Teachers

A peer-learning programme for English teachers

who are ready to teach and learn from each other

Start in October!

Teachers Teach Teachers is an 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 includes webinars, speaking clubs, special interest groups (you can choose two out of five!), and workshops for teachers of the month. It is designed for three years but divided into Modules to make studying easier and more accessible.

Our next academic year starts in October 2022.

What we offer:

English for high levels: C1 and 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 one 120-minute group lesson per week.

The course book is Outcomes Advanced. All groups follow the same pacing guide, provided by TTT, and cover ONE book in three years.

Each month, one of the participants in the group becomes a teacher for their group. We call them Teachers of the month (TOMs). They get extra training free of charge.

Professional Development

We believe in paced professional development. No pressure, no rush.
We offer a 5-Module course on teaching adults lexically and other short or self-study programmes for English teachers: psychology, exam preparation.

Our main programme on teaching adults is based on the principles of the lexical approach. The course offers 1 webinar or workshop per month, and provides space for you to try new things out and experiment in class. We've been testing different formats of input and strongly believe that it's not productive to have more than 1 event per month.

The modules are:
1. Introduction into teaching adults lexically (5 months),
2. All you need to teach adults lexically (9 months),
3. Teach without a coursebook (6 months),
4. Create your own materials for adults (8 months),
5. Reflect on your professional development (8 months). Available only to those who take part in TTT lessons.

All in all, the programme lasts for 36 months. You can take one module after another, or take a break and wait for the next course to start.

We also organise an annual conference, Meaningful Weekend, and an internal conference for our community only.

Community of English teachers

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 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.

Some TTT features that might help you meet other teachers:

- speaking clubs for all the groups,
- TTT Cafe,
- TTT Random Coffee Bot,
- Special Interest Groups,
- Occasional offline events.

Each year there are two conferences in TTT:

an internal TTT Conference

and an external one called 'Meaningful Weekend'.

This gives you the opportunity to try yourself as a speaker in a familiar and safe environment, and to overcome the fear of public speaking.

1st Monday of the month at 1:30 pm
— Monday speaking club

3rd Saturday of the month at 4:00 pm
— TTT Cafe

4th Wednesday of the month at 4:00 pm
— Wednesday speaking club

Special Interest Groups

At the moment, we have five SIGs (Special Interest Groups) in TTT: Methodology, Linguistics, Games, Film and Bookclub.

They meet 1-2 times a month.

Here's what our participants say about TTT

Olga Belyakova

This project is a great opportunity to become a part of Russian ELT community, to work on your language and teaching skills, to explore your CPD needs and to continuously grow both professionally and personally. Happy to be a part of this community!
Nailia Soldatova

It's a great community of professionals that helps me improve my language as well as my teaching skills. People are friendly and supportive here. Highly recommend it!
Anna Sokolova

I see how beneficial and supportive the TTT community is. Apart from language classes themselves, there are great methodology webinars, we pick up tiny teaching tips from each other and it's really motivating to be among devoted professionals.
Yelena Tsimbalyuk

What have I gained as a TTT participant? Structured CPD, all in one place, with a great variety and thought. I've found a wonderful community of co-teachers. I've gained much-needed experience in teaching advanced level students online. I've learned a lot of online tools. Consider it a great investment of your time and money! You get a lot of things in one package. And if you are ready to learn and change, you will find ample opportunities for that here.
Irina Mosenkova

Being a teacher doesn't mean knowing everything but knowing how to involve your students and together find the answer. Teachers are just people and they study the same way as others. I've chosen TTT because I need people thinking alike from the same field of my interest to communicate with and develop in the language. Teaching for me means not only teaching others but learning myself. TTT is a great community to find answers to your questions, to learn yourself and gain your professional goals.
Diana Ananian

TTT is the best place for development and practice language skills. I think that here I can get acquainted with my colleagues. I will be teacher - of - the- month for the first time on June. Two weeks ago I was very nervous and excited, but after our workshop I was really very calm and concentrated. I am trying to plan my future lessons. I hope that they'll be interesting for my group.
Elena Ignatova

I have chosen TTT because I was looking for a community of like-minded people as I work mostly on my own. Now I've become more confident about my teaching, improved my English and found a group of teachers who became my friends.
Oksana Solyanova

I learned to stay calm in any situation during the lesson being the TOM (teacher of the month), observed a lot of colleagues conducting their lessons and learned to appreciate it. I'd recommend to join Teachers Teach Teachers. Experience is the most precious thing. Besides, when you feel you're not alone, when you can discuss your ideas and share your worries, it feels great!
