One year with AEON goes fast. When you arrive at your school, you will meet the staff as well as the hundreds of students who have been eagerly awaiting your arrival. It will take a while for you to learn their names, but eventually you will recognize everyone who comes through the door. Teaching does not come quickly to everyone. In your first few weeks, do not be surprised if preparation takes a bit more time than you expected and lessons do not go as smoothly as you had hoped. However, with your knowledge from Training and with the support of your coworkers, you will find that by the time you attend Follow Up Training, your confidence has improved immensely. At this point, you can focus your attention on fine tuning your teaching, taking good care of your students, and making your school a great place for everyone to be.
