Why this exists
Many teachers start their ESL journey full of enthusiasm but quickly feel lost trying to navigate contracts, platforms, lessons, and business decisions. Teachers.theOET.com was created to take away that overwhelm, giving you clear direction, ready-to-use tools, and ongoing support to help you grow as both an educator and entrepreneur.
The person behind theOET
Hi, I’m Catherine, and I’ve been exactly where you are.
After more than 10 years of teaching and over 5,000 online ESL classes, I transitioned from classroom and platform teaching to building my own independent teaching business and curriculum. Along the way, I learned just how empowering (and challenging!) it can be to take control of your career.
Now, I help teachers just like you start, grow, and thrive in their online ESL careers, so you can focus on doing what you love: teaching and making a difference.
Our mission
To help every ESL teacher feel confident, capable, and connected with the resources, knowledge, and community they need to build a career that fits their life.
You deserve a career that supports you, inspires your students, and reminds you why you became a teacher in the first place.
