Teacher Mentoring
This service is designed for newly qualified and novice teachers seeking guidance and ongoing support to achieve better learner outcomes for their students. Ultimately, this service accelerates your journey to becoming a more confident, efficient, and effective teacher, reducing your reliance on busy academic managers, occasional CPD sessions, teacher observations & feedback or experienced colleagues who won't always have the time to advise you.
Support for pre-service and experienced teachers:
We also assist students who are preparing for, or currently undertaking their initial pre-service teaching qualification—such as:
✔ CELT
✔ Cambridge CELTA
✔ Trinity CertTESOL
We provide support with assignments, practical classroom management strategies, and efficient lesson planning techniques. For more experienced teachers planning to pursue a Master’s in TESOL or Cambridge DELTA, we offer guidance on assignments, presentations, and final thesis preparation.

Why Choose This Mentoring Program?
With 30+ years of experience in the English Language Teaching industry—both in Ireland and abroad—I have the expertise to help you become a skilled and confident teacher. I hold a Master’s in TESOL (2013-2014), with a special focus on student motivation and engagement. Pricing will vary based on the number of modules you choose, and some topics may require multiple sessions (e.g., teaching grammar at different proficiency levels or preparing students for major English exams).
