Teach Me Your Ways

by Nwanneka Tesy

Teach Me Your Ways is a practical, experience-driven podcast about the real world of online teaching such as: what works, what doesn’t, and what I’ve learned from actually doing it. I created this podcast to share the methods, lessons, strategies, and even the mistakes that have shaped the way I teach students virtually. Online teaching can look simple from the outside: open your laptop, start a video call, teach the lesson, and you're done. But anyone who has actually taught online knows there is much more to it.How do you keep a student engaged through a screen? How do you structure a lesson when you aren't standing in a traditional classroom? How do you figure out what a student actually needs? What do you do when a student is struggling, distracted, unmotivated, or simply doesn't want to participate? How do you communicate with parents, create meaningful lessons, establish expectations, and still make the experience enjoyable for your students? That's what Tea

Episodes

  1. Everything Is Falling Apart… Cool, Cool, Cool.

    Welcome to the Season 1 finale of Teach Me Your Ways. In this episode, I take a comedic but honest look at those moments when it feels like everything is failing at once; deadlines stacking up, plans falling apart, and motivation disappearing. From working three jobs in college, to high-pressure...

  2. Caffeinated and Professional (Even When the Vibes Are Off)

    Sometimes the problem with a team isn’t the work. It’s the energy. In this episode, I talk about what happens when you’re part of a team where everyone is capable, everyone is doing their job… and somehow, nobody really gets along. No drama, no chaos; just tension, awkwardness, and vibes that…

  3. Group Projects Should Come With a Warning Label

    Let’s be honest. Group projects are not about teamwork. They are about survival. In this episode, I’m talking about the universal experience we’ve all had: one person does everything, one person disappears, and one person suddenly becomes very active the night before it’s due. From college group...

  4. Emails That Don’t Give Me Anxiety

    Let’s talk about emails because nothing spikes stress faster than seeing “Just following up” in your inbox. In this episode, I break down how I learned to write emails that actually get responses without spiraling into overthinking. From emailing professors as a working college student, to...

  5. Studying on Empty (When You’re Tired, Busy, and Over It)

    Let’s be honest! Most studying doesn’t happen when you’re well-rested and highly motivated. It happens when you’re tired, busy, and already over the day. In this episode, I share how I learned to study effectively during seasons when my time and energy were limited—especially in college while...

  6. Late Work, Late Life! Making Things Less… Late

    In this episode, I break down what years of teaching, being a student who worked multiple jobs, and working in banking taught me about deadlines. Spoiler: most people aren’t late because they don’t care. They’re late because they’re overwhelmed, underestimating time, or trying to do too much at...

  7. ‘Three Jobs, One Brain, Zero Sleep’

    There was a season of my life where I worked three jobs, went to college full-time, and still had the audacity to think I could “just power through.” Spoiler alert: I was tired. All the time. In this episode, I talk about what that season actually taught me not just about money, but about time,...

  8. The Art of Not Falling Apart

    In this episode, I’m talking about the art of not falling apart not because I’ve mastered it, but because I’ve practiced it a lot. From being a college student working three jobs, to working in banking where everything had a deadline and a consequence, to teaching in a classroom where chaos is...

  9. How To Fake Being Organized(Until You Actually Are)

    Let’s be clear: I was not born organized. I just learned how to make chaos look intentional. In this episode, I’m talking about survival organization: the kind you use when you’re working multiple jobs, going to class, teaching students, or sitting in meetings pretending your life is together. As…

  10. Episode 1: The Chaos Starter Pack

    Welcome to Teach Me Your Ways where six minutes of controlled chaos somehow turn into life advice. In this first episode, I’m breaking down my personal Chaos Starter Pack, and yes… it starts and ends with coffee. As a teacher, former three-job college student, and someone who worked in banking...
