I'm an English professor for international business and communication schools in France.

I really do like my job. I've been a teacher since 2006.

I'm not sure I have any super interesting stories to tell. More the experience as a whole. Meeting and working with over 200 students every year is awesome.

Only thing I would complain about is their level. Not just in my class, either. The quality of work has been steadily declining over the years and now the cheating with ChatGPT has taken things to a new level. Example, an international student who speaks neither English nor French, cannot recite the alphabet or count to 20 in English, but submits a flawless written report. Curious, no?
