What does less stress
and less prep look like (to you)?

For most teachers, including myself, it’s making small but powerful changes, engaging your students without adding extra time to your planning . If you don’t have a lot of headspace for change, my courses are ideal. The changes you make and the small steps you will take will immediately impact your teaching.

It’s not about fancy gimmicks: it’s about using what you’ve got, making a ‘lexical shift’ and making sure you’re feeling good about yourself as a teacher. Because who's looking out for you?

The No-Nonsense Lexical Toolkit: Teach English Like People Use It

A highly practical 4-week LIVE course to help time-poor teachers plan less, teach better, and burn out way less.

Free time

Reclaim some of your free time and stop worrying about what you'll teach when you should be relaxing.

Confidence

Feel more confident responding to your students in real time. Generate content and language with what you already have: your students!

Lexical shift

Experience a lexical shift that will transform your teaching and cut down your prep time as you use the resources you already have. Jargon and academic language will be kept to a minumum!

Plan Less, React More

Create more engaging, responsive lessons as you learn to react to what your students give you. This means less planning for you and more valuable lessons for your students.

What's Included:

4 x 90-minute live sessions (or watch the replays if you can’t make it).

Bonus workbook for real-time tasks and reflection.

Weekly implementation tasks (light but powerful!).

Access to a private community of like-minded teachers.

Me, cheering you on and answering your questions the whole way.

ALSO...

You will get a pre-task to do and a little post-task before and after each session.

Why? Accountability!

Each module has time in it to share thoughts and ideas and for reflection at the end.

Why? Because reflection is a vital part of the learning process.

I don't overload you with lots of new, fun activities.

Why not? You can Google those yourself. We focus on the fundamentals of the Lexical Approach.

My teaching style is passionate but light-hearted. I want you to relax and really enjoy this 4-week experience and use it as a chance to connect with other, like-minded teachers and share your thoughts and ideas.

I can't wait to meet you.

What You'll Learn:

1. An introduction to the lexical approach

This module is an absolute must if you want your students to learn more language, faster. Learn some super simple ways to implement this highly practical low-to-no prep approach. This will cause a ‘lexical shift’ in the way you see and teach language. It will transform your lessons and your approach to teaching.

2. Teaching Grammar Lexically

Bring grammar into the real world. Why can learners not produce language even though you have taught the grammar? Because it needs to be taught in a different way. But don't worry: the changes you make are not too difficult or overwhelming, I promise. Again, it’s more of a shift in the way you see language and the kinds of examples you should be giving. Also, learn about receptive grammar: it’s not just about getting students to speak!

3. How to work with what you've got

Why should you do all the work? Learn how students can generate class materials as we come full-circle to another aspect of the lexical approach: emergent language. There will also be a few little extra tips on how your students can decrease your workload.

4.Let's Workshop It + Q&A

It’s your chance to bring questions, challenges, and reflections. We’ll be learning from each other in a relaxed, workshop-style Q&A.

Remember: I can't do the work for you but I will be with you every step of the way. Remaining accountable and doing the work in real time (inside AND outside the live sessions) is essential.
Use the workbook to reflect and plan your next steps.

Do the pre-task/homework every week.

PLUS

Exclusive access to a WhatsApp group, where you can share your wins, ask questions and support each other throughout the course and beyond.

I was getting frustrated with my students for not being motivated and I was losing motivation myself. Now my students are willing to participate more and feel confident. My classes are going more smoothly than before and the students are now engage
