Let’s be real: preparing for the oposiciones de inglés can feel like trying to climb Everest with a backpack full of grammar books and existential dread. You question your life choices. You panic-Google “how to become a yoga instructor instead.” You wonder if maybe teaching isn’t your thing after all.

And yet... here you are. Still showing up. Still studying. Still trying. That matters more than you think.

Most people think success happens after you pass. But the truth? Real growth happens when no one’s watching. It happens when you study after a long day, when you rewrite your lesson plan for the fifth time, or when you fail a mock exam and decide not to quit.

That’s not failure. That’s training.

Passing the exam is the goal. Becoming someone who doesn't give up is the win.

So stop waiting to feel “ready.” You’re already becoming the teacher we need.
