Managing kids in a classroom can be a difficult task for many teachers. In many cases, one must establish himself/herself as a facilitator without losing composure. But what if you end up working with differently-abled children (students of determination)? How would you be able to assist these kids?

In this episode, I sit down with Joahnna Oligo, an experienced teacher-assistant. We talked about how she found herself assisting students of determination in Dubai. While talking about her journey as a teacher, she also shared some tips on how to capture student's attention, setting expectations when going to another country, and some reasons why teaching can be fulfilling.

Istorya missed an episode today! Oh no! 😱😱

Yes, I admit. I had my shortcomings this time. But I also mentioned I'm doing this podcast in a slower pace. 😅

Here's what happened.

First, I began accepting Japanese clients for teaching English. Yay! 🥳

But this means I'm a little more busier now.

Two, I have no guests this time. Turns out finding a resource person in a specific industry is much more difficult compared than my last year's journey, where I usually pick up people from all walks of life without sorting them out.

And that's it. Hope you forgive me today. I'll make it up to you in no time.

07/07/2021

Wow! Can you imagine? 🤩🤩🤩

We just reached 1000 plays a week ago! Hooray! 🥳 🥳 🥳

I want to thank you for supporting Istorya for over a year. It's such a difficult journey, and I don't think I'd be able to last this long without you.

Hi Facebook!

After a long hiatus, Istorya Podcast is finally going back to celebrate its first year. Along with the launching of new episodes, I have decided to make segments that will help my future listeners identify what they want to listen.

And so I am working on the first one named as English as a Second Language Teaching (ESL Teaching) in Focus. I chose this industry because this is where I'm currently working and I want to share not only my personal experience, but also what is happening inside the industry. This will also help young professionals discern if ESL Teaching is a path they can consider.

Looking forward to airing the first episode with you!

Cheers!

Hi everyone! 🖐🖐🖐🖐
First of all, I would like to apologize for not updating you here. Things have been on a roller coaster and I wasn't able to keep up.
I'm still busy on my personal studies, but I am happy to announce that Istorya will be coming back this month, on its second year. No definite date yet, but I'm assuming that it'll be airing on a Saturday at my own pace.
(Trivia: Istorya launched its first episode last June 27, 2020.)
COVID scenario is no joke. You'll cry thrice if you're not prepared. But don't worry, I feel a little better now. Thank you for all the people who have been very thoughtful during my family's tough moments. I appreciate all the mental, and emotional support.

I am announcing the temporary hiatus of the podcast.

Life has been extremely hard for us lately. We had our grandmother rushed to the hospital due to breathing problems. It was challenging for her even with an oxygen aid.

That being said, the doctor did some tests for her and found out that she is CoVID-19 positive. And right now, we just finished preparing for a lockdown in the area and now under home quarantine. It is a perfect time to step back, re-evaluate, and focus on what matters to me the most.

I will be back. I don't know when. Probably in the next week or two, or maybe a month. But one thing for sure is that I'm coming back better and more motivated than ever.

P.S. Episode 45 will still be released later today. I hope you enjoy it.
