Five years ago, I started my business helping introverted non-native speakers learn to communicate confidently in English. I’d been teaching English as a second language since 1996, and as a military wife who moved frequently, I needed a business that I could do from anywhere. That’s how I got started working one-on-one tutoring people online.

There’s a limit to how many people you can teach, working as a private online tutor, so I was always thinking about ways to scale so I could grow my income. I knew I wanted to start some kind of school eventually, and in 2016 I did when I launched my course, Fluency School!

There was one big problem still: Because of the way I designed the course, I could only accept a limited number of students. It got to the point where whenever I launched, the course would sell out in a few hours. While that was awesome, I wanted to help more people still. I just didn’t know how to scale without sacrificing quality.

When I joined Digital Course Academy®️, I was looking for a way to scale my course while making it better. The program gave me a clear, wonderful plan that helped me do just that.

I was scheduled to launch in April, but when the Covid-19 crisis started, I was nervous. I didn’t know what to do, but Amy did a 30-day series of live presentations that walked us through how to launch compassionately during a crisis. That series gave me the confidence to move forward.

I doubled the capacity of my class and went forward with my April launch. It sold out in 14 hours. I made $38,000 from the students who paid in full and still have income coming in from the students who opted for the payment plan.

Everything is working. My students are engaged and getting results. And now I know that when I launch again in autumn, I’ll be able to increase the capacity of my course even more.

I took online courses in the past that left me feeling disappointed, but DCA is far beyond what I hoped it would be. Amy doesn’t hold back. She is willing to share all of her knowledge with her students.

And it isn’t just for beginners. Even if you already have a course, it can offer you so much value. Amy helped me completely rethink my course.

Before I felt like I had a job, and I was doing everything I could to make it work. Now I have a business. I have 5 employees. I’ve built an amazing community. And, I’m more fulfilled than I’ve ever been. Thanks, Amy!
