky too because here in Italy,
it's a small town.
It's not a popular place for tourists to visit.
So the cost of living is very low.
And I do get paid very well.
I also have a car so I'm currently learning how
to drive manual or stick shift.
So that's been interesting.
And yeah, today right now is normal day for me.
I will show you videos of my flat,
give you kind of details of my salary
and how much my rent is, and you'll get to follow me
on a typical day here in Maglie, Italy
and I, Maglie, Italy and I, hopefully this will inspire you
and others like yourself to follow your dreams
and get your certificate and get out there
and teach English and kind
of help others improve their English language
so they can have a better life for themselves too.
So it does feel good to help people.
And International TEFL Academy is amazing.
They have made this experience for me very easy
and informative and without them, I wouldn't be here.
So I'm happy to help and happy to promote them
and I'm happy to be here with you guys right now.
I'll give you some e-mail, or I'm sorry,
I'll give you some information about my e-mail
or other ways to contact me.
I'm going to be a little busy today making videos
and photos for you, but you're more than welcome
to e-mail me, send me an Instagram message
of any questions that you have and I'm happy to help.
So thanks for checking me out
and I hope you enjoy my story.
