Online teacher training


I offer teacher training sessions to teachers who are interested in teaching English online but who would like to gain more skills and confidence.

After teaching online for six years, I have acquired an extensive range of skills and techniques that I can share with other online teachers.

I have already trained several teachers who have now set up their online services and are working online as English teachers.

How it works

Teacher training sessions are conducted entirely online, which means you will get the chance to gain the practical skills associated with online teaching. By being a participant in and contributor to the sessions you will get a valuable insight into online lessons from the student's point of view.

There is an emphasis on the practical skills associated with managing your computer to teach online in the lessons but equally on lesson preparation and actual teaching techniques. All sessions will be recorded thereby giving you the change to review everything you learn in the sessions.

Because the sessions are conducted on an individual basis, everything you do will be customized to suit your learning needs. You won't learn anything that you already know how to do and you will learn at the pace that suits you best.

"I was looking to improve and broaden my teaching skills on various topics related to online teaching. The lessons I had with Jonathan provided me with great ideas and tips that I was able to integrate immediately in my lessons. Our sessions were highly interactive and our thoughtful discussions provided answers to my questions. I will definitely work with Jonathan again!"
