Consultancy service? That’s going to cost a lot, right?
Not necessarily – ever wasted money on a website that didn’t do what you wanted it to do? Ever spent thousands on a publicity campaign that didn’t bring you new business?
Consultants can help you SAVE money by making the RIGHT decisions and avoiding expensive MISTAKES. Choose the right consultant, one who knows your business and your budget, and even in the short term, you can spend less!
Here’s what Daniel can do for YOUR language school business:
TRAINING AND TEACHER-TRAINING
Training can stimulate your staff, enthuse them with new ideas, make them feel involved, reduce boredom, and much more. It’s also an obligation for schools which are members of certain organisations, such as AISLI. But it does require an investment of time and effort on the part of a manager!
Don’t want to do your own training, or don’t have time? Why not hire a trainer to come to you? You can specify your own topic, or choose from a list of sessions.
Choose the right person for the job: besides being a rare mix of teacher and businessperson, Daniel has an RSA Dip.TEFLA (the predecessor to the DELTA), and spent time as a Trinity Cert.TESOL trainer and course director in London, along with training carried out in ADOS and DOS roles over the years.
With an extensive range of sessions ready to deliver, all you need to do is decide a date and time and agree a price. Contact us for more info about available dates and pricing.
- Various teacher-training sessions including topics such as: “Basic Teaching Skills”, “Teaching Writing”, “Teaching Listening”, “What is excellence in language teaching?”, “Teaching Speaking”, “Learning Styles and Expectations”, “Promoting Autonomous Learning”, “Teaching Pronunciation”, “Ten Ways to Be a Better Language Teacher”, and many more!
- Sales training for reception staff, managers, teaching management
- Basic management training sessions such as: “Managing people”, “ISO 9001″, “Getting Things Done”, “Using Budgets”, and lots more!

BUSINESS PLANNING/STRATEGY/CONSULTANCY
- Work too hard? Learn how to re-organise so you do of the things you enjoy and less of the things you hate
- Sales consultancy – show us how you sell, we’ll show you how to sell it better – following his own advice, Daniel increased sales of adult English courses over 20% in 2009/2010 – the year of the deepest recession in living memory. Can you afford NOT to learn this stuff?
- Business planning – want to be the biggest and the best? You need a plan – strategy and sales/costs forecasts for the next five years, just to start with. An accountant could do this for you, but what does your accountant know about running a language school?
