Who we are

We are experts - but not educators

We coach. We are trained, experienced, certified professionals who coach every day. It's our job, our profession, our passion. Much like teaching is for you.

We are experts in coaching. We know how to sit at the back of the 'tandem bicycle' and support you on your journey. You decide where to go. You do the steering. We can give a little push when it gets tough. Together, your journey a lot easier and much more fun.

Why we do this

There are many coaches on the C4E Roster. We have different reasons.

We have these in common:

Gratitude for the support we received in our youth
A desire to give back to those who helped us
A sense of purpose in supporting those who can make a positive difference to many lives
Confidence that educators who receive coaching will also become a little more coach-like in their work

Who our clients are

Educators: this initiative provides you with the opportunity to boost your personal and professional development within Education

C4E works with:

Principals and Headteachers who are committed to the long-term and continuous care and development of their teaching staff
Experienced teachers who seek to take a moment to reflect and review what’s been working and what’s not been working; to regain clarity of purpose; and to renew their energy and enthusiasm for the teaching profession
Newly-qualified teachers who are looking for the most effective ways to learn from their ongoing teaching experiences.
And every educator in between the newly-qualified and the most experienced. For us, the word 'educator' means someone who works with young people in an educational setting. Not only teachers.

We work globally

We are available online

C4E Coaches are available on every continent, via your mobile phone, laptop or computer.

Two educator's voices on being coached

Maria Iervolino, A Teacher of English Language at Secondary School commented

I concluded yesterday my last coaching session with Susanne. It was an incredible experience I wish I could have had before.

During the first coaching hours I realized I had built for decades my own personal prison, a place/ cage of comfort and false serenity which Susanne has the capacity to sense and put into discussion with a simple question. A single word or even a moment of silence, silence that talked more than thousand words.

Thanks for this unique opportunity, can’t find the words to thank you enough.

English teacher, Ng Xuandy, about being coached

I never knew how powerful I was until I was coached. The coaching sessions gave me a safe space to explore my inner thoughts and ideas that I've never had the chance to really think about deeply.

I think the best part about coaching is that it makes me feel really strong, like there's nothing that can stop me if I set my mind to it.

I am so lucky to have found C4E. Being coached by Vittoria, my wonderful, wonderful coach, was a magical experience. She is very wise, resourceful, professional and kind. I am very grateful to Vittoria for leading me to readjust my core values and made a huge leap in my teaching.

I would highly recommend C4E to all the amazing educators out there!

About being coached

Coaching is not therapy or counselling, nor is it consulting or instruction. Coaching might be new to you, so here are some indications of what it is like to be coached.

This is your life, your mission and your work. You will not be given advice about working in education.
You will define your own path through your life and work
You will experience how a coaching approach can support you as an educator
You are the expert of your work and life. The coach is not an expert in educational matters
Your coach is not a teacher nor a therapist, nor a counsellor
You will not be formally taught how to use a coaching approach, however, your experience of it will improve your work as an educator in some way
The coach does not decide what you will talk about, you do!

You will decide what homework to do between the coaching sessions, and design it together with your coach
The coach will not give you a written test to discover the coaching you need. You will however, complete a self-reflection questionnaire about the coaching that you want
You decide what your goals are, perhaps with some help from your coach
The market value of the coaching is 400 euro for all four sessions. It is offerered to you for free. However, you should commit to attending all four sessions
When being coached, you should be in a calm and quiet place, and have full attention on yourself. You cannot be coached whilst travelling or driving your car for example.
