#337 11 Things I Learnt Teaching English

Michael Lavers
About this episode

I've been teaching English online for almost 10 years now, and over that time I've picked up quite a lot of patterns and similarities between all my students. 

In this episode, I share 11 life lessons and other interesting things that I've learnt from my students, my lessons, and running an online teaching business. 

This is actually a previously-recorded episode from the Level Up English Private podcast feed. It's the second episode I ever recorded, but since it has never been released publicly before, I hope it's new for you.
