Bringing Back the Joy To Change ESL Teachers' Lives

Empowering ESL Teachers to Bring Back the Joy in Their Lives

About the Lack of Joy

Have you lost the passion for your job, for your profession?

Do you feel overworked and underpaid?

Does the thought of going to work bring you down?

Are you overwhelmed with how much prep you need to do?

Do you want to bring the joy in your ESL teaching?

With a 38-year career as a Canadian teacher and consulting educator, coupled with my experience as an ESL student learning Chinese in China for 15 years, I have first-hand knowledge of the skills required to make progress in a foreign language.
