Personal development for teachers of English as a foreign language

Are you a teacher of English as a foreign language? Working predominantly on a freelance basis? How do you feel about your job? What support do you have in managing your business and yourself? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and unsure of how best to manage your time? And what about career development?

As teachers, we are so busy with the development of others, we often neglect our own development – both personal and career. By taking time out to focus on ourselves, to check-in with how we’re doing, we can mitigate many problems. Working on our own development is an investment in our businesses and in our own well-being.

 

keeptraining offers you the opportunity to take time out for you. There are a number of courses you can consider:

 

• Participate on a Springboard open seminar (check current dates)
 
• Join other EFL teachers on a one-day tailor made development course (contact Michelle directly)
 
• Book a private coach; keeptraining has contact to teachers who are also certified coaches, native German and/or English speakers.

 

For extra information about teacher development possibilities, go to Events and read about recent and future workshops.

“As someone who has worked as a freelance English teacher for many years, I know what issues we face. I’ve learned – and continue to learn – about methods and tools to help me with my personal and business development. Now I want to share what I’ve learned with fellow teaching professionals.”
