Mastermind groups for educators

Jan –⁠ June 2025

A loving and inspiring community

You will never feel alone with your problems again...

🌟 INVITE ONLY 🌟

After 20 years of freelancing in language education and going through many ups and downs, I offer you support with your teaching and business.

WHAT IS A MASTERMIND GROUP?

A mastermind group is a gathering of people who come together to help each other succeed. They share ideas, give advice, and encourage each other to reach their goals. You can solve your most burning issues by asking the group what advice they would give you and each group member chimes in with their own perspective and solution to your situation. It’s one of the most effective techniques for figuring out your problems in a very short period of time.

How can a mastermind help you this year?

The power is in the collective help of the mastermind group.
During every meeting you have 20-25 minutes dedicated just to you (Nina will watch the time closely so that everyone has enough space to talk).
You bring an issue that you are dealing with, we ask for more details, and then we offer our advice how we would solve it - you instantly have 6 opinions, tips and ideas, and you can pick what resonates with you the most.
You do not need to come with a question, you can just listen and help and learn from other people's stories.
If you are feeling alone, this a perfect opportunity to become part of a loving community.
Full-on continuous support for the whole academic year from Nina and the whole group.

WHAT TEACHERS AND SCHOOL OWNERS SAY ABOUT THE MASTERMINDS

“The mastermind group I'm a part of is such an amazing experience for me! I met other education business owners who live in different countries. Every meeting is a challenge for me: I learn to see my own offer from a different angle, explain it to others (which is a skill in itself!), and get honest feedback. And the WhatsApp support group is unique: we share materials and inspiration and we support each other. Thanks to the mastermind I'm much more active on LinkedIn, I'm planning to start a newsletter. I talked so much about the group and how inspiring it is that my partner even started looking for a mastermind himself!”

Katarzyna Ciszewska

“Nina is that excellent mix of someone who has years of experience in English language teaching plus mentoring education business owners and is still passionate, enthusiastic and driven. As a member of her Mastermind, I appreciate her powerful mix of compassion and clear-sightedness: if it needs calling out, she calls it. But she does it in a very safe, nurturing space. For highly effective business (and personal) growth, Nina is the real deal. I highly recommend working with her.”

Sandra Pyne

“Nina's Mastermind is the one self-care present I gave myself this year. As much as I love teaching and training, it feels great to be on the other side sharing worries, tips and support with such an excellent group of women! I love how direct and frank we are too - no need to butter each other up.”

Alena Konečná

”As a current member of Nina's mastermind, I can say that participating gives me focus, accountability and community. Identifying the one priority/challenge, brainstorming together and working on it until our next monthly meeting has accelerated my results. Even supporting the other members helps me, I realize things about my opinions, strengths and experience. Being in this mastermind saves me time in my business, it reduces my overthinking and I take more action. ”

Joanna Richard

”It's a magical and enriching experience and I'm so grateful I decided to join. We've had three meetings so far and I've managed to completely redo my newsletter and feel happy about it (finally!), think better of myself and my courses (mindset thing) and feel more confident about new names for my courses. Even though I didn't have a question once, I still benefited from the questions and insights of others.”

Alena Vágnerová

“Nina's mastermind feels like a regular dose of motivation and inspiration. Nina’s positive energy, enthusiasm, and passion are contagious. Right from the start of the mastermind call, her smile makes you feel better and in a couple of minutes, you find yourself in a better mood, even on a terrible day. During the mastermind session, you can share your questions, challenges, and difficulties related to your business with your colleagues, with someone who understands your job. It's way more helpful and practical than talking with your friends or family who might not get it. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this mastermind group and I highly recommend it.”

WHAT TEACHERS AND SCHOOL OWNERS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH ME

“I came to Nina with a lot of business questions as an English school owner. I needed clarity on how to run certain aspects of my business, staffing concerns, course materials, insecurity and lack of knowledge how to move forward with the next stage of business. During our one on one session my mind was blown away. All of her experience and knowledge and advice was worth gold. She comes with a holistic approach and, combined with her business brain, is just magical. After our talk she sent me clear guidelines on all my issues we had addressed plus a ton of extra information. She gave me power and clarity to make decisions and I feel mentally I've taken a huge leap forward knowing what I want and how to do it. Nina is an amazing business woman and mentor, and I can see why.”

Rebecca Ziętał

“I feel a huge sense of relief because thanks to Nina, I was able to put together the courses I dreamed of teaching. She calmed me down, helped me organize my thoughts, guided me on my path, and I think I avoided many mistakes I would have made without her guidance. In addition to good advice, she has provided me with nourishing videos that have helped me with pricing and improving my social media interaction. I recommend all teachers, who are unsure, to get at least one consultation. ”

Katarína Martinčeková

”I approached Nina with a request for coaching in a business I plan to start soon. I didn't know how to practically know where to start, where to continue and how to get customers. Nina's experience in the industry and in business is second to none. She is professional and her advice is always tailored. We discussed a lot of things I didn't even know I needed to know. Now I know from someone who has been through it, which path leads the fastest to what I want to achieve. That's priceless. It was worth it and I'm grateful that I was willing to invest in myself.”

