About This Video

If you’ve been teaching ESL online and you’re starting to feel that creeping “meh” feeling—call it boredom, burnout, or just the need for a change—this video is for you. I talk through the most common reasons online ESL teachers hit that wall: doing the same lessons on repeat, feeling boxed in by a company’s rules, losing that creative spark, or simply realizing your schedule and goals have shifted. I’ve been there, and I want you to know it’s normal—not a personal failure. Then I get practical. I share what I do when I feel stuck: tweak the way I teach, add fresh props and rewards, change my pacing, and give myself new challenges so my classes feel alive again. I also talk about exploring other teaching options—especially Outschool—and I break down the pros and cons so you can decide if it’s a good fit. The goal isn’t to quit everything in a dramatic blaze of glory. The goal is to reconnect with what makes teaching fun, creative, and sustainable—so you can keep showing up for your students (and for yourself).
