Cole Bouchard Founder & Director of Studies

I've been teaching English since 2011, in Italy, Poland and the UK: general and business English, Cambridge, IELTS and Trinity exam preparation, and CLIL, with children, teenagers and adults.

Along the way I've been a Senior Teacher and a Director of Studies twice, recruited and trained teachers, supported quality assurance and managed busy residential summer-school centres in the UK. I hold the Trinity Diploma (DELTA level) and CELTA, and I'm a Cambridge Oral Examiner.

Before and alongside teaching, I managed teams and departments at Virgin Active in London and founded and still run my own business. So I know both sides: what teachers need to do their best work, and what it takes to run an organisation that treats them fairly.

"I built Mileo because I've seen good teachers underpaid, over-managed or left on their own, and students pay for lessons without ever seeing real progress. Mileo is my answer to both."

Why work with Mileo

The things teachers actually ask for.

Fair pay for good work

Clear rates agreed up front and paid on time. Great teaching is valued here, not squeezed for the lowest price.

Flexible hours, a real living

Choose when you teach: a few evenings or a full timetable. We work to give you regular students, so flexibility doesn't mean scraping by.

Support, not a script

Programmes give clear outcomes and material to draw on. How you get there in the lesson is your professional call.

Clear student goals

Know each learner's level, goal and history before you start. No more first-lesson guesswork, even when you take over from a colleague.

Progress you can see

Record skills as introduced, practising or secure. Students see their progress grow, and so can you.

Part of a community

Join a team of verified teachers to share ideas, materials and advice with, and a school that knows you by name.

Honest feedback, real growth

Observations and feedback designed to help you grow, not to catch you out. Development without anyone breathing down your neck.

Online tools that save time

Your students, lesson notes and progress in one teacher dashboard. Quick lesson records replace long reports, and independent checkpoints mean you're never the only judge.

A platform that supports teachers

Spend more time teaching, less time piecing systems together.

We want Mileo to give great teachers a professional home for online teaching.
