I was preparing for my University education in the UK at York St. John's and I'm really really glad that I watched this video without even missing a second. Thank you very much for the information, it was really very helpful.

What an amazing report! I can yet understand the reasons why you are the kind of good teacher you are. Continue being yourself, keep being happy teaching us, and best wishes, Emma!

i'm very happy you decided to start your channel here on KZread because i love all your videos. you are so lovely to watch and i especially love how you don't pull any punches when you are expressing how you feel about something, i love the raw honesty :-)

Emma, thank you for sharing your experience at universities in the UK. It was quite interesting. In Japan, there are also a lot of arguments on the university ranking. I think most of the indices used for the evaluation rely on the visible outcomes like the number of publications, the scale of budget income, and so on. I personally believe the caring for the students in various senses should be the priority, even it is hard to evaluate by numerical indices. I am glad to hear your honest opinion. It was a really good reminder for me, as a lecturer in a university (I never recommend using Google in my class, though). By the way, your RP videos are quite helpful to set my Japanese-English tongue right. I'll keep watching.

Thanks very much, I feel that we have the same experience with some teachers and classmates. It's very important never give up.

I like your video so much especially your speaking. It's so many helpful and clear that you really motivate me so much. I can't help but appreciate you. You are one the most wonderful person I have ever seen.

You're a great teacher. Go on!

You are hardworking, you deserve the best. I really enjoyed your video. It motivates me to move forward on my studies.

Hello Emma ! Ilisten to you every day since I heard you .Thank you !

I absolutely learned a lot of your life. like your haunted childhood experience, how you become a KZreadr and your universities stories. Thanks so much for sharing Emma. I really enjoyed to heard all about that. Time passed so fast I watch 30 minutes but I feel like just 10 minutes. Because your life experience is absolutely great. Cheers 🍻

Hi Emma, I really appreciate your content! Please keep it up. Thank you.

thanks for sharing your experience, Emma !

Emma, I am so glad that you started your youtube channel because you wouldn't have made this video if you hadn't. It was really great to learn about your university experience. I didn't go to university because the degree I took after I gratuated was still in high school in my city. So no big changes for me. You have so great experience in both your universities and in Spain. It was very great to listen to you during those 30 minutes. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you so much for your wonderful sharing of your yesteryears about your educational journey trials and tribulations .:) As a matter of fact you've made a power move to start KZread channel instead of pursuing PHD if you will. As far as teaching English online goes, you have what it takes to be a good English teacher and l believe that so wholeheartedly. You surmounted all the impossible and reach this far, you must be very proud of yourself. The sky is the limit. All the best Emma! 👍💪💖

Hola Emma Thank U so much for your video, U are a strong woman who pursues her goals despite the difficulties. You are an honest person, it’s not easy to meet someone like u nowadays. I’m sorry for your not good experience in Spain at the beginning.. I was sick of vertigo psychogenic for stress I understand your bad experience wit this illness. Thank U for telling us your experiences at the University. U are a successful woman, your number of subscribers are growing very fast , U are a famous KZreadr now, I want to apologize for my long comment, I promise U this is the last one so long. Hasta Pronto! Muchas Gracias

Emma, you can't imagine how much I understand you! I've studied English teaching in Argentina for free (yes! our universities are FREE) but that makes teacher treat students as if we were less than nothing... A student life can be amazing in some aspects but at the same time so miserable in others! It's a good but difficult experience. Your videos are inspiring, go on with your channel! Greetings from Argentina!

Well . After all we pay a price... Not money in these cases. Many English teachers are mean in our country it seems.

Thank u for sharing your experience at universities in the UK, and thank u again for being honest about universities in the UK. and I wish the best for your life.

Hi Emma, I loved the way you spoke and your smile.

Life's made of experiences and going through these tough situations at the university allowed you to fathom better what makes people happy, not always is having a degree or a master's degree at your fingertips, but instead of that, fighting against all odds getting out of the mainstream to work on what makes you happy. I know before you start up on KZread, it would be safer for you, having a backup plan just in case, and I think that's the right thing to be done. I do like Whenever you tell these stories because there's a lot of new structures of words to learn.

I found you a while back.And the first day when I was watching your vedios, I fallen in love with your teaching gestures.Really your teaching style is as beautiful as yours.. I am not so good in english but I think your vedios will be very helpful not only for me but aslo others.Keep me in your prayers so that I will be a good english speaker.Afterall ,thank you so much for helping us by sharing your vedios..

Awww...I love you so much, especially your voice, it's really beautiful

Thank you for sharing your tremendous experience about studying in UK.

I love your smile Emma and you smile all the time when you talk. That’s a fun British teach I’ve ever seen 🙂🤣

While listening ur University experience,my University life came before my eyes. I am also English Literature student

Thanks for sharing. Sheffield University has the same system for the exam though. During 9 months, we've had 12 exams plus 12 corse works. We've got only 2 months for the dissertation and it has to be 120 pages. We were incredibely under pressure. Bth, I've done my MSc in Civil and structural engineering.

