The Present Teacher Circle
Streamline Your Systems. Expand Your Impact. Reclaim Your Time.Â
I'M READY!Being a new teacher can feel overwhelming.
Â
👉Do you dream of being like that teacher down the hall who leaves at contract time without taking work home?
👉Do you feel like you’re constantly playing catch-up with lesson planning, grading, or classroom management?
👉 Are you tired of staying late or bringing work home just to feel “caught up”?
👉 Are last-minute grades keeping you up before report cards are due?
👉 Do you wish you could leave school at contract time without a pile of work waiting for you?
👉 Wouldn’t it be amazing to plan weeks in advance instead of scrambling the night before?
Here’s the truth most teachers don’t understand: You don’t need years of experience or a massive following to run a smoothly operating classroom.
The days of struggling to balance your workload as a teacher? They’re over.
 ✨ You walk into your classroom each morning feeling prepared, calm, and confident. No more scrambling or last-minute planning.
✨ Your systems run like clockwork, automating the daily tasks that used to drain your energy. Now, you have time to focus on what truly matters—your students, your passion, and your life outside of teaching.
✨ You leave at contract time, knowing everything is done. No piles of grading waiting at home, no Sunday scaries—just time to be fully present with your family and friends.
✨ The freedom you’ve created allows you to pursue your dreams—whether that’s starting a business, traveling more, or simply enjoying a guilt-free break.
✨ You’re not just impacting your students—you’re modeling what’s possible. Your ability to set boundaries and thrive in your career inspires them to do the same in their own futures.
✨ You show up as the teacher, parent, partner, and friend you always wanted to be—present, mindful, and fulfilled.
✨ And most importantly? You’re building a legacy—not just in your classroom, but in your life.
Hi, I’m Helena!
Through my own teacher journey, I’ve learned that implementing systems in the classroom frees up your time and energy, allowing you to make an even bigger impact after hours. The possibilities are endless.
Creating financial freedom outside of the classroom doesn't have to be hard—it can be easy and effortless.
I went from being a burnt-out first-year teacher, wondering if I could even make it through, to thriving as a full-time teacher and a full-time coach for new and first-year teachers online. Since 2020, I’ve helped thousands of teachers take back their lives, fall in love with teaching again, and earn the income they deserve.

“Thank you so much!!!! Your advice has really helped me. I started 2 days ago, so I’ve been learning as much as I can and trying to get caught up since students started 3 weeks ago!! Today I spent all class teaching class discussions and modeling them and having them practice several times. It really helps to show them what I expect and hold them to it as I know you’ve talked about!!”Â
