Education and learning are a lifelong process. We aim to help teachers develop via a wide range activities.

Workshops & webinars

We enjoy not only learning English, but continuous learning at every stage of life. That’s what The Bridge workshops and online webinars are all about, delivered by our experienced tutors. Some are designed for teachers and foreign language instructors, others for students.

Teachers’ Day is a one-day conference for teachers of English, held every year in March to mark Teachers’ Day. The aim of the conference is to share experiences and knowledge and also to give colleagues a chance to meet, try English coaching or practice yoga.

Testimonials

The course with Mike and Andrea has really given me so much to my teaching career/practice and personal life. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to take it and meet so many amazing people. The delivery of the workshops, the quality of the content, the activites, the accommodation, the food and, of course, the attitude of the trainers was of a really high standard.

Mariana Csongová
teacher, Slovakia

It was a truly enriching experience for me, both professionally and personally. Ben is an exceptional teacher—clear, concise, direct, and with an intuitive sense of boundaries, bringing a wealth of diverse knowledge and experience. Our group was inspiring, and I’m always fascinated by how differently people approach the same topic. The environment at your school is truly unique—cozy spaces, a relaxed atmosphere, a coffee machine around the corner, and fruit bowls on the table. You could really feel that every detail was taken care of.

There are lots of teacher training opportunities out there. The Bridge offers something very different, something that will stay with you for as long as you teach. Everything The Bridge training and developments starts and ends with this: You’re not teaching grammar or writing, you’re teaching humans, and that should drive and motivate everything you do.
