Do I leave or do I keep going?

[ThatSharpRobin]

Hi All,
I’m a secondary school teacher who’s just had bad luck! My training had been difficult due to a mentor who didn’t really want to mentor and my first job wasn’t much smoother. I’ve done nothing but my best to thrive, work hard and be the best damm teacher however, I feel at a lost as if I won’t find anywhere that will give me a positive experience. I left my job because my mental health just couldn’t anymore and I have taken time out and done my best to keep myself up to date but I just don’t seem to be landing any jobs. I get interviews but end up being unsuccessful. I do feel that I don’t have what some schools may be looking for but now I’m just feeling like a failure and want to run away. I’m a creative person and I am trained in English but I just feel that I’m going to be stuck jobless and wondering if I should just leave.

any advice?

I apologise for the extensive expression, I’m fed up of feeling like my past experience throw a shadow on me and just want the chance to show what I can do (I’ve had positive observations and feedback) l

Yes @Jeteasy

With the best will in the world, it doesn't sound like teaching is really for you.

What makes you say that @ClawedButler

I’m aware that it might not be written in the best way.

I have worked really hard to become a teacher and don’t want to move away from the profession.

As we all know, some schools aren’t great

What is it specifically that you have found difficult or a drain on your mental health? Can you give some details on the difficulties and then it might be easier for people to advise.

can you ease back into education (group tutoring) then work your way into a smaller school or adult education for those adults with esl?
teaching adults can be really rewarding.
