I’m passionate about serving teachers. There’s no one size fits all lesson plan or solution to your class needs and issues. But, you’ve got a friend and support system in me. I can help reduce your overwhelm, give you some teachy inspo and improve your work-life balance. How? With solid takeaways you can try out immediately AND some much needed teacher love. Because your wellbeing is important too. You can find my contact details in the show notes if you'd like me to work with your institution and create a tailor-made CPD workshop for you.

    Episode 159: Progress is Incremental. But Do Your Students Know?

    Ever had a student say, “I’m not progressing” or “I feel stuck”? It’s disheartening for and for you too. But often, it isn’t true. In this episode, we’ll explore why learners feel this way, how to help them see the progress they’re actually making, and practical classroom strategies to boost their confidence and motivation. Because sometimes, progress is happening right under their noses — they just need help noticing it.

    Episode 158: Do Better, Online Resources!

    This week I talk about a bugbear of mine: crap online resources that bear no resemblance to real-world language. Once I get that out of my system, I talk about how we teachers can do better. And it takes the same amount of time it takes to scroll through the Internet and search for ready-made supplementary tasks and lessons.

    Bonus Episode 157: Join the Big Declutter!

    This week, I’m opening the cupboard doors — literally. I’ve been going through 10+ years of teaching materials: dusty files, endless flashcards, laminated tasks I’ll never use again… and asking myself: Why am I still holding onto this stuff? In this episode, I share what this whole process taught me about growth, change, and the way we teach. Spoiler: it’s not really about the materials at all. It’s about how we see ourselves as teachers, and how far we’ve come. Plus, to celebrate the launch of this new chapter, I’m giving away a free 45-minute mentor coffee chat with me. All you have to do is fill in a short survey (link below). It takes just a couple of minutes, and your answers will help shape the new community I’m building for teachers like you.

    Episode 153: 5 Things Teachers Shouldn't Do

    This short, passionate episode is a bit of a rant — but it comes from a place of deep care for students and the craft of teaching. If you're a teacher and you recognize yourself in any of the points raised, this isn't meant to offend — it's a call to reflect and rethink some habits that might be holding your learners back. If you're short on time, under pressure, or stuck in a routine — you're not alone. But that’s exactly why it's worth taking a moment to question, adjust, and improve. Teaching isn't about perfection; it's about intention.
