Thinking about hiring a business coach to help you grow your language teaching business? With so many promises of six-figure months, passive income, and working from the beach, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype. But not all coaching is equal.
In episode 161 of Get reacher, teacher podcast, I break down the biggest red flags to watch out for – so you can invest wisely and avoid the traps.
Key Takeaways
- The problem with income claims – Promises like “Charge $200/hour!” or “Make 10K a month!” sound great, but what’s really behind them?
- The values misalignment trap – If a coach is all about luxury, beaches, and designer bags, but you care about freedom and stability, they might not be the right fit.
- The danger of blindly following someone else’s path – Just because a method worked for one person doesn’t mean it’ll work for you.
- The role of a real business coach – A coach should guide you, not sell you a magic fix for your business.
At the end of the day, business coaching should help you build something sustainable and aligned with your goals—not just look good on paper. Listen in, think critically, and make choices that actually serve you.

Hey, I’m Ola!
For the last 3 years I have been helping language teachers and coaches like you build profitable, sustainable and enjoyable businesses. I used to be a teacher, a teacher trainer and even ran my own language school in the past, but I am now focused on coaching teachers full-time (and I love it!) So far I have helped over 600 language educators from all over the world and my mission is to see the world where teachers thrive, enjoy the hell out of life and their job and have a great impact on their students lives, mainly through getting better at marketing and selling fabulous language group programs and definitely without burnout or selling their souls.
