In this Earn Learn Thrive LinkedIn Live, I’m talking to Kath Bilsborough and John Hughes of @writingeltmaterials about the programme they have jointly developed to help ELT professionals develop their materials writing skills.
We talk about the skills materials writers need and how these are developed on the course, as well as the whole process of setting and running the course, which was first launched earlier this year.
Kath has been working in ELT since 1987, first as a teacher, then as a teacher trainer and writer. These days she continues to write and she combines her love of training and writing by helping others develop the skills they need to write materials. She lives in the north of Spain.
John started teaching thirty years ago. He specialised in Business English and ran company courses in Poland and Italy. Later, he managed a teacher trainer department before writing his first book. Since 2006 he has written numerous course books and methodology titles such as Business Result, Life and the Expedia series.

Freelance language teachers… do you look at your calendar and dread your day full of calls?
Every client seems to need something different, you're constantly re-inventing the wheel, and
it feels like there’s a (pretty low) ceiling on what you can charge?
Something needs to change, but you’re too busy serving clients to even have time to work it
out.
I’ve created a detailed guide to help you figure out how you could change your business
model to grow your business, be able to serve more of the right clients, in less time, while
making more money- without needing to be on social media 24/7.
And over the last four years I’ve helped well over 100 teachers, trainers and coaches do
exactly this through my group programme, Designed to Flourish.
Follow this link to get instant access to the guide (hint - the first 2 are my personal favourites)

Hi, I’m Rachael. Like many people in our profession, I didn’t exactly grow up dreaming of working in ELT, but what made me fall in love with it was two main things:
❤ The opportunity to work directly with people and help them to help themselves change their lives for the better.
❤ The great colleagues I got to work with, as a teacher, teacher trainer, manager and materials writer.
Working as a business and mindset coach with ELT freelance professionals enables me to combine both those things, and to use the skills and experience I have to have a real impact.
One of the things I don’t like about ELT is the way that so many excellent professionals are underpaid, undervalued and scraping by. I also far too often see people working themselves into the ground. This might be OK when we’re in our early twenties with no responsibilities, but it’s no way to run a sustainable and enjoyable professional career.
I want to really challenge the low expectations, and culture of ‘having to’ accept poor conditions and teach ELT freelancers the steps they can take to make their businesses truly work for them.
I have: ⭐ 30 years of experience in the industry ⭐ 13 years as a successful small ELT business owner ⭐ heaps of training and coaching in running a small business, organic marketing and social media, copywriting and more …..as well as being a trained psychotherapist, counsellor, and coach.
This makes me ideally placed to empower freelance ELT professionals to earn more, work less, and live more fully. And that’s what it’s all about.
