Useful Sites for you to Browse
There are so many sites out there that can be useful for you to develop your teaching or to support your business - but we know that you can become so overwhelmed with the sheer number of websites. So we have selected a few that we have found to be useful in our journeys in our languages teaching businesses.
Teaching Links for inspiration and research to inspire and improve your teaching practice
Gianfranco Conti
Gianfranco Conti is an inspirational teacher educator and if you ever get the chance to attend one of his training sessions then it will be time and money well spent. We use lots of Cont’s activities in our worksheets
Nathalie Paris is a primary teacher who has created lots of great videos on her YouTube site which you can use in your classroom to stimulate your learners
Steve has co-authored books with Conti and these can be found on Amazon - his blog is full of great ideas that you can use in your classroom
Business links that I’ve found useful in my languages business journey
Tide Business Banking*
If you’re looking for a flexible business bank then Tide may be for you - even better if you use my referral code QNNRYG then you’ll get £50 when you open an account (I get £50 too - just for transparency)

Mint Business Club
Mint is a business club which is not like others - it is lovely and supportive and you can access lots of training once you become a member
Free to join the Facebook group but there is also a paid membership
Small Business Saturday
Don’t be fooled by the name - this is an all year round event website. It promotes small businesses in the UK and advocates for entrepreneurs (that’s what you are right?) in all regions and in all sectors. You get lots of support and information and can sigh up to a weekly newsletter.
Intellectual Property Office
Don’t forget you can’t just take images from the internet or use text that you find on a news website and use for commercial purposes - so to cover yourself check out what you can and can’t do on the UK government website. It also has information about trademarking your logos etc
Breakthrough Coaching
This is another great site if you’re looking for business development and coaching
Accelerator Coaching
If you’re looking for some business inspiration and coaching - this is a great site to look at
