So… it’s happened. In this update I’m sharing what I’ve found out about Whales English and the fact that there are no more lessons for foreign teachers from tomorrow. I talk through what that actually means in practical terms: the company will continue delivering lessons, but in a new format—and crucially, without us. If you’ve been teaching with Whales, or you’ve got friends still inside, you’ll know how big (and honestly, how gutting) this is. I also cover what you can do next if you’re trying to reconnect with your students or your old teachers. For WeChat users, there are already groups out there specifically for reconnecting—because a lot of people are scrambling right now to find each other. I mention the two group names I’ve seen and the key detail: you need to be invited. If you’re in that situation, I share the best way to reach me so I can point you in the right direction.
