    Episode 122 Your exit plan from an online platform to teaching language on your own terms

    Episode 122 Your exit plan from an online platform to teaching language on your own terms

    This episode is the result of discussions I had with my audience after I published episode 119 about online learning platforms. While some people shared their struggles and dreadful experiences with these platforms, others found great success and were grateful for the opportunities they provided. Despite the differing experiences, they all share a common desire: to build their own businesses and become independent. Even those who initially found success on online platforms eventually aim to transition to teaching on their own terms. 
    So, in this episode, I'll walk you through a step-by-step plan to transition away from online platforms and build your independent teaching business.
    Hit the play button above to find out:
    Why setting a deadline is crucialMy tips for making room to focus on your businessTwo important steps in building your business foundationThe biggest mistake teachers make when starting their social media marketing Ready to go fully independent and start marketing to get your own students in 6 short weeks?

    Episode 120 Joining and building successful communities in the language education space - chatting to Teresa Bestwick

    Episode 120 Joining and building successful communities in the language education space - chatting to Teresa Bestwick

    Having been both a language teacher and now a language teacher coach, I've come to realise that teachers absolutely thrive on connecting with each other. That's why I'm excited to have invited Teresa Bestwick, the co-founder of the TEFL Development Hub, to join me in discussing the importance of building and fostering communities for language teachers.

    In episode 120 of the Get Richer Teacher podcast, we delve into:


    The sense of isolation experienced by teachers, especially those engaged in freelance online work.
    The necessity for providing safe spaces where teachers can openly discuss their experiences and confront challenges.
    Three essential factors for successfully building and maintaining a thriving community.

    Be sure to tune in to the episode, and if you're looking to connect with fellow ELT professionals, don't hesitate to join Teresa's community on Facebook.



    Looking for a community to join? Check out Teresa’s TEFL Development Hub on Facebook or join the ‘Get richer teacher’ community here.
