× I really enjoy my job because I love spending time with children and helping them grow is a meaningful career that helps me learning new things every day.
✓ I really enjoy my job because I love spending time with children and helping them grow. It is a meaningful career that helps me learn new things every day.
The phrase 'helps me learning' is incorrect because after 'help', the base form of the verb should be used, not the '-ing' form. Therefore, 'helps me learn' is correct. Also, the original sentence is a run-on and should be split for clarity.
× I usually study at home in my free time, is quiet and comfortable with helps me concentrate better.
✓ I usually study at home in my free time. It is quiet and comfortable, which helps me concentrate better.
The original sentence is a run-on and lacks a proper subject for the second clause. 'Is quiet and comfortable with helps me concentrate better' is ungrammatical. It should be split into two sentences with correct pronouns and conjunctions.
× I often take olive courses to improve my teaching skills.
✓ I often take online courses to improve my teaching skills.
The word 'olive' is a typo or incorrect word choice. The correct preposition and word is 'online courses' to indicate courses taken via the internet.
× I can study at anytime I want.
✓ I can study at any time I want.
The word 'anytime' is an adverb meaning 'whenever', but in this context, the correct phrase is 'at any time' (two words) to indicate any specific time.
× I wish my study space were more well equipped.
✓ I wish my study space were better equipped.
The phrase 'more well equipped' is incorrect because 'well equipped' is a fixed adjective phrase. The comparative form is 'better equipped', not 'more well equipped'.
× Maybe an adjustable desk, a treadmill desk so I can stand while studying, and a rubber PC setup.
✓ Maybe an adjustable desk, a treadmill desk so I can stand while studying, and a robust PC setup.
The word 'rubber' is incorrect in this context. The intended adjective is likely 'robust', meaning strong or reliable, which fits the context of a PC setup.
× I'd like to pursue a masters degree in Tesla, either in New Zealand or Australia.
✓ I'd like to pursue a master's degree in TESOL, either in New Zealand or Australia.
'Masters degree' should be 'master's degree' with an apostrophe. Also, 'Tesla' is likely a typo for 'TESOL' (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which fits the context of teaching. The preposition 'in' is correct for locations.
× I believed uh studying abroad would broaden my horizons and improve my teaching techniques.
✓ I believe studying abroad will broaden my horizons and improve my teaching techniques.
The verb 'believed' is past tense, but the context is about a current belief or future plan, so present tense 'believe' is appropriate. Also, 'would' is changed to 'will' to match the present belief about the future.
