In this video I sit down with 51Talk Brand Ambassador teacher John Lucas (you probably know him as “That cRaZy fUn Teacher”) and we talk about the real question every online teacher is chasing: how do you become your student’s favourite teacher? For me, it’s never been about being the loudest or having the fanciest classroom—it’s about showing up with a clear plan, a playful attitude, and a big, genuine connection. John brings that high-energy, kid-centered vibe, and I love how he leans into fun without losing the goal of the lesson. We dig into what makes a teacher memorable: using your personality on purpose, keeping your routines simple, and making the student feel like the star of the show. If you’re teaching online (51Talk, VIPKid, Outschool, or anywhere else), this chat will give you ideas for building confidence on camera, leveling up your “teacher presence,” and creating a classroom that kids want to come back to. I also share links to the gear and resources I use, plus ways to connect with John and keep learning from other teachers in the community.
