Jan 2023, What you should but don’t know about investing your money as a teacher:

  • why should we invest our money?
  • why don’t people invest their money more?
  • what mindset blocks do educators have that make it difficult to make effective financial decisions.

ELT Under the Covers

Nicola started out as we normally do, trotting across the globe with an MA in English Language Teaching in hand, but she quickly branched out as an educator going behind the scenes into academic management, and becoming a published writer with a concentration on graded readers. She then went one step further and transferred her skills from teaching into copyediting, content writing, and her latest venture investing where she helps us prodigal teachers get to grips with our financials.
