Hi, my name is Jill. I've been teaching one-to-one online for five years, I started out on italki but now mostly have my own, private clients. I would really like to start moving away from the one-to-one model and providing asynchronous courses but it feels like a long way off at the moment. My business goals for the next 30 days are to get a clearer picture of what I am going to offer and get a basic website up and running. I'm hoping to find a community here of people on similar journeys. At the moment I don't know anyone else in a similar career.

Hello everyone, I am a teacher entrepreneur working with Spanish speaking adults at beginning and low intermediate levels. I love experimenting with flexible delivery methods to allow my students to improve their English listening and speaking skills at any time of the day, even if they just have a few minutes. This is my 4th year running my own business but I feel like things are just starting to fall in place--it takes longer than you think to figure out what works, because first you have to find a lot of things that don't! I would enjoy connecting with some of you who are just getting started--I really love encouraging new teacherpreneurs in their journey!

I'm Charlotte and I'm a language trainer (English and French) living in Central California, USA. I joined this community because I've realized seeking out mentorship and a community is much better than trying to launch myself as an independent consultant all on my own! I've taught French for two years in a university as a graduate student, English for one year in three French K-5 public schools, and I'm finishing up my first year as an independent contractor developing and running an online EFL-teacher training program for a group in France. I feel like I have a good handle on the academic parts of teaching English (but always with room to grow!) - I've got "the academic qualifications," classroom and virtual teaching experience, a website/blog and linked in page I try to post on 1x/week, a few current clients, but I'm not sure how to keep the momentum going with the work I've already done over the last year to scale a long-term business I love. Any and all advice in this area would be greatly appreciated! My business goals for the next 30 days (June 4-July 4) are to onboard three new clients for summer English or French training, revamp my website to incorporate some new branding I've had made, put together a program summary of what I've done over the past 8 months with my current client, and commit 12 hours minimum to building a course that I can offer on my website. I'm not sure what all this community offers, but I'm excited to have found a community to learn from and contribute to on this journey! Best and bon courage ("be of good courage"/cheers) :) Charlotte
