Reviews for Lucy Pollard’s Guide to Teaching English

This has to be one of the best resources I’ve found for teacher wannabees like me. It’s got practical guidance and doesn’t use the jargon I saw on my TEFL courses and in other books.

What struck me most about Lucy Pollard’s Guide to Teaching English was its no-nonsense approach and practicality. Though I’ve been teaching for over five years now I learned a lot from it. In fact my lessons have never been the same since! I recommend Lucy’s ebook to teachers and trainee teachers alike.

Covered the full scope in a precise way. Easy to read end to end to get full overview. And I think it will be useful as a reference as I move forward. Lots of practical tips/ideas.
