Check out the featured products, but if you want to dive deeper, read the instructions below.
If you're working for a brick-and-mortar school or tutoring face-to-face and want to move online, I suggest purchasing the "A1-A2 level bundle" below.
If you're exhausted by 1:1 classes and want to work more sustainably, start with my Asynchronous Program in a Box, and then you can graduate to "B1-B2 level bundle."
If at some point you were a rockstar selling asynchronous programs and then something stopped working (it happens!), sign up for the Mindful Sales course to learn how to grow an audience of people ready to buy.
Learn the method behind the madness.
Students don't buy what we don't sell.
Most online teachers think that selling is a matter of luck or algorithm. As long as they "start posting," people "should" be signing up.
But a belief in online classes or courses selling themselves is a myth, much like "getting fluent in 1 month."
Just like there's a method for teaching languages, there's a method to selling, which means, you can learn it, too! So if you're tired of playing Russian Roulette, sign up for this class!
Less social media. More teaching. Claim your life back.

I've created a lot of courses over the years. You can now purchase them in bundles. Choose "A1-A2" if you teach face-to-face or are only exploring the idea of teaching online. Choose "B1-B2" if you want to migrate from a big platform and build a smarter business of your own.
Note that the "levels" refer to the part of your journey as an online language teacher and business owner and not to the level of students you're teaching. A1-A2 means you're just starting to teach online. B1-B2 means you've been doing it for some time but are now stuck.
who want to work online or online teachers with just a handful of 1:1 students who want to grow and become sustainable (i.e., your business level is roughly A1-A2). There are 7 products inside this bundle, all focusing on the basics of online language teaching, both in 1:1 and asynchronous settings.
Who have reached their earning potential and are exhausted by the ever-growing teaching load. This is a selection of 6 products to help you start making small steps towards a sustainable business, without huge investments of time or money. Most exhausted 1:1 teachers start creating online courses too soon and either never finish or are unable to sell them. This bundle shows you a different, more doable path.
The stories of some online language teachers whom I've helped to work sustainably. Will your story be here?
"I found Elena's work on instagram and it immediately resonated with my struggles and needs as a language mentor I had just started to put my hands on getting my online business started (2019), so I was all over the place. Thanks to Elena's versatile I have gained more: clarity, learned how to organize and structure my business in a smarter and more sustainable way, have more engaged followers on IG, learned that strategy matters the most, and I have to say that the times when I have felt like quitting, Elena's stories, which she beautifully relates in her books, have been the right message to inspire me to keep going and have patience while things work out.."
"Working with Elena has brought on a general makeover in every area of my life. I now feel light years from the overworked ESL teacher who was charging $20 an hour. My time is worth so much more and I get to charge up to 80 Euros for a live session with me.
I'm a different person after working with Elena. I had health issues and Elena worked around them transforming them in a strength and asset. She saw my potential and uniqueness when I didn't and she broadened my horizons turning me into an ambitious and creative entrepreneur.
Under her gentle guidance, I became an Italian coach capable of making 6 K on her first language retreat and selling it through Instagram."
"When I first met Elena, I wanted to move my in-person language coaching to a virtual format but I had no idea how to get started. Elena helped me understand what a niche was and how to niche beyond the broad topic of Business English. The idea of specializing was frightening at first but Elena was right. Through working with her, I built a sustainable business that incorporated my love of language + career branding skills to help corporates + corporate misfits craft narratives that help them land their dream jobs."
"Elena helped me with choosing the niche. She encouraged me to take the time and really dive deep into what resonates with me, my skills, and my story. I am really happy about the result because now I feel very empowered by my mission.."
"I have participated in Elena’s asynchronous group program “Mindful Sales”. It exceeded my expectations. Within a few weeks I got to a mindset shift which has enabled me to get into action more quickly than ever before. I am even surprised myself by how big of an impact this has on my business. Just showing up and moving forward despite initial doubts and hesitations, doing it anyway – that’s exactly what Elena’s valuable teachings do to you – you will see it yourself! Thanks to the program I reshaped my offer, got new clients and am not just willing to move forward, but I actually am moving forward."
"When I discovered Elena I was looking for a different, more scalable way to get my learners to actually speak (not just learn!) Italian and she didn't disappoint. Thanks to her guidance I launched my first programme which combined my passion for Italian songs and dance with speaking skills and... it worked! This gave me courage to bring more of my passions and quirks into my work as a language coach to find more of my "meant to be students" (as I now like to call them). I feel that thanks to the work I've been doing in finding my niche (following Elena's advice and workshops), I'm becoming clearer on what my niche is and consequently I don't feel anymore worried about the "competition". Rather, I feel now more confident that I can contribute to my community with my own unique blends of skills and talents."
ESL Fluency Teacher
"I'd been following Elena's work for years before I finally decided to join the Library. Since I joined, not only has my outlook on my business changed, but also my business itself: I've been able to be more present for my students, have created some fantastic products, have noticed changes in mindset, and have worked on the stories that had me tied to my own stories about money and responsibility. I have also made more money! I feel lighter, happier, and willing to do what I have always liked: serving my students to the best of my abilities. I strongly recommend you give yourself the chance to meet with Elena and a whole lot of teachers who are part of the community and enjoy being there. Believe me! I spent years thinking if I should spend money on the Library; what I did not know was that I was investing in myself!"
I joined the Library in September 2021. After following plenty of coaches and trainers, I found the one - Elena - who says it’s ok to turtle along, and what I’m doing is valuable even if I don’t build an empire in 3 days. So I stopped the pointless like-hunting on social media and started to go my own way.
The tutorials, workbooks, checklists in the Library are just awesome, and help me a lot in my professional and personal development. They help me find my own way in my business, and stay on track. I love the forum and the monthly live meetings, they are like a virtual teacher’s room where we can share our questions, struggles - and wins!
