Observe me

Teaching can sometimes feel like an isolated profession. Even in a busy school, it is rare to have another professional watch you work simply to help you grow. An independent observation is a powerful tool for your personal professional development, completely separate from your school's formal appraisals or performance reviews.

Here is how an external point of view can help:

• An Unbiased Perspective: Get fresh, constructive insights on your classroom dynamics without the pressure of a manager watching.

• Targeted Troubleshooting: Identify exactly why a specific class feels "stuck" or why a certain student is disengaged.

• Bridging the Gap: Discover whether classroom friction stems from the lesson planning stage or the live delivery.

• Confidence Building: Validate what you are already doing brilliantly and refine the areas you want to improve.

How the Process Works

I have designed this process to be as stress-free and supportive as possible. You remain in complete control of the environment.

1. Book Your Slot & Choose Your Feedback Style Select a time for your observation using the booking calendar below. Standard booking includes comprehensive written feedback. If you prefer to talk through the lesson together, you can add a 30-minute Zoom oral feedback session for a supplement of €15. If you choose the oral feedback, I will send you a separate booking link for that meeting once your initial observation is confirmed and paid for.

2. Share Your Context Before our lesson, you will use [this link - to be added] to upload your lesson plan or answer a few brief questions about the class. You can provide as much or as little detail as you like. However, sharing a basic plan with your aims and stages is highly recommended, as it helps me pinpoint whether any challenges arise from the lesson structure itself or the live execution.

3. The Observation I will join your online classroom at the scheduled time. To ensure you and your students are comfortable, you get to decide the setup: just let me know beforehand if you prefer me to have my camera on or off during the class.

Booking Policies & Packages

• Observation Packages: Consistent feedback is the best way to track your growth. If you are looking for ongoing support, I offer a discount when you book a package of 5 or more observations.

Rescheduling & Cancellations

• Rescheduling (The Illness Safety Net): Teaching is unpredictable, and sudden illnesses happen. You can reschedule your observation once, completely free of charge, provided you give at least 1 hour's notice before the lesson begins.

• Cancellations with 7+ days' notice: If you need to cancel outright, you will receive a full refund, minus a €5 administration fee.

• Cancellations with 1 to 7 days' notice: You will receive a 75% refund of the booking fee.

• Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice: Outright cancellations within 24 hours of the lesson are non-refundable. (Please remember: if you are unwell, you can always use your free rescheduling option up to 1 hour before the class instead of cancelling!)
