In this video, I’m breaking down my hot fire pacing tips for ESL classes—because nothing will stress you out faster than realizing you’re on slide 6 with 4 minutes left. I walk you through how I think about pacing from the very beginning of class, what I’m watching for in student responses, and how I keep the lesson moving without making it feel rushed or robotic. If you’re teaching online (especially with slides), pacing is basically the difference between a smooth class and chaos. I also get super practical about what to do when you don’t finish all the slides (spoiler: it’s not the end of the world), what to do when you’re behind, and how to handle those smart, speedy students who finish everything in 0.2 seconds. I share ways to stretch or compress activities, keep engagement high, and still hit the objective. At the end, I point you to extra tips and resources that helped me when I was teaching online full-time, plus links if you’re trying to get started with platforms like Outschool, Palfish, or VIPKID.
