Let me introduce myself
Hi! I'm Gina.
I started my career in ELT as a qualified English language teacher and worked in language schools in different countries for ten years. Then I started working in educational publishing in ELT and was an Educational Consultant for various publishers including Oxford University Press. In 2018 I gained a marketing qualification as a “Social Media Marketing Specialist” from Europa Innovation Business School and started my journey in digital marketing.
My ELT story so far
I’ve been in the language school sector for over twenty years now and have had the privilege to experience it in various roles: self-access centre manager, project manager, sales and marketing consultant, and teacher trainer.
During the pandemic, I saw many language schools struggled to find ways to attract new students and many turned to social media with little or no success.In my conversations with directors of studies and school owners, I could sense the frustration with social media results and digital marketing.
In 2021, I decided to help these schools by blogging about social media marketing and education trends. The blog bridges the gap between ELT and marketing and positions itself as a specialist blog in digital marketing for language services. My blog soon became an inspiration and a reference for language schools to promote their language services.
In 2022 I became an independent ELT Marketing&Language Schools Consultant. Today I help language schools learn about social media marketing, sales strategy and course innovation to build brand awareness and increase enrolments. I offer training, professional talks, tailored strategies and consultancy.
Here's what makes my services unique
My expertise in the ELT market combined with my consultative sales and digital marketing skills are an invaluable asset I can bring to language schools that want to thrive in a competitive market. Underpinning my work, there is my passion for quality education and my strong desire to see language schools continuing to transform people’s lives through English language teaching.
On a personal note
I live in Treviso, Italy with my husband and two children. In my free time, you’ll find me gardening or having a coffee in the sunshine. When I’m not in Treviso I’m somewhere in nature, either on the Dolomites or at the seaside.
