Mentoring Processes
What happens once you complete a language coaching training program? Where do you get support when you feel stuck with professional challenges?
What if you suddenly feel you are losing the ground beneath your feet?
Our Ignite Mentoring Program ensures you have a structured, confidential space for professional reflection, peer collaboration, and growth. It addresses challenges like maintaining a coaching mindset under pressure, decision-making, and avoiding isolation. The next cohort starts late February 2026 with bi-weekly 90-minute sessions (6 sessions) for 4-8
participants who’ve completed coach training previously.
Key Themes
Participants explore practical topics through case studies, role-playing, and peer work:
– Contracting, action plans, writing reports, client/coach presence, role insecurity.
– Wellbeing (learner/coach), business growth/tracking, strategic partnerships, pricing.
– AI collaboration (ethics, bias, delegation), coaching skills deepening, career development.
– Case analysis, difficult clients, procrastination/perfectionism, role differentiation.
Session Format
Alternating bi-weekly 90-minute Zoom sessions – not a major time commitment, but enough to keep you engaged and motivated:
– Case Study Sessions: In-depth review of participant-submitted cases with mentor input.
– Peer Work Sessions: Role-playing, collaborative activities, skill-sharing.
Mentors offer guidance, feedback, and challenges. Participant Expectations
– Active engagement in all sessions and discussions.
– Submit case studies/materials for review.
– Commit to peer collaboration, constructive feedback, and learning.
Why join? Because having expert mentors + peer accountability is one of the fastest ways to grow both professionally and personally.

What is the Language Coaching Approach?
Language coaching incorporates coaching fundamentals into the language learning context. The role of a language coach is to support and empower the learner on their self-led learning journey. Instead of working with pre-defined lesson objectives, the Language Coach focuses on the learner’s communication outcomes and learning processes in their professional and personal environments.
A key aspect of the coaching process is to allow time for self-reflection and to evaluate language usage. Alongside this, the Language Coach assists in defining and using the tools that are needed to progress in the target language.
The Application Process

What Previous Learners Say
“I found this resource really informative and useful for my own professional development. Reading the ‘Practice’ section was a lightbulb moment for me. It helped me to recognize ways in which I already act as a coach to my learners. However, it also made me reflect on how I’ve perhaps undervalued the coaching process during and outside of class time. With this in mind, I could see how some coaching techniques in general could be used with my learners during tutor time and PSHE sessions.
I’d highly recommend the resource and would agree with the title – it is comprehensive! More than that, I found it an inspiring read – the author’s passion really comes through.”
