But through no fault of your own…
Up until now, the world hasn’t been prepared
for you to stand up and chase the big things you want
And because of that, there are a few unwelcome thoughts
that
language enthusiasts face when establishing themselves as
a teacher online
(and so if you’ve ever thought this, you are very, very
normal)
01.
The belief that you cannot be a good teacher
Listen, a pilot can study books as much as they want, but
they won’t become a licensed pilot until they actually
begin *flying* planes. And that’s the big setback with so
many other certificate programmes - they only teach,
without ever giving you protected “flying” time. This
doesn’t prepare teachers correctly, because learning and
doing are two
different ball games. So while gaining knowledge on
correct lesson structure, language analysis, and student
learning tendencies
are a big part of
it - the
implementing,
getting the
right feedback, and
implementing again is how you become a better teacher. And
without having this specific structure in your routine,
it’s no wonder that so many teachers don’t feel confident
in their practice. But when you’re able to incorporate
this in - you’re guaranteed to become a better teacher
very quickly.
02.
The belief that you don’t have a good knowledge of grammar
Here’s a comforting stat for you - 99% of native speakers
aren’t actually taught grammar knowledge - so no need to
ever feel behind on the subject. The truth is, to be a
good language teacher, you don’t need to have
encyclopaedic knowledge, instead, you just need to be able
to learn “as you go” (rather than needing to learn
anything upfront.) Because as you prepare a lesson, you
are able to research it, learn it, and
then teach it.
03.
The belief that you cannot be a good business owner
Shying away from this weakness is what puts so many people
in the low-paying trap of thinking they need to be the
cheapest option online in order to get paying students.
But when you can understand that running your solo
tutoring business is a LEARNED marketing skill that you
can sharpen today and over time - it makes your
high-paying & in-demand services not only possible,
but continually and consistently booked out. All on
your schedule and
at
your price.
04.
The belief that you don’t have the time
Often this is just an incognito fear of failure. Yes,
dreams take watering.
Yes, dreams take
commitment... But time will pass regardless, and we
believe that your time should be spent on something that
excites you,
supports you, and
makes you feel
wholesome.
Because in the end, stepping into work that lights you up
is a gift that will give you MORE time when it’s all said
and done.

and vow to make your experience and transformation

About Olly Richards & StoryLearning Co.
Hello - Olly here. I’ve been teaching languages to
hundreds of thousands of language enthusiasts over the
last two decades - and I’m thrilled you’ve found your
way to this certification page for CeOLT.
A quick Google search might show my name featured in
media like the BBC, The Independent, El País, or in
affiliations with the Open University, The European
Commission, and more, but what I’m most proud of is
something entirely different.
It’s in the satisfaction of helping language learners
follow their passion and fill their creative outlets.
It’s knowing that others have found the courage to
harness their passion for languages to help others,
switch careers, adopt new lifestyles, and create
change for themselves.
It’s in giving people the gift of communication,
scheduling freedom, an expat lifestyle (or any
lifestyle they choose), and total fulfilment
throughout their day.
When you join CeOLT, know that you are part of a
tight-knit group of passionate learners and
rising-star teachers, who can’t wait to share this
journey with you.
I’m incredibly grateful for each and every member,
and vow to make your experience and transformation
inside this programme one that you can package up
and take with you anywhere in the world.
Why choose the Online Teaching Accelerator when
there are other “big name” certifications out there?
Language teaching qualifications have been around for
years. In fact, it’s a big industry. But those
certifications are stuck in the past, designed for the
era where you get qualified, move abroad, and take a
job in a local language school.
But that type of structure creates so many gaps and
unrealistic assumptions about what people need
today.
Because the majority of us are not teaching in person.
We’re teaching online!
And for some of those “big-name” certifications who
are trying to stay relevant - it often just means
edited content and bandaged lessons, making their
material hard to follow and making it difficult for
those enrolled to find streamlined success.
And the final straw on this old conventional language
teaching course approach, is that you’re left on your
own to find work after you finish.
For all those reasons - that’s exactly WHY Online
Teaching Accelerator exists.
This certification is the first of its kind…
CeOLT, the proven certification from StoryLearning, is
designed for today’s way of knowledge consumption - a
world where millions of people across the world are
learning languages online.
This small-group and high-touch language teacher
training programme was created entirely for the modern
world, which includes not just the skills you need to
teach languages effectively, but you’ll gain the
business components and in-depth live feedback you
need to establish and grow your online tutoring
business. Never thought of yourself as a business
owner? This is your permission slip to think bigger
about your potential!
Our proprietary StoryLearning method - directly from
Olly Richards and StoryLearning, one of the world’s
foremost language teaching companies, provides you
with a new, fresh skill set. It opens doors to a new
approach to teaching. It equips you with the
understanding and ability to find & attract those
looking to learn languages to hire you. It gives you
the tools, resources, and confidence to build your own
language tutoring business from the ground up.
We’ll show you how to develop your own independent
online language tutoring business, so that you can
earn a full-time, part-time, or any-time living…
working from home + beyond.

