“I’m now running a business that’s rewarding both emotionally and financially”

Aligning my social media, my blog posts, and my website language with my niche has been life-changing and transforming. I am now able to work less, attract my ideal clients, sell asynchronous programs and membership, and put both of my kids to bed every night, instead of being stuck in front of the computer every evening. In the past, I did “online teaching + random posting,” now I’m running a business that’s rewarding both emotionally and financially.

“This summit was focused on one specific thing, not just general online teaching”

This summit was focused on one specific thing, not just general “online teaching,” so it was a lot more actionable and useful. The format was awesome. I loved hearing the presentations from the 4 experts on each thing, and the personal stories were great, too. Even though I know almost all the interviewees, it’s been really useful to listen to their journeys. I got a lot of ideas from them.

“This event helped me build my personal brand”

This summit was an idea-generation engine: ideas while watching presentations, ideas arising from Q&As, ideas I come up with while working through the workbook. And I can start implementing them now, without having to wait to create a course. This event and its materials helped me realize that building a brand is more than making a course or a service package. It’s about discovering yourself (in your teaching, in particular), about telling your story (not just giving lessons), about finding my audience and building a relationship with them. It can’t help but be personal.

Your hosts

Online Teacher Summit 2021 is hosted by Elena Mutonono and Veronika Palovska.

Elena is a seasoned business coach who helps online language teachers move beyond 1:1 lessons and create a smarter system that lets them teach on their own terms and guarantees a stable income. You can read her blog at elenamutonono.com or listen to her OnlineBound podcast.

Veronika is a designer, brand strategist, and the founder of Do You Speak Freedom, a blog for online teachers who want to build an independent business instead of selling their souls on online teaching marketplaces.

Both of us have taught English offline and online, burned out, and tried a variety of solutions to build something more sustainable.

In 2016, we teamed up to write a book for online teachers called Opted Out of the *Real* Job, and since then, we have co-created a number of books, online courses, and live events for online teachers and coaches.

Since 2017, we’ve also been hosting the Smart Teacher’s Library, a community and membership site for online language teachers.

We’ve been hosting the Online Teacher Summit together every year since 2019.

Elena has created this Summit’s theme and program, is one of the main speakers, does the interviews and mini-workshops, and runs the hot seat. Veronika is the author of the Summit’s workbook, branding and design, and takes care of the technical background of this event.
