Struggling with your marketing?
If I only do marketing when there is nothing else to do, I won’t come very far. I really need to schedule things and follow my plan.

What is your favourite course in the Academy?
I think my favourite course in the Academy is the Goal Setting course.
It helped me think about what I want to achieve and where I see myself in a few years. It was the foundation of all the other steps I would take afterwards.
What is the best thing you learned in the Academy?
The best thing I learned in the Academy is that you need a plan and strategy to achieve your goals. If I only do marketing when there is nothing else to do, I won’t come very far. I really need to schedule things and follow my plan.
What would you say to future / new Academy students?
You should try it out if you are struggling with your marketing, or don’t know where to start, or simply want to refine it.
No matter at which point you are with your language business at the moment there will be something in the Academy for you. There are a lot of resources.

What is your favourite course in the Academy?
I loved the Big Business Review at the beginning of the year where you could both review the previous year and prepare for the next. It is beautifully thought with all the tiny details you might skip otherwise. I am looking forward to doing this again for the upcoming year. Similarly, the courses which give you a chance to stop and think where I am now and where I’d like to be are my favourites such as current situation analysis, marketing planning bundle... 😊
What is the best thing you learned in the Academy?
Firstly have a plan, apply it one step at a time and always write everything down. 😊
