***WONDERFUL MEMORIES*** 27TH JULY 2024 - ERTIQAA INNOVATION OF ELT CONFERENCE, CAIRO, EGYPT

The best thing about attending international conferences? 🌍

Beautiful memories we make along the way. 💓 

Making new friends and staying in touch. 😊 

It was such a pleasure to meet everyone there! 

A fantastic and memorable event in so many ways.

Delighted with the warm welcome and great feedback received on my expert talk: 'Enhancing Focus, Engagement and Performance in Class with Brain-friendly, Metacognitive and Therapeutic Approaches to the Teaching-Learning Process.' 🧠  

During the conference, I shared both specialist knowledge and new ideas for engaging activities for the classroom use. Lots of fellow educators, teachers and teachers-to-be from different parts of the world have contacted me since then expressing genuine interest in deepening their knowledge together. 

Here's how I have responded:

✅ a mentoring programme and 

✅a Special Interest Group (Mental Health, All "Neuro" Content & Therapeutic Teaching) are available for those who seek high quality continuous professional development opportunities with an internationally recognised, accredited teacher trainer, UK Standards Office accredited CPD speaker, specialist in neurodiversity-informed practice and a registered therapist of a holistic mindset;

✅a closed Facebook group 'Train Your Brain with Anna' for regular attendees and those who implement my programme in their schools;

✅a new place on Facebook for updates: Therapeutic Teaching - Anna Machura https://www.facebook.com/annamachuratherapeuticteaching/

✅another place to find and contact me: Therapeutic Teaching - Anna Machura: https://annamtherapy.blogspot.com/2025/07/

✅regular talks or bespoke training sessions for educational institutions, schools and community groups;

✅lectures in e.g. inclusive teaching practices, neurodiversity, neurolinguistics, educational neuroscience, visionary leadership and management strategies;

✅in-house and online workshops on enhanced methodologies, ideal for primary, secondary and university level learners; 

✅ courses and training sessions on ESP (English for Special Purposes) such as medical, legal or business English, EAP (English for Academic Purposes), using authentic materials in class for faster and natural communication in English.

A big shout-out to everyone in my network from Egypt and around. 🌍

OF NEUROLINGUISTICS SIG

& SPECIAL EDUCATION SIG

AUGUST 9TH, 2025

Thank you so much for being with us! 💓 

It was a fantastic gathering of teachers from all parts of the world! 🗺️ 

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." We choose to move steadily forward, with a solid plan, inviting others on the way... and we are truly international!

What happens before, during and after our sessions?

As the sessions are ongoing, we meet and plan the topics carefully every time. We listen to our participants' needs, discuss the challenges they face in different parts of the world and aim to address their needs, assist by presenting real-life examples of relevant methodologies, strategies, programmes, and often new ideas. The journey does not end there; we stay in touch with everyone. ☺️ 

Our mission: 

✅To inspire positive, sustainable change and make it happen, together, globally. 

✅To connect with educators who work with neurodivergent and special needs students, in small villages and in big cities.

✅To mentor, support and build more communities of best practice in the field.

✅To go beyond traditional frameworks by proposing novel solutions that have been proven to bring enhanced results in practice.

✅To create a ripple effect and reach as many educators as possible who think the same, feel the same, and wake up every morning with the same love for their often vulnerable or "invisible" learners. 

✅Besides, we do our best volunteering in under-resourced regions of the world providing guidance, workshops or therapeutic programmes, as we believe that everybody deserves a helping hand. Join us to meet like-minded educators. We see new faces every time. It is free to participate in our events! 🤗
