Teachers have TWO options: Earn more or leave ELT



What do toad venom, the 5 stages of grief, and precarity all have in common? Andrew, Leo, and Mike explain. 

Sustainability in the ELT industry as a teacher is pretty simple:

1. It is precarious

2. We all need to earn more money

3. It's unlikely to do that by having just one job.

In this episode, we discuss strategies to earn more by creating your own offer. Specifically, we dive into:

  • the 5 stages of grief pertaining to precarity

  • two paths teachers have: stay in ELT or move on

  • why earning more money is a requisite to stay in the industry

  • how to create a compelling offer that will actually sell

  • why focusing on lesson frequency is restricting

  • not creating solutions to problems no one cares about 

  • toad venom and how you can apply it to your teaching business
