How do I know if my students are actually learning anything?
I’m doing a lot, but my students are just kind of… there. Am I doing this right?

You’re new to ESL teaching and aren’t sure what a successful lesson should actually look like
You’ve started volunteering with English learners and realized you need more practical training
You want to teach English online and need a clear teaching methodology
You already teach ESL but have mostly been figuring things out as you go.
You have teaching experience, but you want to streamline your planning and understand the “why” behind your choices.
I’ve been teaching English for around 20 years and training ESL teachers for many of those years, including as a CELTA trainer.
And one of my core beliefs is that teacher training needs to be actionable and practical.
It’s helpful to understand teaching theory — but what most teachers really want to know is:
“What’s going to help me in this lesson I’m teaching tomorrow?”
That’s exactly what this training is designed to help you answer.
