Michelle Maxom
English as a Foreign Language teacher and trainer

Your one-stop guide to a career that will take you places. If you thought that teaching a language that's second nature to you would be easy, think again! Explaining grammar, or teaching correct pronunciation while simultaneously developing your own skills as a teacher can be a huge challenge.

Whether you're on a training course or have already started teaching, this book will help launch your career and give you the confidence and expertise you need to be a brilliant teacher.

Make an educated decision by deciding between the various courses, qualifications, and job locations available to you. Start from scratch by planning well-structured lessons and developing successful and effective teaching techniques.

Focus on skills from reading and writing to listening and speaking, getting your students sounding and feeling fluent. Get your head around grammar by teaching students to put sentences together, recognise tenses, and use adjectives and adverbs.

All shapes and sizes tailor your lessons to younger learners, one-to-ones, exam classes, and Business English learners.

'An invaluable manual for anyone thinking of embarking on a TEFL journey. Michelle Maxom's step-by-step guide provides practical tips to get you started and offers key advice to help unleash the creative English language teacher within.' – Claire Woollam, Director of Studies & Teacher Trainer at Language Link London