I have 5 little grandchildren now living in Tokyo. I found your English Teaching style just weeks ago. I know Kids will learn from a teacher they like. I will refer your Channel to their parents first and subsequently to them. Btw, around from track 23:00 mins you almost got emotionally teary. In the later part I laugh as you revealed you wanted to become a KZreadr. I’m a serious person seldom laugh, except to my family and relatives but today I laughed alone. I think that KZread needs a lot of people like you. Grateful here.

There is a lot of beautiful teacher in the world you are one of them. the way you explain it priceless and your lovely voice awesome.

Thanks for sharing your experiences at Uni. Sorry to hear about the bad ones, but in the end all of us have to go through that anyway and that extends for life. So, you ended up being a youtuber? Of course not. In reality you became an exceptional teacher, so much better than some you once had. We've gained an exceptional source of learning. So cute, so adorable. Keep it up!

Wow thanks for sharing your experiences

Very good vlog Emma. Well done for achieving both degrees. I guess we all go through good and bad experiences at Uni, but it's a place to learn from people in general as well as form solid grounds for our career. I would like to listen to you speaking simple sentences in Spanish and Portuguese if you don't mind. Also, why Portuguese? I joined your channel very recently and learnt so much about pronunciation since. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for your help and God bless you 🙌

I have videos on my Instagram page from ages ago of me speaking Spanish and Portuguese. :) I started learning Portuguese simply because I liked the sound of the language. Also, each year I learn a brand new language! So for 2020 it’ll be something different! 😄 It just helps me understand my students more and get to know the problems that certain language speakers may have when learning English.

This is gold! I'm very keen on education system in other countries

Hello Emma, I've been watching your video carefully and I've found it extremely interesting! First of all congratulations for your videos, you 're a fantastic teacher, you know how to keep people's attention alive, your pronunciation is very clear and your style informal and pleasant. I know what it means to be a teacher as I used to be a teacher myself! And also I know what it means suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo as I experienced it three times in these last five years…..We've got two things in common, haha! But I want to tell you my age, as I think I'm the oldest of your followers, I'm 71 and still motivated to improve my English! All the best and thank you!

Hello Emma, when I was listening to you I remembered what happened to me when I was studying abroad in Poland two years ago it was really hard for me to live with some girls as roommates that do not respect other culture and they were trying to make fun of me just because I have a different opinion but what relieves it was the stuff in my University that were helpful and professors were wonderful except one tutor who hated my hijab but in general polish people were friendly and I really appreciate every single favor do to me of them.

I had the same problem with a roommate from Montenegro during my Erasmus experience in Lithuania. At first, she was nice and we kind of got along but when the classes started, she changed her behavior. I was studying full time and she's got just some random classes afternoon. It was so unfair when I wanted to rest for the next day, she started to chat via Skype with her family very loud or left the lights on. Her friends would visit her every day, and stare at me watching what I had been doing. I almost was deprivated from any privacy. It was horrible. So when it became possible, I asked the admin to move in other empty room, anyway I was paying for it. Because of the upcoming winter holidays and thanks to teachers understanding, we finished earlier and passed all the exams in the beginning of December. Last two months I lived like a Queen in double room, just me) I enjoyed so much my vacation. I explored the city and had so much fun. This was the best time in my life ❤️. I regret just only thing, I couldn't extend my studies for one more semester. I was pity.

Hi Emma ☺ I ve just read and understood how to work the studies in UK. First you have the undergraduate that allows to get a bachelor's degree after 3 years, then you have the postgraduate to get a Master's degree after 1 and 2 years, finally if you are ready again😅you have the PhD degree after 3 years☺ Therefore, studies are similar to France, we have actually the same degrees in French universities. It is quite a few different in the French engineer schools which are the most prestigious studies. The students get an engineer degree after 5 years either in sciences or business, finally if they want to continue they can also get a PhD degree in University after 3 years😅 I hope I haven't been boring to you but I would wish to share about studies with you😉 Thanks for your time ☺

Oh my god. When you said how ill you were only because of your University's treatment, I was going to weep. It is horrible how one of the "Best" Universities over the world treats students. Greetings from Mexico. -Luis

I appreciated so much this content and It gave me a different perspective about education around the world. I live in Peru and I am studying here. I could tell you that education in Latin America assimilates education in Spain. That is, the teachers spill a lot of information to you and they notify that the exam will be in two weeks.

A pattern I'm seeing in uni vlogs: big-name unis coming up short for student support, and smaller unis acing it. Cathedral Group unis seem highly praised when it comes to support: considering most of them started as teacher training colleges founded by churches, maybe good pastoral care was in their DNA from the start.

wow just was unbelievable history the life university, is nearly the same but most of us come of universities where is free, where we have had frustrations and happiness.

Well, I'm glad you decided to do KZread rather than a Ph.D. haha! My friend went for a Ph.D after we got done with TESOL, but I told myself, I'm DONE! No more school; I need $ instead! lol

The beginning of the video when u mentioned about that teacher that told u to use google , ohhh I relate so much, and I hate it.
