I'm Charlotte and I'm a language trainer (English and French) living in Central California, USA. I joined this community because I've realized seeking out mentorship and a community is much better than trying to launch myself as an independent consultant all on my own!
I've taught French for two years in a university as a graduate student, English for one year in three French K-5 public schools, and I'm finishing up my first year as an independent contractor developing and running an online EFL-teacher training program for a group in France.
I feel like I have a good handle on the academic parts of teaching English (but always with room to grow!) - I've got "the academic qualifications," classroom and virtual teaching experience, a website/blog and linked in page I try to post on 1x/week, a few current clients, but I'm not sure how to keep the momentum going with the work I've already done over the last year to scale a long-term business I love. Any and all advice in this area would be greatly appreciated!
My business goals for the next 30 days (June 4-July 4) are to onboard three new clients for summer English or French training, revamp my website to incorporate some new branding I've had made, put together a program summary of what I've done over the past 8 months with my current client, and commit 12 hours minimum to building a course that I can offer on my website.
I'm not sure what all this community offers, but I'm excited to have found a community to learn from and contribute to on this journey!
Best and bon courage ("be of good courage"/cheers) :)
Charlotte
