What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am an ESL English coach. I work with clients who want to improve their English language skills. I work with a diverse set of students and have taught people from every continent. I work with beginners all the way to the highest level.
Tell us about yourself
I first started as an ESL teacher working for VIPKid. When China shut down foreign tutoring, I was one of the many causalities. I realized I had a passion for teaching ESL and wanted to continue helping others. It is always amazing when students/clients realize how much they have learned. I am helping people in real time!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being able to generate income doing something that I am passionate about.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Keeping the balance between generating new clients/students and serving the ones you already have.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Find something you love.
- Find someone to share the journey with and who will cheer you on.
- Keep your word and follow through with your promise.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Job satisfaction is priceless!
