Elena helps teachers to work smarter, less, with more satisfaction, and get paid well for their work. She’s originally from Ukraine and started teaching online back in 2008. Two years later, she moved to the US and continued teaching online after work. In the first six months, Elena became incredibly busy, mainly gaining clients through worth of mouth. The problem with her online teaching job, however, was that it wasn’t very stable. Some months were super busy, but she hardly taught at all during the months of December and January. Her students were mainly Russian speakers, and when that market collapsed in 2014, she needed to look for other ways to continue her online teaching business. That’s when she started offering accent training to students in other markets, and she also started helping other teachers to work smarter. In this interview you will learn: – Why you first need to get clarity about yourself before choosing a niche – How to build an audience by connecting first – How to redesign your teaching business so that you can work smarter For the full article go to: https://langpreneur.com/podcast-14-elena-mutonono/ Elena's website: https://www.elenamutonono.com/ Want to learn how you can build a profitable online language business?
