Brief course description
This course is for people intending to teach English but with no classroom experience. What the Celta or online TEFL courses don’t tell you. How to effectively prepare for your first day, and then walk into the class, exactly what to do and say to hit the ground running.
I am a fully qualified esl teacher for an overseas social enterprise language school which trains new teachers every semester and so I am used to helping transform nervous newbies into confident and popular instructors.
The course is particularly well suited to people who will be teaching in an environment with little or no support. You will learn how to prepare everything needed for day one. Walk into the classroom and build immediate rapport with tried and tested ice-breaker games, plus build a friendly consensus over a few ground-rules to make your life a whole lot easier.

JA Starr bio
I graduated psychology bsc (hons) and am Celta qualified. I have been at my current school, an NGO social enterprise in Phnom Pehn for over two years. As well as teaching full time, I have also helped develop the curriculum and assist with teacher training four times a year. I have taught around Asia and been to 58 countries overall. I live alone in a volunteer house and my hobbies are travel (obviously), public speaking, meditation, photography, markets, psychology and technology.
