Course description

Teaching and even raising teenagers can be a lot of fun, stress-free and effortless at least most of the time, if not all the time.

By finding your inner strength and resources, integrating into your teaching a set of underlying, long-term strategies and activities, developing a teaching ‘flow’ and strengthening your confidence, tweaking your work environment and insisting on a fair amount of personal time, hobbies and sports, you can be(come) a cool/-er, happy/-ier and more balanced teacher and person.

The course is targeted primarily at English teachers who teach teenagers of all language levels but can indeed be enjoyed by educators across a range of subjects and contexts, such as self-study centre staff, school administrators, private teachers, parents and more.
Course attempts to reassure experienced teachers in their ways, making the most of their teaching ‘routine’ and experience.

Course also supports beginner teachers by suggesting a few shortcuts into an anxiety-free teaching life or mostly so. While personal and anecdotal the course content is ultimately authentic and – it is no artificial intelligence.
