Accessible. Appropriate. Affective.
Watch one of our meetings to find out
We meet 2-3 times monthly. All meetings are based on reflection, member contribution, and application to our own teaching contexts.
Each month, we focus on one aspect of teaching and work together to learn about it and implement some of it in our classroom.
This is the basis of the 30-day challenge. Each member gets one every month with a development goal to work towards.
We take care of the "C" so you can focus on the "PD"
In this video, Andrew outlines 4 reasons you should join the LYE CPD Membership:
1. The 30-Day Challenge
2. The Community
3. Exclusive Content and Resources
4. It's a great way to Boo$t your Career
You are stuck in a rut in your own teaching and your lessons are usually the same
You want to develop but can't afford conferences or to take expensive courses
You want to meet other like-minded professionals to learn with and from them
You've been seeking a development program that is bottom-up and gives teachers a voice
You believe a one-size-fits-all approach to CPD is ineffective
All our courses are completely asynchronous, reflective, self-directed, and can be completed at your own pace.

Read MoreI have been part of LYE teacher community since December. I love the way academic concepts are explained and you can actually apply them in your classes. You start to understand what works and what doesn´t when it comes to learning a language. I am immensely thankful for all the knowledge the LYE team made available.

Read MoreI was sent a link to a LYE podcast in early 2021 and not long after made the right decision to join the membership. I’ve learned so much in the past few months from this community of educators from all over the world. There’s a lot of professional development out there, but nothing like what Andrew, Mike, and Leo have built. This is a gathering place to challenge ideas, to reflect on your teaching, and to continue learning. Webinars, readings, podcasts, and online courses: this is simply the best teacher membership around!

Read MoreAt first, I was very insecure about becoming a member, but LYE support was impeccable. They answered all of my questions patiently and made me feel embraced. Leo, Mike, and Andrew are so gentle and they always make people feel comfortable. Being able to get together with teachers from the most diverse educational and cultural backgrounds is amazing. The atmosphere in our meetings is different from everything I've ever experienced and I love how much people are valued and given a voice. I also appreciate the support from the other members who are always willing to help, share and contribute. I definitely recommend the LYE Teacher Membership for every teacher open to having a more critical view of education and being part of a terrific community.

Read MoreI joined LYE in February this year, looking for strategies to optimize my lesson plannings. Since then, I was not only exposed to great books, which prepared me for lesson planning more effectively, but was also introduced to a great group of diligent people who I meet twice a month live to discuss teaching issues and other things. LYE also offers participation in projects they are carrying on and partnerships with teachers. It's the best place to be!

Read MoreI have learned so much from this community, especially about dogmme and how to stress less at the moment of planning lessons. I have learned about other ways that I can help my students, also is a very dynamic community, we learn so much from the podcast, our meetings and the books we read each month.

If you're interested in our institutional packages, please reach out
Our membership is for any teacher who loves learning and isn’t satisfied with where they are at in the professional development. We work hard to cultivate a community of passionate professionals to learn, share ideas, reflect, and develop together. We have a mix of foundation, proficient, and highly experienced teachers who all collaborate and learn from each other.
The membership is ongoing and functions on a monthly basis. Each month has a different CPD focus and is the point of emphasis for our conversations, designs, and materials creation. As a member, your membership will automatically renew 30 days after you sign up. If you want to pause or step away from the membership for any amount of time, you can simply stop your membership at any time and rejoin whenever is convenient for you. There is zero contract, commitment, or financial penalty involved.
We meet on Zoom at least twice a month - sometimes three for a bonus webinar - and all live sessions are recorded. We make these recordings available to all of our members the following day via our membership portal right here on Thinkific, where the discussion and idea sharing continues.
Absolutely! Andrew, Leo, and Mike lead all live sessions and take an active role in the discussions in the Community group. They also lead the collaborative lesson planning and notes that take place in an ongoing Google Document throughout each month.
We designed the membership to be suitable for all kinds of teachers. There is a lot on offer each month, but you don’t need to feel like you need to participate and/or complete everything; we simply want to provide as many options and benefits as possible. We estimate that each member has approximately 10-12 hours of development per month if he or she contributes to all the offerings. However, don’t feel obligated to attend everything - jump in on what’s right for you!
Membership payments are made through our this website (Thinkific). We accept any credit card, Apply Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Venmo (US only). You'll be charged each month on the same day you originally signed up.
Great question! We offer institutional group rates for teachers joining our membership together. Simply have your institute contact us and we will arrange the sponsorships: info@learnyourenglish.com
While we hope this doesn’t happen for quality reasons, we understand life happens from time to time. If you need to cancel, simply log in to your account and stop your membership. You will then not be charged on your next renewal date (the day you started your membership) or incur any financial penalty - our membership is contractless and commitment free. When you are ready to return, simply subscribe again and you’re good to go!
