Grow Your Language Teaching Business the Smart Way
Tired of crazy hours and unpredictable income from 1:1 lessons? Learn how you can work less, make more and enjoy freedom, creativity and peace of mind.
How do you feel when you teach online?
Are you…
the Hare,
…hopping from one lesson to another with no strategy in mind, working too fast and too much, feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the next day?
or the Turtle,
…working steady but smart, thinking about every step, following a long-term strategy towards fewer hours and a steady income?
The truth is, the hare never wins
Cramming hours, hustling more clients, never taking a break. You know it yourself: This isn’t leading you anywhere. But what to do instead?
How could you work fewer hours but get a steady income?
How could you grow your teaching business but also allow yourself to breathe – spend more time with your family, travel, or resume those painting classes you had to give up?

My name is Elena Mutonono. I help burned out online language teachers move beyond 1:1 Skype lessons and create a smarter system where your clients want you to teach them on your terms.
I went from making $0 in January 2016 to $2,000 per month within half a year without worrying about 1:1 students.
Since then, I have taught dozens of language teachers how to work small but smart and create a sustainable business that not only pays the bills but brings you joy and fulfillment.

- Elena helped me understand what a niche was and how to niche beyond the broad topic of Business English.
When I first met Elena, I wanted to move my in-person language coaching to a virtual format but I had no idea how to get started. Elena helped me understand what a niche was and how to niche beyond the broad topic of Business English. The idea of specializing was frightening at first but Elena was right. Through working with her, I built a sustainable business that incorporated my love of language + career branding skills to help corporates + corporate misfits craft narratives that help them land their dream jobs.

- Elena helped me to adjust my mindset and be more realistic about my goals.
When I first started working with Elena, I was spending a lot of time on things that weren’t really helping me progress in my business because I didn’t have a grasp on the big picture. She really helped me to focus and to see how all the parts of my business should work together to create an effective sales funnel. She helped me to adjust my mindset and be more realistic about my goals. I have learned a lot both from her coaching and also from her example of how to run an effective business.
