How many teachers feel
Teachers often feel overwhelmed and do not know what to do or whom to ask for help. They feel frustrated because they began this profession with enthusiasm, but long hours and having to comply with bureaucracy as well as spending time preparing classes makes them too tired to prepare imaginative, motivating lessons.
By the end of the week, they are exhausted, although they continue working for hours on the weekend to catch up on correcting and get a head start on the following week. Sometimes they feel guilty for not giving students their best. As a result, students start losing interest, and some begin to misbehave.
Many teachers begin to burn out. They live day to day trying to maintain balance; however, in the end their personal life and their health suffers. I speak from my own experience, since I have been there. I know others have, too.
On more than one occasion, you may have thought, «I would love to find someone who understands what is happening to me and shares how I feel, so that together we can find a strategy to move forward.»
The good news is that there IS such a person.
My name is Therese Kuettel.
In fact, there is a whole community of professionals in education who would love a change.
Why don’t we start the change?
Instead of waiting for a magical solution, we are the ones who can start this journey towards classes that incorporate activities that cater to each student’s learning style while respecting their individuality. Through these activities, students learn to use simple resources that make their learning easier and more long-term and increase their self-esteem and confidence.
How can you give your classes a boost?
By simply tweaking your techniques!
After spending over forty years in the field of education, I have experienced different teaching contexts and encountered a variety of difficulties with all kinds of groups. In my book Triple-T Teaching, I have explained 18 dynamic techniques to make the classroom environment livelier and more constructive, involving students in their learning with activities and projects that interest them.
The thrill of teaching will be restored with just a few small adjustments to your day-to-day classes, and more importantly, your students will find new motivation to learn.
Imagine for just a moment...
Classes in which we can find:
- An environment where students dare to propose their own ideas without fear of being judged, or dare to admit that they are lost and need help.
- Motivated students, willing to collaborate and contribute their talents to their team. Students who experience the transformation that comes when the finished project exceeds their initial expectations.
- Enthusiastic teachers who accompany and guide their students and then celebrate their progress.
- An overall sense of well-being shared by everyone due to the constant positive “flow”.
How is it achieved?
With the Triple-T Teaching movement found in my book, of the same title.
What is Triple-T Teaching?
Triple-T Teaching is a movement that offers teachers a way to enhance their daily teaching. This movement came about through becoming conscious of the transformation that students experience when they see that their individual talents are essential to achieving a team project.
It took me several years to become aware of why this transformation was happening in classes like mine and not in others that used passive instead of active methodology. I finally realized that the key to these changes was for students to be involved in their learning, conscious of their strengths and able to use these talents in team projects.
Triple-T Teaching gets its name from the three pillars it is based on:
Talent
Students must become aware of their individual talents.
Team
There must be opportunities in class activities for students to apply them and for students to work together.
Transformation
This comes once they have put their talents into practice. Students are conscious of how their contributions are essential to achieving the final outcome of the activities. They feel empowered. Their self-esteem flourishes. They want more.

Who am I ?
As a student
During my early school years in Minnesota (USA), I really enjoyed my classes and felt that my teachers really cared about me.
When I studied at the University of Minnesota, I soon became bored and just couldn’t pay attention due to the passive methodology.
Once I arrived in Spain, I tried four academies to learn Spanish. However, traditional teaching made me lose motivation and give up.
I was starting to realize how great an impact active methodology had on learning.
As a teacher
I have 4 decades of experience and training as a teacher. The schools range from primary schools in the US to private and public schools in Spain. I even passed the Civil Service exam in Madrid and became a civil servant!
As a mother
Two of my three children were failing some high school subjects while experiencing the same lack of motivation as I had. Could it have been the result of passive methodology?
