This community has grown so much over the last few months, and I suddenly realized... I never actually told you who I am! So... hi! I'm Jennifer, and I'm writing from a little town near Barcelona, Spain. 🇪🇸 I'm an American who was born and raised in Mexico City, and these days I live just outside Barcelona, Spain, with my husband, our three children, a dog, a cat, a uromastyx, and a ball python. Needless to say... our house is never boring! 😂 I've been teaching English for more than 20 years, but here's something that usually surprises people... I hated school. Not learning—I loved learning. I hated that school often expected everyone to learn the same way. I was fascinated by questions like... Why do some children thrive while others struggle? How does the brain actually learn? What makes a lesson unforgettable? Those questions led me to study Educational Psychology at Endicott College in Boston, and they've shaped every classroom I've ever taught. Sixteen years ago, I opened my own language school in Spain. I thought I'd probably spend the rest of my career happily teaching English. Then, in February 2022, everything changed. A friend in Ukraine asked if I could teach a few children online. Of course I said yes. I never imagined that one class would grow into Teachers for Peace. Today, we're a global community of volunteer educators who have delivered more than 3,750 free online lessons to 700+ learners, supported by 70+ volunteer teachers across 20+ countries. Some of our teachers live in countries affected by war. Some teach in rural communities. Some work in public schools, language schools, or universities. Others have retired but still want to make a difference. What connects us isn't where we come from—it's what we believe. That education changes lives. And that teachers have an incredible ability to create hope, confidence, and opportunity. That's why I wanted to create this Hub. Not another place filled with endless notifications or perfect-looking classrooms.

It's been a little quiet here over the summer... and honestly, that's okay. ❤️ I know many of you are enjoying a well-earned break, finishing summer camps, travelling, or simply taking time to recharge before another school year begins. But I thought it might be nice to get together for an informal catch-up. No presentations. No training. No pressure. Just teachers from around the world sharing ideas, stories, and maybe a few laughs over a coffee (or your favourite summer drink ☕🍉). I'd love to hear: 🌍 What are you doing this summer? 💡 What's one idea you're excited to try next year? 🤝 How can this community better support you as an educator? If there's enough interest, I'll organise a relaxed one-hour Google Meet. Would you join? 👍 Yes, I'd love to. ❤️ Depends on the day and time. 💬 Tell me what time zone you're in, and I'll try to make it work for everyone.

For those who missed it! Here goes our first TFP Skool Meeting - Replay. It was so great to see everyone and meet you Juliana! I can't wait to see what 2026 brings. Thank you all for giving the Skool Video chat a try with me. I think it worked really well. What do you all think of Skool as a TFP step forward for 2026?
