Welcome back to a special episode of Grow: A podcast from Cambridge where today we welcome Cindy Hoang, EFL teacher at Stafford House, London.
In this episode, Cindy and host Joel Cutting explore the first few years of being a new teacher, discussing the realities between academic study and then taking those first steps leading the classroom.
Cindy has a unique journey, moving from being a teaching assistant for young learners in Vietnam to leading multilingual adult classes in the UK. She talks honestly about the pressure of studying and teaching in a new country, as well as the small moments that remind her why the job is worth it.
In this episode of Grow, you will hear all about:
How Cindy navigated the shift from supporting roles into leading her own classes.
Practical ways she adapts lessons for different age groups and cultures.
How self-reflection, mentorship and a willingness to keep learning have built her confidence.
How to create a positive, engaging classroom environment where students feel safe to make mistakes.
You’ll also hear from Helen Allen & Cecília Lemos Harmer from the Professional Learning and Development team at Cambridge with a top tip on how to bring sustainability into the language classroom. Discover further, free, practical support for teachers at cambridge.org/sustainability.
