Host Small-Group ESL Classes for Corporate Teams

Zoom for conducting live group sessions. LinkedIn for prospecting corporate clients. Calendly for scheduling. Teachable for hosting asynchronous course materials.

Instead of teaching individual students, sell small-group English classes directly to companies with international teams. Many multinational corporations, tech startups, and outsourcing firms need their non-native English-speaking employees to improve business communication skills. You'll design and deliver 4-8 week programs focused on presentation skills, email writing, meeting participation, or industry-specific terminology. With groups of 5-12 employees, you can charge companies $200-500 per session — far more than individual tutoring — while each employee pays less than private lessons. Build a polished proposal template, create sample lesson plans, and pitch HR departments and learning-and-development managers directly on LinkedIn. This model scales well because you can run multiple cohorts simultaneously and eventually hire other teachers to work under your brand.
