Thanks for letting me know. I've fixed it! :)
Leveraging AI in your one-person teaching business
Hi folks, Hope you're all having a good weekend. I am stopping by to remind you that we have an upcoming webinar this week. We will be talking about using a mega-prompt with ChatGPT to help you with the creation of a product or products for your one-person teaching business. Here's a little description: πŸŽ“ Studies indicate that if we understand why our learners are motivated and determine their optimal learning zone (ZPD), we can enhance both their motivation and their success. πŸŽ“ Traditionally, getting to know learners at this deep level has been challenging because it takes a lot of time and is quite complex. πŸŽ“ However, by using the latest advances in educational science and artificial intelligence, learning designers can quickly understand their learners better and tailor their programs to boost motivation and success. Join us to learn more about creating mega-prompts that provide detailed information for your teaching business.

Why you can't teach 1:1 forever
Starting your teaching business by offering 1:1 sessions is a good idea. You get experience, learn about your niche, and become confident in helping them. But then 1, 5, 10 years go by and you're still doing it. Then what? Burnout is quite common in our industry in large part because of the time we put into our craft. Not to mention looking into the future, thinking of retiring, and still having 1:1 Zoom sessions to pay the bills. The big unspoken secret is also that 1:1 classes don't serve our students best, either. In this session, @Andrew Woodbury and I will look at alternatives to only 1:1 offerings and how these can: ➑️ serve you better ➑️ serve your clients better ➑️ spark other ways you can grow your teaching business. Whether you're just starting and don't know where to start or already have your own clients, this is for you. Link to join πŸ‘‰ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KigxlZSiSDI

Finding YOUR Purpose
To succeed as a company of one (your teaching business), you have to have a real underlying purpose. Your why matters as an unseen but ever-present element that drives your business. So much so that Richard Branson once said, "Success is no longer just about making money or moving up the corporate ladder. More and more, one of the biggest indicators of success is purpose." In this short workshop, we will try to uncover the purpose of your teaching business - because your purpose is the lens through which you filter all your business decisions, form the tiny to the monumental. Join us this Wednesday, February 28th at 1:00 pm EST. Since this is a TAP-only session, you can try our 7-day trial here - https://www.learnyourenglish.net/tap-free-trial

Should we call students "students"?
I posted this on LinkedIn the other day and go two types of responses: 1. People who completely agree with the idea 2. People who don't No surprise, I guess 🀣 What's your take? Should we call students "students" or "learners." Does it matter? Should we reflect on our role in the learning process, and that we don't necessarily "teach" a language like other subjects? These are takeaways from our interview with the legendary researcher Bill VanPatten. Here's the post below: We shouldn't call them students. Call them learners. What they learn is beyond our control. These are some of the takeaways from our chat with the great Bill VanPatten this week. We'll have more posts and snippets coming out shortly, but this one caught my attention. He calls this the "Atlas complex." Where teachers feel they must do everything and anything to help students. And this is wrong. After all, in a language classroom - or via your own courses if you're selling them - the students' brains are equipped to acquire knowledge beyond our control. Hence the switch from "student" to "learner." They learn with or without us. Which also means we aren't the "teacher," but rather an "interlocutor." Which reminds me of what Paul Nation said when we interviewed him: "As a teacher, you've gotta believe that by NOT teaching, people can learn." And this really is it, isn't it? TL;DR: 1. Don't call them students; call them learners 2. Don't call ourselves teachers; refer to ourselves as interlocutors 3. We have very little control over what learners acquire
