You packed your bags, landed in a new country, and walked into a classroom thinking — I know how to do this. But then something small happens. The way you address a student that always worked... doesn't land the same way here. The dynamic you're used to feels off. And suddenly you're not just navigating a new city, a new grocery store, a new timezone — you're navigating a completely different idea of what a teacher is supposed to be. This episode is about that quiet, unsettling question that every international teacher eventually asks themselves: Am I actually a good teacher — or was I only good in the context I knew?
