In this video, I sit down with three amazing online teachers—Leah Sparrow, Ingrid Moats, and Victoria Gillick—to talk about something that can make or break your online teaching experience: communicating well with ESL parents. If you teach on platforms like VIPKid or Outschool (or you’re moving into online teaching), you already know that parent communication isn’t just “extra”—it’s part of serving your students well and keeping your schedule running smoothly. We chat through practical ways to keep messages clear, kind, and professional, even when there’s a language barrier. My biggest takeaway is that simple systems matter. When I have a plan for what to say, how to say it, and when to follow up, I save time and I avoid unnecessary stress. I also share resources I use to stay organized and keep my online teaching journey moving forward—whether you’re applying to teach, building your classes, or trying to grow consistently without burning out. And as always, I want you to know you don’t have to do this alone—if you’re getting started and need mentoring, I’m just an email away.
