Mireia Ibanez on making her Catalan programs more sustainable
April 9, 2026
After starting her business as a translator and proofreader, Mireia Ibanez has transformed her business. Now, she spends most of her time teaching and has made it more sustainable.
First, she made a commitment to post every week on Instagram and soon had a following. Next, she started offering group classes and asynchronous teaching options.
She had to overcome perfectionism and stop overdelivering, which took a lot of mindset work. But through coaching, she was able to make the changes she’d been seeking.

About Mireia Ibáñez
Mireia Ibáñez is a Catalan teacher, translator, proofreader and writer. She started her online teaching business in 2023 as a side hustle to make ends meet as a freelancer, but she quickly saw how much she enjoyed online teaching so she went all in and opened an Instagram account in January 2024 to build community and connect with new students. One year later, she moved away from online teaching platforms and is running hybrid Catalan courses, with over 40 students currently working with her. Right now, teaching is her main source of income and she is moving towards more sustainable and efficient ways of sharing her knowledge and love for the Catalan language.
