About the course
It’s an asynchronous online course to master the skill of giving clear instructions which will help but not prevent learning.
I started the course because I’ve seen far too many creative activities spoiled with faulty instructions. If students don’t understand what to do, they unavoidably fail, even if the problem is not in the lack of their language skills, right?

I'm inviting you
Everyone involved in teaching English.
No matter how much working experience you have.
Without special training like this it’s impossible to avoid all mistakes when giving instructions: many of them are a part of our
natural ways of speaking and go unnoticed
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 15 minutes a day. Not that much for such a great change, yes?
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 reducing stress, fatigue and burnout levels
Practice
Each task on the course stimulates you to have a go and create your own instructions, free from common mistakes shown in my videos. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to do it fast and confidently in your lessons, too!
F.A.Q.
Not many:
You should be interested improving our teaching about teaching and have growth mindset.
You should have at least B2 level of English to be able to actively participate in discussions.
Perhaps, one of the best answers what it is and why we need it was giving by the Smiling Mind experts. In short, it gives you:
- Improved sleep
- Enhanced student & parent engagement
- More workplace satisfaction
Is it safe? Mindfulness is a natural human capacity that is based on being present, focusing on your breath and bodily sensations. It’s generally safe and useful, as long as it is practiced correctly. Anyway, if you have any significant concerns about your mental health (like depression, severe anxiety, psychosis, etc.), you may wish to seek professional advice and support.
The “Is mindfulness safe?” article by Oxford Mindfulness Centre discusses the research behind adverse events arising from mindfulness practice. It distinguishes between temporary discomfort and lasting harm, and provides hints about how to practise to ensure these risks are minimised.
The course is based on CELTA materials used world-wide – the quality of content is secured. It’s presentation though might be even more effective than in CELTA and the kind due to science-based 6 learning strategies incorporated in the course to help trainees learn.
The course consists of real video-recorded instructions to analyse and draw conclusions – and is available for 2 weeks. That’s more than enough to finish the course because the recommended and expected time on the course is not much longer than 1 week.

The course is evaluated via completed tasks – your answers can be seen only by me, so you can study in privacy and comfort.
Anyway, if you want to chat with colleagues and me, you’ll be able to join our Gentle Support chat on Telegram (included in the Gold and Premium Packages)
Let me know if you aren’t satisfied with the course within first 24 hours, and I’ll immediately press “refund” button. I mean it, no questions asked unless you want to leave feedback.
Is it absolutely free? Yes. It’s just a chat on Telegram.
Is it helpful? I’m sure that yes. We’ll talk about most common problems with classroom management that teachers face in both offline and online settings. For this marathon, I’ll also use materials recommended for CELTA, so you can get a taste of them.

Why did I decide to set time limits for the course?
The thing is that many of use need some external motivation to go in hand with their internal desire to teach better, so having time limits can be of help. But they are not supposed to oppress us at any rate, so it’s ok if one day you can’t study something and finish it on the next day. But make sure you don’t postpone it until the last day because binge-watching everything at one go is much less effective and memorable than gradual regular immersion. By the way, did you know that trying to recall the tips that have been studied the day before helps to memorise them for longer?
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. This hasn’t always been so and I have my own story where effective instructions play an important role.
During my own CELTA course and then later while working as a teacher trainer I found out that giving effective instructions is one of the most challenging skills for teachers to acquire. At the same time it’s a crucial skill as it can change your lessons completely. I want to help you boost your instructions with these 21 tips and you’ll see: your students have never been so responsive!
