I'm inviting you

Everyone involved in teaching English.

No matter how much working experience you have.

Without special training like this (or the original full CELTA or TESOL)  it’s impossible to avoid all mistakes when giving feedback:

many of them stem from our own educational background and faulty ways WE were taught back at school.

And no, your school teacher can’t have known about all of the CELTA tricks. Yes, pretty sure.


Features

Quality

I’m a CELTA and DELTA-qualified teacher trainer with focus on mindfulness and well-being. So, I know how to take your teaching to international level without too much stress

Efficacy

CELTA and TESOL courses are famous for their overwhelming amount of information in a very short time period. But our brain doesn’t work this way – we can’t focus on improving everything at once. Perhaps, that’s why Cambridge recommends spending 1-2 years after CELTA to introduce the practices into your teaching. On this course we take one step at a time and make it really stick!

Ease

We use perhaps the most comfortable Google Classroom platform available on all devices at any time. It is simple to use and allows you to study at your own time and pace while helping to control the workload – only 20 minutes a day. Not that much for one of the most powerful changes in teaching career, right?


Benefits

CELTA skills

We train only with tasks recommended for international teacher training courses like CELTA. Thus, you can be sure to acquire most effective skills to teach communicatively, joining thousands of professionals around the world

Mindfulness

We practice mindfulness, an easy secular technique of paying attention to the present moment. It increases effectiveness of the course by boosting concentration while reducing stress, fatigue and burnout levels

Practice

Video tasks help you to see the best correction and feedback techniques in action. By the end of the course, you’ll have practised all of them yourself and be able to use them naturally and confidently in your lessons at appropriate times, too!

F.A.Q.

My story

I’m a CELTA- and DELTA-qualified teacher and teacher trainer. Today I help other teachers to become more effective by implementing communicative methods.

Anyway, once upon a time… I was a student myself! I still remember what it feels like when you want to share something deeply personal and you get stopped and corrected on the spot (“for your own sake!’). It’s sad to think about that…

It’s even sadder to admit that everyday in my teaching practice I help far too many new students to recover from such ‘treatment’ and overcome their fear of speaking, instilled by other teachers keen on overcorrection.

 At the same time, I am proud that my own students do not seem to be afraid of speaking at all and actually benefit from feedback.

‘I help far too many new students to … overcome their fear of speaking’