Who is this for?
>>> This programme is for individuals who are
interested in pursuing their passion for languages by
teaching what they already know to others. You may be a
university student wanting to break the chains of a
“typical” career. You may be retired and looking for
change, excitement, or additional income. You may be
someone in the vast middle who knows they want
scheduling freedom and location independence as a staple
in their day... Regardless of your story and background
- you know you want more in your life.
You don’t need any prior experience in teaching or
in foreign languages - just your native language (or
a high level in another language) and a desire to
impact others around the world.

When does the course start?
>>> Right away! Once you enrol, you'll gain
instant access to the course so you can dive right into
lesson 1 and start developing your language teaching
chops.

Do I need to know grammar?
>>> Nope! We have designed this programme for
the student with zero grammar knowledge in mind. So if
you have some - great. If you don’t - perfect, we’ve
made the course for you. The components of this
programme are set up to train you how to teach grammar
in the broader sense. That means we teach you HOW to go
discover the grammar information you need, and then how
to teach it in an effective way.

I’ve been disappointed with other certifications
before. Why would this be different?

Why can’t I just figure this out on my own?
>>> The opportunity here is to be trained at
StoryLearning, which means not only do you have the
professionalism and confidence from being formally
trained by a top name in the language industry, but it
also guarantees that your students are going to benefit
a lot more not only today, but in the long run. The
ripple effect is that students stay longer, they refer
their friends, and you can charge much higher…
Furthermore, with the way the world has advanced -
teaching online requires a totally new set of
practical skills. We have slashed the learning curve
through a combination of our Storyleaning process
and our combined decades of success (and noteworthy
mistakes!), so you can reach your goals faster, with
more financial and freedom gain than ever going at
it alone.

I want to do this, but I have a full-time job and
am already stretched thin. How much time will this
take?
>>> I hear you. The thought of adding one more
“to-do” doesn’t feel good for anyone. But here’s the
thing... Learning the skill of online language teaching
+ building a profitable freelance business that frees
you up from that never-ending time crunch does take some
dedicated time of roughly 15 hours per module.
That adds up to a little over 200 hours to complete
the entire course.
The course has been designed to be studied part-time,
meaning there is no need to take time off work, and
you can learn from your home, with no extra expenses
(just a laptop, wifi, and your appetite for a new kind
of happiness!)
Some students choose to do the programme at an
ambitious pace, doing one module a week and completing
the programme in 16 weeks.
Others prefer a slower pace that fits better with
their existing life and work commitments. It really is
up to you!
When you enrol in the Online Teaching
Accelerator you get lifetime access. So you can go at the pace that suits you, without
fear of falling behind.
And on our end, we promise to make everything as
streamlined and valuable as possible to provide
you with an exponential payoff.
Become a confident language teacher for your future
students, working on your own terms, and loving what you
do.
If you’ve made it this far down the page, you might be
quietly asking yourself,
“Is Online Teaching Accelerator really going to
help me leverage my passion for languages, teach me exactly what I need, and give
me the tools to confidently build a career as a skilled online
teacher?”
Chris Jones - Your instructor in the OTA course
We’re just like you - we have a passion for languages,
for teaching, for lifestyle freedom, and for doing
work that excites us while impacting others.
So as you read through this information page, feel
comforted knowing that our biggest goal is to develop
you into a confident and successful online teacher.
We’ve laid out the exact steps to make it happen - so
if you have the desire and the vision - we have the
tools, support, and resources to make it happen. This
is our promise to you.
And unlike a practical university degree where you
learn theory and are unleashed into the wild world to
find jobs… here, you’re equipped with the skills to
build a business of your own, for a long, intentional
time.
