As a private teacher, you want to:

Motivate your learners;
Improve your students' performance;
Increase your students' retention;
Boost your professional satisfaction...

However, in real life we know that students need more than teaching, they also need assistance in keeping with motivation, planning, and goal setting.

This course aims at sharing with you the best coaching expertise and tools in the ELT and language acquisition field. By the end of our programme you'll be better equipped to take your learners performance to the next level. This, ultimately, will result in more mouth-to-mouth advertisement, more revenue, improved job satisfaction, better results and sense of achievement.

About the course

By the end of the course you will have learned how to apply over 10 tools to coach your students to success!
The course is divided into 3 modules, each one delivered by one of the trainers.
In the first module, Marcela Harrisberger will explain how coaching is relevant to education, what coaching really is and the roles of coach and coachee in a coaching process, as well as the benefits of using coaching tools and techniques in the classroom. She will also show how a coaching process should be conducted and she will present six practical tools she has adapted to be used in the classroom, which will enable students to clarify and understand their ultimate learning motivations, organize their self-study sessions, create an effective study sequence and most importantly, prepare students to overcome difficulties and prevent them from giving up when things get hard. 
She will also provide teachers with extra study material used as background to the development of the tools.
In the end of this module, Marcela will explain how teachers can approach the tools in the classroom from a language teaching perspective and how to take the best out of the coaching sessions, focusing on language development.

In the second module, Lauren Doucher will share her own experiences as a learner and she will show teachers a set of tools and techniques she applied herself in order to overcome fears and limitations which were hindering her progress.

And in the last module, Julio Vieitas will talk about how becoming a Teacher Coach can help the professional be more relevant in the market by showing teachers the marketing and commercial aspects, how they can benefit from using coaching skills in the classroom and also and how coaching tools and techniques can be approached from a methodological perspective, after all, we are teachers and our ultimate focus is to teach the language.

All the sessions are in English and presented in video with downloadable PDF files to be used in the classroom.
