Welcome to my biweekly Handy Newsletter, available for FREE!
After several months of work, I'm thrilled to share this project with you.
What is it?
The Handy Newsletter is your go-to resource as a teacher to enhance your skills. It comprises a variety of valuable free resources sourced online, including articles, blogs, videos, and academic research.
Who is it for?
While I'm an ESL teacher, the Handy Newsletter caters to anyone involved or interested in education. It covers internet discoveries useful for teacher training, motivation, classroom activities, teacher-student relationships, well-being, and more.
What's inside the Newsletter?
Each edition revolves around a specific topic, which could be seasonal (like Halloween, Autumn, Christmas, Valentine's Day) or related to teacher training and development (Teaching Kids, Teaching Business English, Education Issues, Technology in the Classroom, etc).
I categorize the content as follows:
Something to Watch: Educational YouTube videos offering different perspectives on educational issues.
Something to Use: Resources such as videos, activities, and articles for engaging lessons.
Something to Know: Education-related news in written and video formats.
Something to Read: Articles, including varied voices besides my own blog posts.
Something Academic: Academic research providing insight into the education field.
Every link shared in the newsletter aims to make lessons more engaging and communicative, promoting real-life learning.
Additionally, each issue includes a secret discount code for my no-prep materials.
Is there a cost?
The Handy Newsletter is and always will be completely free of charge.

How is this Newsletter unique?
Unlike many newsletters filled with promotional content, the Handy Newsletter is focused on delivering educational value. After streamlining my inbox and retaining only a few useful newsletters, I was inspired to create a similar resource dedicated to education.

”I used this with an adult ELL tutee of mine. I appreciate that the language was accessible for multiple proficiency levels, but the content wasn't obviously geared for children and still useful for older learners.”

”Another great resource from Handy English! I used it to give my students more in-depth practise into quantifiers and restaurant language. It's great resource and can be used after the students learn the basics of language for the restaurants and quantifiers. Definitely helped solidify what they learnt.”

”Love this resource. Great for fast finishers and also those in small ESL groups. Great for all macro skills as discussion and brainstorming is a great precursor for writing submissions.”
