Are teachers teachers?

This is an undeniable truth. I came to TW as a certified and experienced teacher. I’ve seen those with degrees in English, social sciences, hard sciences, humanities, etc. Being a good teacher,. for those folk, came down to passion, preparation, flexibility, and (most importantly) openness to advice and guidance.

At the same time, I’ve seen “certified” and “licensed” teachers hired through the MOE that were rubbish as EFL teachers and had no concepts of EFL. Those still have jobs and still lack sense due to the government’s ridiculous policies.
