Case Study
Member schools that built things I hadn’t taught them
100%
attendance across all 6 sessions
I trained teams of 2 to 5 people from member schools of a global association of language centres: marketers, teachers and directors, all working at different schools and starting from very different places.
Each session focused on their real work: marketing, lesson planning and admin. By the end, the schools had a website chatbot answering customer service enquiries, a full marketing plan and a rebuilt approach to lesson planning, all of which they kept using after the course.
The free introduction alone drew 54 sign-ups from more than 35 schools. I worked with several of them afterwards to help develop what they’d started.
“A huge thank you for such a hands-on and productive session – 10/10!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions school owners ask
Is AI (like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini) safe for lesson planning?
Mostly, as long as you follow 3 simple rules. First, a teacher should always check and adapt what it suggests, because AI can make mistakes, which it presents very confidently. Second, never paste in names, contact details, assessment results or anything else that identifies a student. Third, don’t paste whole pages from licensed coursebooks or exam materials, because your licence may not allow it.
It’s also worth checking your settings. At the time of writing (October 2026), the free and Plus versions of ChatGPT can use your conversations to train future models unless you switch that off, whilst OpenAI’s business plans don’t by default. There’s more in my answer to is ChatGPT safe to use in a small business? Other AI tools, such as Claude (by Anthropic) and Gemini (by Google), may have different settings, so it’s worth checking.
What can a language school actually use AI for?
The biggest wins are usually in 4 places: lesson planning and materials, marketing (social posts, course pages and flyers), admin and replies to student and agent enquiries. Used well, AI gives teachers and staff time back for the work that needs a human, whilst improving the quality and efficiency of their work.
Will AI replace our teachers?
No. AI can draft a worksheet in seconds but it can’t read a nervous student’s face, build a class’s confidence or know when to adjust the lesson plan to suit different students’ needs. What it can do is take repetitive preparation off a teacher’s plate, which leaves them more energy for the part of the job students pay for.
Can teachers and admin staff train together?
Yes and to be honest, it usually works best that way. When everyone learns together, your school ends up with one shared approach rather than a teaching team doing one thing and the office team doing another. The examples are tailored to each role, so nobody sits through material that isn’t relevant for them.
How much does AI training for a language school cost?
A programme for your own school starts from £3,000. The AI Opportunity Audit starts from £1,000 if you’d like a plan first. If your school belongs to an association, a shared cohort with other member schools starts from £800 per school. The final price depends on team size, scope and the preparation involved.
My prices are in pounds sterling (GBP), but I’m happy to invoice in any currency. For clients outside the UK, I convert the price at the exchange rate on the day I invoice. For example, at an exchange rate of £1 = €1.17, a programme for a school in Amsterdam would cost €3,510. There’s a fuller breakdown of the market in my guide: How much does AI training for a team cost?
We’re part of an association, can we train with other schools?
Yes. That’s exactly how I worked with member schools of a global association of language centres I worked with: each school sent a small team and everyone trained together. If you think your association would be interested, I’m happy to talk to them with you. Read more about AI training for associations.
Why it works
Your teachers are already using AI. But are they getting the most out of it?
If you run a language school, you probably know the feeling: your best teachers are using AI tools (like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini) for lesson planning; your marketing person has found an AI tool for social posts and the front desk is pasting enquiries into a random tool someone found online. Everyone is trying to help but nobody has checked if the output is right.
I’ve already trained teachers, marketers and directors from member schools of a global association of language centres, so I know the work that needs doing: the lesson plans, the emails, the course flyers and the enquiries that arrive at 11pm from 3 different time zones.
The training is built around your school’s real materials, so teachers leave with lesson plans they’ll actually use and admin staff leave with a set of skills and workflows that save them time every week.
If you take on seasonal teachers, the AI usage guideline your team writes can go straight into your summer induction pack, so July’s new starters follow the same rules as your permanent staff.
None of this replaces a teacher. In fact, it’s quite the opposite – the whole point is to give your team more time to do the most human part of the job: being in the room, teaching their students.
