Reviews of BSEd in English graduates:

N. B.

◈ Studied B.S. Education – Major in English
◈ At University of Southeastern Philippines
◈ Graduated 2011

Why did I choose BSEd in English: I wanted to be a teacher because a full-time teacher in the government gets a high salary and it is a stable job until retirement.

About my college education: With due diligence and determination I graduated my course without so much difficulty.

I learned how to make the teaching easier for the students to learn easier and faster.

The subjects were difficult because as future teachers we have to know the subjects well in order to be able to teach them to the students.

Persistency and hard work are the keys to succeeding in this course.

My current job: I am now working In a call center in Davao City. It is difficult to find work as a teacher nowadays.

How long did it take to find a job: Immediately after graduation I applied and was hired as a tutor in English by a family to teach their son in elementary.

Do I recommend studying BSEd in English: In terms of salaries and employment potential, the Philippine government pays a starting salary of about P15,000 and this is increased through the years. The retirement pay is assured and the retired teacher can even start a business of his own.
