How to Become a Teacher in the U.S. 🍎 | Taking the Praxis Test + Kitchen Mural 🎨
In this video, I share my journey of preparing for and taking the Praxis exam, one of the key requirements for becoming a teacher in American schools. Besides strong English skills, there are several other components needed to start teaching in the U.S. — and I talk about them in detail. Along the way, you’ll also see a very different kind of project: I’ve started painting a kitchen mural inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
