teach online

This episode is for my fellow teachers! In this episode we're going to delve into a topic which I get asked about A LOT! How did I turn from a depressed and shy girl who used to look at YouTube teachers with absolute envy while I wiped arses for a living in a care home... to starting my own online English teaching business, working only for myself, and growing a social media presence in order to help English learners around the world for free while I pay my bills and don't worry about trying to find work at toxic and underpaying English teaching companies anymore. Let's learn how to be a real "ELT BossBabe"! *cringe*
