If you think less prep time means
lower quality lessons
, think again

Cut down on planning and prep time and deliver better lessons with simple strategies that reduce stress and burnout.

Doing right by your students shouldn’t come
at the cost of your health or happiness.

And sometimes, doing your best for your learners means taking good care of yourself. Planning less may feel like cheating, but really it benefits everyone. You show up more energised and motivated - and your students are more engaged.

Before working with me

You spend so much time planning you barely have time for yourself
You feel constantly stressed and like work never ends
You plan down to the last minute (and then some)
Some students are not responding to you and don’t seem motivated
The thought of yet another workshop is overwhelming

After working with me

You can create a positive classroom environment, resulting in a can-do attitude
Have a better work-life balance, reducing those toxic feelings of overwhelm, pressure and burnout
You can become a more reactive teacher, enabling both your creativity and by doing more student-generated tasks
Your learners take more risks and learn faster as they feel seen and heard
Learn by taking small but impactful steps, consistently improving your teacher over time

For Schools And Institutions

Teacher Development Workshops

Tailor-made online or in-house workshops that meet your teachers needs or struggles. Together, we will focus on a few key concepts and strategies, going deep instead of the usual information overload, allowing time to reflect and plan for the next lessons.
Quality over quantity every time.

Example Workshops

Reduce your teacher talk time

Keep your students engaged by learning the best way
to use your ‘teacher voice’ and what to avoid.

  • reflect on what good and bad teacher
    talk time looks like
  • a focus on quality teacher talk time
  • how to give clear instructions and examples

Get out of the course book

Sometimes it’s important to look beyond the core text but not spend hours finding new things to do.

  • pronunciation activities and ideas
  • recycling language
  • student generated tasks

Exploit your course book

If a course book is at the core of your syllabus, how can we make it more engaging and useful?

  • decoding: how to use audio scripts
  • cognitive explorative tasks
  • using student output for emergent language exploration and future review tasks

Get your learners talking

Simple ways to build trust and encourage shy or unmotivated students to speak more.

  • reflection on the WHY
  • sharing is caring
  • classroom management
  • student reflection tasks
