I want to pivot my career to teaching. I get a lot of satisfaction (and ego boost!) from it but language was a big obstacle for me. I was very aware of my English and it was very frustrating how I can express myself in native language but I mumble in English. Last year I switched my surroundings from native speakers to people like me - with English as second language. It was a great confidence boost. I was mentoring people in DataViz Society and have two lectures about visualization. Now I’m preparing my course about creating data visualization on the web. I can do this on my company time so I’m free from thinking about profits and marketing - I want to run this for free. In the end it is aimed mostly at folks who change careers to programming without company learning budgets.
