Interview Takeaways

Making Mistakes

Teaching English online there for those who commit to it. Yes, you’re going to make mistakes at first. Who doesn’t?

The key is to take action and learn as you go.

Vanessa also talked about the importance of taking courses (she is a TEOC member, after all!) and learning what you need to do to get this right.

Safe Environment

Vanessa’s goal is to give her learners a safe environment. A bad comment on one of her videos isn’t the end of the world and she’s surprised by the lack of nasty, YouTube style, comments.

She’s also a serial banner!

Getting Students and a Clear Marketing Strategy
