Why do some teachers thrive as entrepreneurs while others struggle? We dissect this question.

Many teachers want to earn more, teach online, and gain more clients - but struggle to implement a sustainable strategy. We go over seven "Cs" to help.

In this episode, we dive into the "seven Cs of success for teacher entrepreneurship" and discuss:

• confidence as a skill rather than a feeling
• getting granular on goals
• strategizing goal achievement at both the macro and the micro
• reflecting on why having a business is (or isn't) a priority
• how consistency compounds over time
• why getting more clients is nearly impossible if you have nothing to sell
• normalizing struggle and self doubt
• first steps to starting your business in 2025

Your Action Plan from this Episode:

1. 1. Pick one “C” to focus on this week.
   2. Journal daily to track your progress and reflect on your journey.
   3. Share your experience in our community to inspire and be inspired.

If you use vocabulary and grammar tests, you don't teach communicatively. Audrey Rousse-Malpat tells us why.

Audrey Rousse-Malpat is an assistant professor in second language acquisition at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. She is also an entrepreneur and leads a teacher training company called Project Frans specializing in usage-based pedagogies for French as second language. She hosts the "Je suis #profdeFLE" ("I am a French language teacher") podcast.

Her research focuses on the AIM method: the Accelerative Integrated Method. In our conversation, she argues why it's a method education should adopt.

In our conversation, Audrey talks about:

• thinking like a scientist
• schools as factories
• AIM (Accelerative Integrated Method) and how it works
• feeling like the Marry Poppins of error correction
• structure-based teaching vs Dynamic usage
• why teachers need to relinquish control
• what went wrong with the communicative approach
• tips for implementing AIM
• multilingual approaches in higher education
