Teaching that liberates,
leads, and includes.
Practical insights at the intersection of language education, critical pedagogy, and school leadership — for educators working in diverse, multilingual contexts across Africa and Europe.
What this site is
A space built for educators who want to go deeper
MyTeacherCoach brings together three interconnected areas of educational practice: language education, school leadership, and critical pedagogy. Each area has its own dedicated space — with articles, frameworks, and resources drawn from classroom experience, leadership roles, and postgraduate study across Africa and Europe.
This is not a site about quick fixes or generic strategies. It is about the thinking behind the practice — and the courage to keep questioning.

Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom (1994)
"The classroom remains the most radical space of possibility in the academy."
Bell Hooks argued that education is never neutral — it either domesticates or liberates. Her vision of engaged pedagogy, where the classroom becomes a site of critical consciousness, belonging, and resistance, sits at the heart of this work.
