If you’re an entrepreneur, I’m sure you can relate to having different iterations of your business.

For those that are new here, I’m a former public school teacher. I worked in a public school setting from 2005-2016 as a bilingual middle school teacher and a high school Spanish teacher. After a lot of thought and consideration, I realized the only way I was going to make a genuine impact on students had to be done outside of the system.

After resigning in 2016, I started out self-employed. Since I was bilingual, I had a background in both English as a second language and Spanish. With those skills, I became an independent contractor working for companies based in China and Taiwan. I taught English to both children and adults. It was an amazing experience. To make ends meet, I also tutored students locally in a variety of subjects ranging from Spanish to reading and writing. I interpreted at local medical facilities as well.

However, teaching students in China became the most lucrative because I could also recruit teachers and earn a bonus. Not only that, but it was a very fun and rewarding job. Since I became successful as both a teacher and a recruiter, I ended up creating an online course and coaching program that helped other teachers learn the ins and outs of creating an online teaching business. I established my LLC in 2019. Sadly, this industry eventually shut down due to some changes in Chinese law that forbade foreign teachers to work with students in China. I had to pivot in 2021.

I started teaching Spanish online. I created a highly successful Spanish class for middle school students and I realized I needed a team of teachers. That’s how Skillabration was created. Now we not only offer Spanish, but also French, Mandarin, Cantonese and American Sign Language!
