What you should say instead of 'I teach English'

Описание: If you're a freelance language teacher and your answer to “What do you do?” is “I teach English,” (or another language) then we need to talk. In this video, I’ll show you why that isn’t really an offer — and what to do instead.

You’ll learn:
✔️ Why “I teach English” keeps you invisible
✔️ The difference between an activity and an offer
✔️ How to package and position your work so clients see the real value

When you stop selling lessons and start selling transformation, you open the door to consistent, right-fit clients who actually value your work.

📌 Next up in this series: the anatomy of a compelling offer — with a real example from my Designed to Flourish programme. Subscribe and don't miss any of the series.

October 15th 2025 at 9.30-10.30am UK time or 4.00-5.00pm UK time

Hi, I’m Rachael. Like many in our field, I didn’t grow up dreaming of a career in language teaching — but I fell in love with it because of two things:

❤ The chance to work directly with people and see them change their lives for the better
❤ The inspiring colleagues I met as a teacher, trainer, manager, and materials writer

Now, as a business and mindset coach for freelance language teaching professionals, I get to bring those two passions together — supporting individuals and drawing on decades of experience to make a real impact.

What frustrates me about our profession is how often talented teachers are undervalued and underpaid, sometimes working themselves into the ground just to stay afloat. That may feel doable in our twenties, but it’s not a sustainable way to build a career — or a life.

I’m here to challenge those low expectations and show language teaching freelancers that there is another way: one where your business works for you, financially and personally.

⭐ Over 30 years in the language teaching industry
⭐ 18 years running a thriving small business
⭐ Training in business strategy, organic marketing, social media, and copywriting
⭐ Qualified psychotherapist, counsellor, and coach

This unique mix means I don’t just understand the language teaching world — I know how to help freelance professionals build businesses that are sustainable, profitable, and fulfilling.

My mission is simple: to help you earn more, work less, and live more fully.
