Hello and welcome back to Grow: A podcast from Cambridge.

We’re back at the beautiful and sunny King’s College in Cambridge to bring you another very special Q&A episode.

Host Luísa Geão is joined by Helen Kenyon, Product Manager at Cambridge and Dr Kate Brierton, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. Together they explore how you can care for your learners and protect your own well-being.

Our experts answer real questions submitted by English language teachers around the world from Azerbaijan, Mexico, and Germany - collected at the IATEFL conference in Brighton.

In this episode of Grow, you will discover:
• How to notice when a learner is struggling.
• Simple weekly check-ins to spot burnout before it takes over.
• Easy emotional language you can teach to young learners.
• Using English as a space for students to talk about stress and emotions.
• Practical tips on body language to calm anxious learners.

If you’ve got a question about your own classroom we’d love to hear from you. Send your questions to growpodcast@cambridge.org and they might feature in a future episode of Grow.
