Self-Study or Live teaching Practicum?

What’s the difference? Which one is the right fit for you?


Online English Teacher: self-study

Online English Teacher is a fully self-study course. You have the freedom and flexibility to work through the material at your own pace. You can can go through the modules as slowly or quickly as you’d like. It’s up to you! You get lifetime access, so you can sign in and review anytime.

The self-study version includes all 10 course modules (+ bonus module), access to all past webinar recordings, and ongoing membership in the Online English Teacher community group.

This version is a good fit for you if you already have online English teaching experience and you’re looking to refine your skills. You’ll gain insight into how to make your lessons more fun and communicative, how to use tech tools more effectively, tons of new activity ideas for your online classes, and much more.


Online English Teacher: live practicum

This version includes everything in the self-study version, plus an eight-week live teaching practicum in which you’ll teach a different online lesson every week to real ESL learners, while I observe you.

This is the higher-touch version of the program. I’ll be there to coach you! We’ll meet for a one-on-one guided planning session before each lesson and a personalized feedback session afterwards. Just like the self-study version, the live practicum includes lifetime access to all course material as well as ongoing membership in the Online English Teacher community.

The live practicum upgrade is ideal for you if you’re a new online teacher or if you’re ready to seriously upgrade your current teaching skills through targeted, hands-on experience. This is practical, personalized training at its best!
