In this episode, I’m celebrating the incredible teachers I’ve worked with – clients who have built thriving, profitable businesses on their terms. They didn’t follow a cookie-cutter formula or try to be like everyone else. Instead, they found their own way of doing things, leaned into their strengths  and created businesses that actually work for them.

Here’s what you’ll discover in today’s episode:

  • Niches That Stand Out (and Sell! 🚀) – Whether it’s English for psychologists, business English for corporate women, or German for Greek speakers moving to Switzerland, these teachers have found a niche that fits them and attracts the right students.
  • Authenticity as a Business Superpower – They have built businesses by showing up as themselves – using their personality, unique experience and values to connect with their ideal students.
  • Overcoming Self-Doubt and Taking Action – Let’s be real, self-doubt comes for everyone. But instead of letting it win, these teachers pushed through, took action and built something they’re truly proud of.
  • Sustainable Growth, Not Overnight Success  – No chasing quick wins or following the latest trend. They are playing the long game – creating businesses that grow in a way that feels good and fits their lifestyle.

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.
