• Episode 138 'More than a gap year adventure' - chatting to Martin Hajek about the wonderful side of working in languages
    Jul 29 2024

    Today I have a special episode for you. Recently, I had a fascinating conversation with Martin, an ELT professional with a passion for empowering language teachers like yourself.

    We talked about:

    • The importance of changing the perception of TEFL as a temporary, low-quality profession
    • Misleading information and inaccurate portrayals of TEFL found online
    • Martin’s book ‘More Than a Gap Year Adventure,’ in which he encourages teachers to take responsibility for their own development, offering practical advice on how to progress beyond entry-level positions and achieve personal growth.

    Tune in to the episode and don’t hesitate to share your stories about how other people perceive your teaching job – just DM me on Instagram :)

    Feel free to access the link above and get yourself a copy of Martin’s book!

  • Episode 132 How to build a marketing strategy for your group course
    Jun 17 2024

    After last week's discussion on why traditional language courses might be outdated (if you missed it - here’s the episode:Why traditional language courses don’t work anymore), this week we're diving into something more practical—how to build an effective marketing strategy for your group course.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Proof of Concept: Starting with one-to-one classes to better understand your target audience's needs and validate your course idea before transitioning to group courses.
    • Validating Your Course Idea: Creating minimal viable offers, such as workshops or beta versions of your course, to gather feedback and refine your course and marketing.
    • Nurturing Phase: Attracting potential students with specific content – nurturing them by addressing their problems, needs and aspirations.
    • Launching and Selling: The importance of a well-prepared marketing campaign and launch plan to ensure the success of your course.

    Ready to finally scale your business with a group program? You’ll be happy to find out that my Language Course Worth Gold challenge is back! It;s completely free to attend and starts on the 1st July! Sign up here.
