Teachers Teach Teachers
We are a peer-learning programme for English teachers who are ready to teach and learn from each other.
Groups start on the 1st of June
TTT is a three-year online peer-learning programme for English teachers.
Participants learn English with a course book in groups. Every month a participant of the group becomes the ‘teacher’ for the very same group.
On top of the lessons, we provide a professional development programme, that lasts 3 years and includes webinars, speaking clubs, special interest groups (methodology, book club, linguistics), and workshops for teachers of the month.

What we offer:
English for high levels: B2, C1, C2
Become a student, learn English, have fun with it and tell all those stories you can't tell your 'real' students!
You'll have 1 group lesson per week + 2 speaking clubs per month.
We study only with Outcomes Upper-Intermediate or Advanced.
Professional Development
Webinars, speaking clubs, special interest groups (methodology, bookclub, linguistics), and workshops for teachers of the month:
• Year 1: Teacher's basics, Lexical Approach.

• Year 2: Lexical Approach, practical Psychology for teachers.
• Year 3: teacher training, materials development.
At TTT you'll be teaching other teachers and they will gladly provide you with some feedback. When you're not teaching, you'll see what other teachers do in their classrooms.
Community of English teachers
Our colleagues usually share that finding a group of like-minded teachers from all-over the world is one of the best things that ever happened to them.
We have meet-ups, attend conferences together, share ideas and support each other.
Terms and pricing
You need to pay upfront to book your spot.
The programme lasts for 3 full years. Each year costs 44 400 rubles (~495EUR). To make the payment more affordable, we're offering you to pay in blocks of 3 months, not for the full year in one go. It means you pay 11100 rubles every three months.
What you're getting for your money per month:
- 1 90-minute English lesson per week (4-5 a month),
- 2 speaking clubs,
- 1 webinar (usually pre-recorded),
- 1 live meet-up with the speaker of the webinar (we call them follow-ups),
- 1 live Q&A.
How to pay:

- Break your payment in 2 parts. When you click Apply, you can go for the 'partial payment option' suggested by the bank. This option breaks 11 100 roubles into 2 separate payments: 6000, you pay right away, and 5100, that you'll have to pay in 30 days after the first payment. This will not increase the price for you. You'll see this option on the payment screen, go for it and pay the first part. You'll get immediate access to everything for 30 days.

FAQ
Who runs the courses?
The pacing guide, the course structure and the academic programme is designed by Anita Modestova.
- But who are the teachers who teach you?
- Well … you, and your colleagues. That’s why we are ‘Teachers teach teachers’.
- Well … you, and your colleagues. That’s why we are ‘Teachers teach teachers’.
The teacher of the month is one from your group. This means that one calendar month long this person does the teaching under our supervision and with your support and feedback.
That's why we don't do trial lessons, or months - the teachers change and you have an opportunity to experience different teaching styles and teach yourself.
We also have our CPD webinar programme. Your tutors are:
- Year 1: Anita Modestova, Andrew Walkley, Natalia Ladygina, Hugh Dellar, Olga Sergeeva, Daria Maslovskaya,
- Year 2: Daria Maslovskaya, Anita Modestova, Ekaterina Redkina,
- Year 3: Tatiana Polovinkina, Maureen McGarvey, Andrew Walkley, Hugh Dellar.

How do you become a teacher of the month?
Usually teachers simply volunteer, because they know that our expert team will guide them through the whole process.
If not, we can always use randomiser :)
We really want to make the lives of our TTT Teachers easier, so here's something we've done:
⠀
Teachers of the month get:
✨ a special whatsapp chat hosted by Heather Belgorodtseva,
✨ access to TTT Teacher Training Module on our platform,
✨ 5 live workshops where they brainstorm ideas for their future lessons!
The meet-ups are run by:
✨ Anita Modestova (in charge of everything at TTT),
✨ Heather Belgorodtseva (CELTA trainer, in charge of feedback),
✨ Natalia Ladygina (CELTA trainer, in charge of Teachers of the month),
✨ Hugh Dellar and Andrew Walkley from Lexical Lab (isn't it cool to have one of the authors of your course book to help you with lesson planning?).
We really hope this all helps and teaching at TTT will be a developmental and pleasant experience for everyone.
There are 10 people in the group and a teacher teaches the whole month. It means some of you will have to wait for 9 months for this opportunity! So the best strategy is to volunteer ASAP!

