Episode Summary
Being an educational consultant is one of the most rewarding experiences one can have. Through my website and podcast, I hear from so many teachers from all around the world who teach a variety of ages in a variety of places with a variety of experiences and resources. And what’s even more exciting is that I get to work with some of those wonderful teachers as their coach. In today’s episode, I am chatting with my teacher client, Leah Mitchell, who is an adult ESL teacher in Manitoba, Canada. Leah is a workplace language instructor and consultant. She has 15 plus years in the field of education and over a decade in adult instruction. Two years ago, she decided to get her TESOLT certificate as she saw a strong need for alternative options in the adult English learners realm.
She’s a big believer in helping adults gain English language skills in a balanced way without having to sacrifice work, family and life. She’s a teacher, business owner, mother, and just an overall wonderful human being.
This is the 1st episode about adult ESL on the ESL Teaching Podcasts, and I’m super excited to share it with you all.
