Time management is a tool that can help you organize yourself, your family and work. Using time management as a tool you will be able to do important tasks stress-free, live a meaningful life and be satisfied with yourself.

I am a working mom of two daughters aged 4 and 9. When I felt exhausted and burned out in my life three years ago teaching 2 lessons per week, I started using time management methods. Gradually, they helped me feel healthier & happier, organize my life and work. Now I teach up to 12 lessons per week, keep a blog, write a book and constantly improve my skills. At the same time I am a normal mom of 2 kids and a wife.

In this session I am going to share my experience of using time management, technology tools I’m using to organize my work. We will work out:

1) what to do when students cancel or postpone the lesson 5 minutes before it starts and how to avoid such situations;

2) how to avoid burnout in teaching;

3) how to reschedule and plan a lesson in 10 minutes using your phone;

4) what doesn’t work in online-courses and where to invest your time;

5) how to organize your day & life - when to work and when to relax, what to do and what not to do:)

CELTA qualified English teacher, psychotherapist, runs own YouTube channel

Lilia is a combination of an English teacher and psychotherapist who specialises in teaching real English through integrating mindfulness, emotional mastery, intuitive learning and self-discovery techniques within the context of bespoke conversational lessons.

She has been teaching English for 12 years (now 28, she started teaching right after she finished school). Having come from a Ukrainian family, Lilia has become well-known in the teaching community for her distinct British accent, which she enjoys teaching to learners all over the world. Lilia majored in English philology and translation.

While investing her time in healing and counseling, Lilia keeps teaching English online one-to-one to learners from all walks of life. She also holds a CELTA qualification and runs a Youtube channel for teachers, where she talks about combining self-development and therapy techniques with mainstream teaching methods.

Unitive Teaching is the most meaningful and student-oriented method of teaching English to date.

By the tool of the English language, through Speaking and Writing work, we are called to invite our learners to explore what we all wish we had been taught at school (but never were):

- the art of love, happiness, being and human relationships;

- effective communication;

- the power of thinking for ourselves;

- discovering our life purpose;

- creating a fulfilling life experience.

Unitive Teaching draws activities from a broad range of disciplines, such as psychology, epistemology, personal development and self-help, neuroscience, spirituality, philology and psycholinguistics. It is a powerful combination of techniques that stimulate effective language usage and create genuine meaning in both students’ and teachers’ lives.
