A humble overachiever with a Cambridge C2 certificate, Grade A. She's been teaching and inspiring high-level students. She’s a living proof that you can reach and maintain a stellar level of English with minimal effort — because why suffer when you don’t have to?
An Anti-Guide for English Teachers Who Want to Improve Their English
A list of terrible tips for those determined not to reach C2, which, like a perfect pig in a blanket, hides simple and actionable advice for actually leveling up. For instance: don’t read anything but textbooks, don’t analyze your students’ or your own mistakes, avoid exposing yourself to easily digestible bite-sized English, steer clear of teaching high-level students, and spend all your time on methodology courses instead of actual language improvement. Oh, and by all means, make sure to sabotage your progress at every turn. Bravo!
