Hi-I just graduated from my Masters program in TESOL and I am currently seeking employment in San Francisco. Last semester I was a student teacher who worked closely with an experienced Master teacher in an ESL writing and grammar class, however I haven't had a class of my own yet. I have already turned down two very short term jobs because my FEAR of teaching has overtaken me. I know once I start and gain experience, my fear will diminish. I was wondering if any of you have had experience with this situation. I welcome your feedback about how to overcome fear, how to approach the job market, and anything else you would like to share relating to this matter.

Thank you!
