Training for schools and teachers

Learn Callan Method teaching techniques and how to run an English school or a structured private-teaching business, with a trainer who has done it for decades.

Experience

From 2000 to 2011, at Robin Callan’s request, Mr Q worked as a consultant for new Callan Method schools in Brazil. Many schools, private teachers and entrepreneurs trained with him, and several of them have written about it below. In 2007 he trained the teachers of CLC Switzerland in Vevey.

In 2014 Mr Q received a letter recognising him as an Authorized Trainer. His training is independent and is not affiliated with the Callan Method Organisation. If you want to open an accredited Callan Method school, please contact the Callan Method Organisation directly.

How it works

Training starts with a one-hour consultation via Zoom. In that hour you can check whether the training meets your needs and agree on content, dates and times with Mr Q. Message Mr Q on WhatsApp to arrange it.

Back in 2007 Mr Callan introduced me to Mr Q and I hired him to train my teachers in Vevey. It was a fantastic experience! He has deep knowledge of the Callan Method and is an excellent teacher and trainer! Highly recommended!

My husband Andreas and I took the training together, and it prepared us to open Brits School in Arujá many years ago. The school was so successful that we had no difficulty selling it when we had to move to another country. The training offered by Mr Q School is well worth it! We learned a lot, and we always recommend this training and consultancy to anyone planning to open an English school with the Callan Method. I also received a great deal of encouragement and support at the start of my career as a forensic interpreter. Our professional relationship became a wonderful friendship of many years.

I worked as an English Instructor at Mr Q school in São Paulo, Brazil in 2012. It's suffice to say that after the passing of six years, I write this highly positive recommendation with much zeal. Mr Q School stands out as very professional and with highly-skilled individuals in both teaching and dealing with students. For any prospective overseas teachers with trepidation over the thought of embarking on the daunting journey and the inordinate challenges of working abroad, let me assure you, you're in safe hands. I was given ample support from airport pickup/drop off to complimentary Portuguese language classes. The school team is highly affable and friendly yet commands respect from their students and employees. The school provides professional support by way of a comprehensive training period as well as constructive and continual feedback. The school also allows for development opportunities and is happy to delegate managment duties to allow one to gain new skills. I wrote this with much nostalgia and I can say that a position in Mr Q school as well as the mentorship is enviable.
