Voices From Our Exchange Community
ITES and the school I am working at have both become a wonderful, new warm family that has supported me 100% through this new experience, which has strengthened my socio-cultural skills, not only as a teacher, but also as a human being.
We must improve language learning and international education at all levels if our nation is to continue to lead in the global economy.
Teaching in America with ITES has been a deeply rewarding chapter of my career. From day one, the local community welcomed me with open arms and genuine kindness, making me feel right at home. I am especially grateful for my principal, whose incredible support and guidance have been instrumental in my journey. This experience has allowed me to grow immensely as a professional, and I am proud to contribute to such a vibrant and encouraging educational environment.
