“Instant feedback turns teaching moments into learning outcomes”
Back to where I love to be
I have recently been actively teaching again (online and face-to-face). After spending so much time on educational projects, teacher training and consulting it’s so refreshing to be doing what I love! Teaching is definitely my passion.

Each post rings true to me as an ordinary classroom English teacher on a full timetable; each post contains ideas that, I think, cut to the core of English pedagogy and immediately translate to the everyday classroom.
