Testimonials from our previous teacher trainings
I really enjoyed being in this master class. I felt that it really challenge me. The masterclass helped me learn a lot in fact more than what I expected so I'm satisfied and grateful for having this opportunity.

Thank you so much for this course! I am a teacher and a teacher trainer, and although I had tried figuring out digital tools on my own, this course was exactly what I needed.

5 Reasons to attend our free workshops
1
We do workshops, not webinars
We won’t host a lecture – we will share our passion and experience, while also taking the audience in account, so our workshops include from 15 do 20 minutes of discussion with participants.
2
Bite-sized theoretical concepts
If any teaching theory is included, it will be practically explained and demonstrated through relatable classroom activities.
3
Practical activities you can apply immediately
No-brainer activities that are straight to the point – activities that you can immediately apply in your classroom.
4
Real classroom practicioners
This means that all of our presenters will be real classroom practitioners – there will be no coordinators or admins that have never set foot in the classroom.
5
Free certificates will be issued at the end of the workshop
A free certificate will be issued during the workshop. To get it you need to answer a reflection question, and it will be only shared live, not after the workshop.
