Achieving Harmony in Teaching and Personal Life

22 de março de 2023

Lesson planning, grading, checking homework, and doing administrative tasks can quickly pile up, leaving little – if any – time for leisure activities. However, finding a healthy work-life balance is crucial for maintaining physical and mental well-being, and...Read More

P is for Personalization and Private one-to-one lessons. But what about larger groups?

14 de fevereiro de 2023

by Michele Schwertner

A long time ago, I wrote a blog post here talking about the perks and perils of being a private teacher. At that time, I had been teaching private classes for just one year. I have mostly taught one-to-one lessons since 2017, even though I have now been a private teacher for 10 years. Although...Read More

by Henrique Zamboni

While scrolling through my Instagram feed I usually come across a lot of posts from teachers who advertise themselves as super organized and productive.

Meaning over form

21 de julho de 2020

by Ana Carolina Calil

Friday, 6p.m., the deafening bell rang. Surely there had been meetings in which “the bell issue” had come to light, but there was never enough time to actually do something about it. The empty halls were taken by running bodies who dragged half-open backpacks and screamed as if they had been held captive for way...Read More

Vulnerability

I’ve always felt that in order to be a good teacher for my students I had to be at the top of my game all the time. This means having to let go of all worries and problems from the outside-of-the-classroom world while teaching, and I managed to make that happen for over a decade....Read More

March is here! It’s time to start thinking about how to bring St. Patrick’s Day into our schools and classes. Needless to mention how important this date is when we talk about cultural aspects of the English language. After all, many English-speaking countries celebrate it.

The musical hit series Glee aired between 2009 and 2015. I remember watching it and thinking to myself: “What a wonderful and necessary series!”.

Good teachers don’t stand on students’ ways

22 de outubro de 2019

by Victor Virginio

This might sound a bit too harsh, but we do sometimes hinder learning. The title of this text was borrowed from a famous saying in football, made popular by the controversial former player Romario, now a politician. He was a very successful and undoubtedly talented player and worked with a large number of coaches throughout...Read More

It goes without saying that teachers of teenagers often worry about how fun and dynamic classes must be so as to keep students engaged and motivated.
