Mireia Ibanez on making her Catalan programs more sustainable
OnlineBound with Elena Mutonono
After starting her business as a translator and proofreader, Mireia Ibanez has transformed her business. Now, she spends most of her time teaching and has made it more sustainable. First, she made a commitment to post every week on Instagram and soon had a following. Next, she started offering group classes and asynchronous teaching options. She had to overcome perfectionism and stop overdelivering, which took a lot of mindset work. But through coaching, she was able to make the changes she'd been seeking.

Aurelie Grihangne on shifting to teaching through voice chats in less than 1 year
OnlineBound with Elena Mutonono
In this episode, Aurelie Grihangne explains how she transformed her business in just a year. Like many teachers, she started teaching 1:1 on platforms that ate up all her time for little pay. She had a big audience on social media, but the long hours drained her energy and didn't leave time to create new content. She was struggling and didn't know how to move forward. After working with Elena, she started offering asynchronous programs and shifting away from 1:1. Now she has more time to experiment, create content, and her business is thriving!

Akvilė Dominyka on choosing to teach smarter when faced with a health challenge
OnlineBound with Elena Mutonono
In this episode, Akvilė describes how she made the transition from working 8-12 hours a day down to just 3-4 hours. She started feeling burned out and knew she needed a change. When she first tried working asynchronously, it was an experiment that she did as "something extra" on top of 1:1 classes. But then a health challenge prompted her to switch completely. Now she has the freedom to work when she wants and has time to experiment with new approaches to teaching and marketing. Self-coaching has been crucial to reaching her goals.

Maurice Jeths on what he gained by moving into voice-chat based teaching
OnlineBound with Elena Mutonono
In this episode, Maurice shares the transformation he's made from teaching 36 hours a week to just 24 with an asynchronous program. He's also got more energy and better hours. Before, he was stuck where many teachers are, selling his time and taking on as many students as he could manage. Now he can be more selective about who he works with. He's also been able to increase his income even though he's working fewer hours. And his students are more engaged and getting better results with his new approach to teaching.
