Hi, I'm your summit host - Ieva Grauslys.
I am an ESL teacher, host of The ESL Teaching Podcast and owner of simplyieva.com, where I provide help to busy ESL teachers with ready-made resources, actionable tips, and meaningful coaching.
I have been a teacher for over 15 years and have worked with English learners at various stages of their English learning journey. As a former English learner myself, I bring my background and unique perspectives to the classroom and am able to simply and easily connect with both ESL students and educators alike.
I firmly believe that the best teacher is one who constantly learns and therefore you can find me feeding my curiosity by learning from people, books, and travels.
I am super passionate about teaching English and helping others do so, too!
And that is why I created the Confident ESL Teacher Summit - to help you gain confidence in your craft, to share tips and strategies that work, and to inspire you to have an empowered year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this summit for?
The Confident ESL Teacher Summit is for both new AND experienced ESL teachers, who work with students in K-12. If your desire is to learn actionable and practical strategies and ideas to implement with English learners all year long, this summit is for you!
As teachers of English learners, we have our own special needs that general education teachers don't deal with. The variety of language backgrounds, teaching situations, student numbers, and proficiency levels make our field very unique. But with the help of an incredible, diverse, and experienced team of ESL educators from all over the country you will have a fantastic professional opportunity to learn and implement new strategies in your classroom. Not to mention the sense of inspiration and empowerment that an event like this will leave you with.
If you are ready to start your ESL teaching journey (or if you've been at this for some time and would love a fresh perspective from teacher experts who GET IT), then this virtual conference is perfect for you!
What if I am unable to watch all the sessions at once?
We get it, life happens (appointments, plans, etc. - who can avoid them?) Upgrade to the All-Access Pass for 24/7/365 access to the sessions through July 2024.
- You can watch at your own pace and you can re-watch your favorites as many times as you need to. (Think: you learned something in the summer but are not ready to implement it until next February - with an All-Access Pass, you can watch as much as your heart desires!).
- Plus, with the All-Access Pass, you get a Professional Development certificate (15+ hours)
- as well as exclusive trainings and classroom resources to use throughout the year.
Do I get a Professional Development certificate for attending this summit?
Yes! With your All-Access Pass, you get 15+ hours of PD certificates to serve as a record of your time. This is a fantastic way to not only learn what you personally want to learn but also to have the document that you can add to your continuing education files!
