💙 A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU! 💙
We passed 700,000 subscribers this morning and I’m truly grateful to every teacher and supporter in this community.
I went LIVE earlier today with a special announcement designed to be practical and helpful for teachers, especially around the ESL Teacher Pro app.

📌 New video is live here: https://youtu.be/_qAfbLC5q6k
If ESL teaching feels harder in 2026, you’re not imagining it.
More tools.
More expectations.
More pressure to do everything “right”.

In this video, I talk about why teaching feels heavier today and, more importantly, what actually helps in real classrooms.

No hype.
No “one more app”.
Just clarity.

👉 Watch it and tell me in the comments: what’s been the hardest part of teaching for you lately?

Happy New Year.
The end of last year reminded me that life doesn’t always follow plans. I needed to slow down and focus on what mattered most.
I’m still here, quietly building something for teachers. Not launching yet. Just making sure it’s done right and truly useful in real classrooms.
Wishing you a calm and meaningful start to the year.

A big update is coming.
Next week I’m dropping a new video about ESL Teaching in China in 2026 — what’s changing, what teachers should expect, and what you must know before planning your next steps.
At the same time, I’m releasing a new vlog from Xi’an, the city where Mike’s Home ESL was born 25 years ago. This place changed my life, and I want to show you the real beauty of where everything started.
If you’re an ESL teacher, thinking about teaching in China, or just curious about my life here…
These next two videos are for you.
Stay tuned.

Something happened… 😔
After years of doing the ESL Live Stream, @TEFLLemon and I had to stop.
It wasn’t an easy choice. Link: https://youtu.be/IH9eVR7Vs2k
In this video, we finally explain why — and what’s next for us… and for you, the ESL community.
🎥 Premieres Sunday, November 9th at 9 PM (Beijing Time)
Members can already watch it early.
Sometimes, even when you love something… you have to pause to move forward.
