    Thanks a lot, @Oli. :) It means a lot. In the end I got the sack, so it’s back to the old job hunt, I guess. For now my private lessons should suffice, at least for the time being. How are you doing, @Oli?

    I am afraid to go to work tomorrow. I started a course on Thursday this week. And as long as I remember, at every new place I’ve had terrible panic attacks. I use calming techniques and even bring some herb based calming pills with me but they all stop working at some point. And it’s overwhelming .

    • I would try to find other ways to relax, calm and put your mind at ease @gleb, take deep breathes, listen to calm sounds or music, meditate and use mindfulness, try to stay focused on all the positives of being on the course and starting a new job Gleb, remember to always believe in yourself and know you will achieve all your goals, dreams and…[Read more]

    I’m invited to an interview in another city for the role of chief operations manager (COM). The company deals with organizing excursions and trips to children on the spectrum and their parents on the weekends.

    • I would talk to the company boss or whoever will be interviewing you @gleb, let them know that you don’t feel comfortable with certain aspects of the job and see if they can accommodate or make changes to the role, I’m sure no matter what happens, you will find a job that suits you, that benefits you and brings you a sense of purpose and…[Read more]

    Guys, I need your opinion. I teach a 12 year old English on Fridays (her native language is Hebrew). And her parents tell me she has high grades. Higher than before.
    Now as a small prize, I want to show her Lord of the Rings – the Fellowship of the Ring in English, with subtitles. Is the film suitable for 12 year olds?

    • @gleb yeah it is. I would consider it a family movie really. Overal is a fantasy movie
      And is always a fun way to learn english! Good choise :)

    • @marikofujimoto thanks :) it does involve the deaths of Gandalf and Boromir so I don’t want to traumatize her.

    • That’s so wonderful @gleb, I’m sure you will be a wonderful teacher Gleb, do show her the Lord of the Rings or any other family friendly film, hope things go well Gleb, keep smiling and stay awesome, inbox me anytime if you want to chat or vent, stay strong, you are never alone :) (hugs)

    I agreed with my ex boss to talk with him this Thursday but after a huge panic attack I called him today. He told me to wait until Thursday and then talk. And with my share of fortune, I’m 60% certain he only pulls the time so he can tell me at the last moment he doesn’t have a place for me. He doesn’t even pay me. -_- It’s a voluntary work.
