Every kid has ideas. Most never do anything with them.
This course changes that.

I believe inside every kid is an entrepreneur. Not necessarily someone who wants to be "CEO" but someone capable of seeing a problem, imagining a solution, and making it real.

In this course, your child will:
✓ Develop a real business idea: something they actually care about, not an abstract project
✓ Understand the market: Who needs this? Why? Who else offers it? Why would theirs be better?
✓ Create a simple business plan: the version that actually works, not 50 pages of jargon
✓ Design a brand: logo, name, story. Why their business exists (not just to make money)
✓ Build and test their idea: even at small scale, they'll see if people actually want what they created
✓ Learn to lead a team: we work in groups, so they'll experience real collaboration
✓ Use technology smartly: real tools to grow a business
✓ Get feedback from real entrepreneurs: not just from me, but from people building things right now

Why this is different:
Most "entrepreneurship courses for kids" teach theory. Here we build something real.
Your child won't just learn about entrepreneurship. They'll experience it: having an idea, developing it, sharing it, and getting genuine feedback.

Some will have a business. Others will discover it's not for them. Both are successes because they learned something real about themselves.

What they take home:
A complete business plan. A brand they designed. A presentation they delivered. And most importantly: the conviction that their ideas matter and they can make them real.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Group and individual work, flexible

For kids with big ideas and adults who want to nurture them.

Business Studies is more than memorizing definitions, it's about understanding how real organizations make decisions, manage money, and grow. I've designed this class as a practical, exam-focused guide that breaks the subject down into clear, manageable concepts and connects every topic to real-world business examples, so you don't just pass, you actually understand how business works.

With an MBA and a BBA (Hons.) in Finance, plus years of hands-on experience in business management, operations, and data analysis, I teach Business Studies for both UK and US curricula — covering IGCSE, O-Level, A-Level, AP, and university-level coursework. Whether you're preparing for an exam, catching up on tricky topics, or working through assignments and case studies, I'll tailor each session to your level, your syllabus, and your goals.

In this class you can get help with:

- Business environment and objectives — types of organisations, stakeholders, business aims, and the external environment
- Management and organisation — leadership styles, organisational structure, motivation, and human resource management
- Marketing — market research, the marketing mix, segmentation, and competitive strategy
- Operations and production — production methods, quality, supply chains, and efficiency
- Finance and accounting — sources of finance, cash flow, budgeting, costs, break-even, and interpreting financial statements
- Economics for business — demand and supply, market structures, and the wider economic context
- Business statistics and data analysis — interpreting data, charts, and key ratios to support decisions
- Business research and academic writing — structuring reports, case-study analysis, and referencing

My approach is patient, structured, and built around you: clear explanations, plenty of worked examples and past-paper practice, and a focus on building the confidence to tackle any question on your own.

I’m a certified Chinese teacher who enjoys helping learners discover that Chinese can be both practical and enjoyable. With a strong interest in communication and people, I am especially good at working with teenagers, building trust with them, understanding their learning needs, and encouraging them to express themselves with confidence. Rather than focusing only on textbooks and grammar, I like to make lessons lively, relevant, and connected to real life.

I also enjoy working with adult learners, whether they are beginners, professionals, parents, or simply people who have always wanted to learn Chinese. I understand that adults often have different goals, learning habits, and concerns, so I adapt my teaching style to each individual. I’m particularly good at teaching adults through sharing and meaningful exchange. I place greater emphasis on listening and guiding learners rather than relying on a one-way, input-based teaching approach. I hope to be not only a teacher, but also a supportive learning partner who helps you make steady progress—and enjoy the journey of learning Chinese along the way.
