Episode 119 Is teaching on Preply, italki or other platforms worth it

Get richer teacher with Ola Kowalska

In this day and age, learning languages is easier than ever. There are tons of free resources online, user-friendly apps that encourage students to be consistent, and online platforms that connect students and teachers from across the globe. These platforms are a great solution for teachers who find marketing themselves overwhelming. However, they are not free of flaws.

In episode 119 of the Get Richer, Teacher podcast, I discuss:

• the hidden costs of teaching on these platforms
• the illusion of safety and control
• the potential timeframe for transitioning to independence

If you’re considering joining these platforms or, alternatively, leaving them, this episode is for you.

And if you want to learn more about building your independent business and get updates on the podcast, make sure you join the ‘Get richer teacher’ community here.

Hey, I'm Ola!

For the last 3 years I have been helping language teachers and coaches like you build profitable, sustainable and enjoyable businesses. I used to be a teacher, a teacher trainer and even ran my own language school in the past, but I am now focused on coaching teachers full-time (and I love it!) So far I have helped over 600 language educators from all over the world and my mission is to see the world where teachers thrive, enjoy the hell out of life and their job and have a great impact on their students lives, mainly through getting better at marketing and selling fabulous language group programs and definitely without burnout or selling their souls.
