The dreaded demo lesson

How to make sure your demo lesson goes as smoothly as possible

Now that the busy hiring season is almost upon us, many schools will be asking potential teachers for a demo lesson. Don't panic. Let them know who the professional is.


A teacher's pet peeve

Back in the groove again

It was time to put my trainer hat on and get back into the groove.