What are the course books?
For the General English track it’s Outcomes Advanced or Upper-Intermediate, 2nd edition.
You need the course book only. The simple one, without the code. We're not using the workbooks either, but you can buy one if you want to do something extra.

Here's our guide on WHAT to buy and WHERE you can find the book in your country.
Do I have to buy the course book? Or can I download it?
One of our key principles is that we respect copyright. You need to buy a legal (paperback or digital) copy of the book to join the programme.
We also believe that buying a course book shows that you're going to take your learning seriously.

Can I get a trial lesson/a trial month?
- No.
And here's why:
The idea is that teachers teach each other and switch every month.

The idea is that teachers teach each other and switch every month.
If you join for one lesson:
a) this might be the first lesson for this particular teacher, and, we all know, first lessons can be overwhelming,
b) next month - next teacher,
с) you might be this teacher yourself :)
This makes the concept of a trial period absolutely impossible.
On top of that, you're not paying for each lesson, but for the programme. We have invited guest speakers, and provide a complex service: group lessons, webinars, SIGs and a lot of extra stuff. The programme for our General English track is for 3 years, so joining for 3 months a trial period in a way.
We aim to keep the minimal price so that the majority of teachers from different places all over the world could afford it. We can't and won't cut down on the quality of our product, but we can reduce admin work, that's why we're asking you to pay for a minimum of 3 months.

Can I switch the group if my schedule changes?
Yes, if there are places available. The groups will be doing the same pages of the book each week. It means the transition between groups's quite easy.
Still, we noticed that our participants usually try to stay in their old groups, or find their way to come back - the relationships and team spirit within the groups are unique.

How big are the groups?
10 people maximum for the General English track, but we allow overbooking (up to 12 people) for the beginning of Year 1.
How long does the course last?
3 years - the General English track (both Upper-Intermediate and Advanced groups).
Year 1: Units 1-6 of the book,
Year 1: Units 1-6 of the book,
Year 2: Units 7-12,
Year 3: Units 13-16.

When is the deadline to pay?
There's no specific deadline. When the group is full we take down the payment option from our website. As simple as that. Groups start every June, but you can join Year 1 any time you want, if there's a free spot in the group.
Do you have a placement test? What if I don't know my level?
This year, we have groups of three different levels: B2+, C1, C2. We don't have any tests or interviews.
Choose the group of your current level, not the zone-of-proximal-development one.
For example, C2 groups are for you if you’ve passed CPE,
C1 will be a better choice if you have CAE.
Choose B2+ if you are only preparing for CAE.
If you are working with higher levels yourself, it might be useful for you to choose the level you are working with.
If you are teaching Upper-Intermediate groups, choose B2+, if you are teaching advanced, go for C1 or C2. While studying the book as a student, you will get ideas of practical activities to do with your students.

More about TTT
English Lessons
We study in groups of 10 teachers.
Each group meets once a week for a 90-minute lesson.
Our course-books are Outcomes Upper-Intermediate and Advanced. All groups follow the same pacing guide, provided by TTT, and cover ONE book in three years.
Each month one of the participants of the group becomes a teacher for their group. We call the Teachers of the month (TOMs). They get extra training free of charge.
Professional Development
Each academic year at TTT has 12 months in it (how unusual!), and the programme is divided into blocks of 3 months. Firs two months are more intensive, the third one does not have a programme, so is more relaxing.
Each month you get a webinar (usually recorded), and a live follow-up with the same speaker.
Your CPD plan for the next three years has:
Lexical approach, Online teaching tools, Psychology for English teachers, Observations and Feedback, Materials development.
For example you might get: Psychology for teachers (June) Lexical Approach (July), Webinars by TTT participants (August).
Among our speakers: Hugh Dellar, Andrew Walkley, Anita Modestova, Daria Maslovskaya, Ekaterina Redkina, Natalia Ladygina
Community
We believe that teachers are amazing and should stick together. At TTT you will meet teachers from different countries, with different backgrounds, who are teaching in different contexts.
Our participants come from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Italy, Spain, Georgia, Poland and Turkey. Who knows which country will be the next to join!
Some TTT features that might help you meet other teachers:
- speaking clubs for all the groups,
- TTT cafe,
- our TTT Staffroom group (even when you leave the programme you can stay in the group,
- Special Interest Groups,
- Occasional offline events.