Zuzana Delgado

“I wanted two things from the consultation: tools, advice and methods to better work with student motivation and goals, and to gain confidence in whether I was taking textbook-free teaching in a good direction. In a packed two hours I got both, plus Nina's infectious positive and supportive energy.
The consultation definitely lived up to my expectations, I have the action steps and know how to achieve them. Thank you!”

Barbora Ziková

“The best word to describe my consultation with Nina is magical. Nina's positive energy is infectious, melting away your insecurities and fears and helping you to see your true value. Not only is Nina one of the kindest people I've ever met, she has years worth of business experience behind her. It felt so wonderful to be listened to and I now feel confident about the next steps I need to take with my business. The consultation was truly magical. Thank you, Nina!”

Georgie Coles

“Not only did Nina help me to focus, she also shared with me her ups and downs, and this was so helpful. We discussed my visions and plans, my website, my visual identity and I am so grateful for the individual consultation. It was so worth it, I recommend it to everyone!”

Lenka Málková

“Consultation with Nina was priceless. We discussed so much – from keeping a mailing list, automatization, processes and working with a virtual assistant and delegating tasks to working with a baby. Thank you, Nina, I will probably be going through everything I was inspired by you for sooo long now!”

Kateřina Valentová

“I turned to Nina because I felt that she was one of the pioneers of a new style of English teaching in the Czech Republic. And since I wanted to go in this direction, I wanted to save myself the trial and error and not spend so much time searching for information. Nina was my shortcut to all the answers, links, tips for this way of teaching, always recommending specific resources and links that were right for me. She also helped me to decide what to work on the most, and I tested this style of teaching on myself. She taught me how to teach myself. And a lot has happened in the six months we've been working together. I got into the world of English without coursebooks. I understood how it works. I know where to find things. I feel supported that what I do has a system that I have been searching for so long.”

Kateřina Stránská

“Thanks to her own business experience and her excellent knowledge of customers using expert consultancy services, Nina helps me in situations I'm encountering for the first time, discusses new ideas with me and gives constructive feedback on them, refers me to interesting sources of information and useful apps, or connects me with inspiring people. I also really appreciate her advice and motivation with pricing issues. If you are excellent in your field, however, from time to time you feel that your business is over your head or that you are too alone to untangle things, get in touch with Nina. You definitely won't regret it.”

Jana Buchmannová

“I totally recommend a consultation with Nina because she knows what she is doing! I’m really bad at using charts, keeping records and goal setting. I wasn’t happy with the money I earned last year and I wanted to quit freelancing and find a corporate job. I didn’t know how to set goals regarding money and how to arrange my offers so I could be earning the money I’d like to have. Nina showed me how to go about it and I can’t be happier. I can finally see the numbers written down on a piece of paper and what to do to get these numbers into my bank account. She is a gem!”

Alena Vágnerová

“It was just what I needed. I’ve been exploring the ways of teaching without books for some time, I’ve felt it is something I really want to do. But I also felt insecure, always second-guessing myself. Nina assured me that I’m on the right track. She shared with me lots of practical tips on setting learning goals with students and on the coaching approach. She also pointed out some things that I can improve. It was very inspirational! Now I feel much more confident about the way I teach. Thank you, Nina, you’re the best!“

Olga Voltrová

“My consultation with Nina was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment thing. I was thrown into a situation I had no experience with, started walking in circles and needed someone to talk to. Nina reacted promptly and went through it with me and helped me settle my thoughts and find the way out. It is priceless to have someone who understands your business and is able to see into the issue… Thanks a lot!”

Karolína Rybková

“Nina’s ability to bring out the best in me as a new teacher shines in how patient, organized, planned and spontaneous, creative, and inspirational she is. And she can do the same for you! When I started out I had no idea how to organize my schedule, how to price my services, how to communicate with my clients and how to promote myself in very natural ways. She preaches what she lives and I look forward to a future learning more with her!”

Mary E. Amon

“I’m a Canadian ELT freelancer returning to work after four years of maternity leave here in the Czech Republic. Despite having completed an on-line business coaching program for ELT freelance professionals from around the world, I still had a lot of questions and ideas about ELT freelancing here in the Czech Republic that I wanted to discuss with somebody who had knowledge and experience here in the Czech Republic. Nina was absolutely the right person for this consultation! Our consultation gave me answers to my questions, reassured me about some of my ideas, and gave me some new resources to look into that support my development as a freelancer and help me get set up online. We covered a lot of topics during the consultation: getting set up to work online, transitioning from teacher to language coach, some of the technical aspects of working ‘živno’, and working freelance as a mom of a young child. After this consultation, I feel a lot more excited, reassured, supported, and confident about returning to freelancing and taking my ELT work in a new direction. Thank you, Nina, for sharing your experience, knowledge, insights, and enthusiasm. It’s empowering!”

Anna Ruzicka

“Nina is a person full of passion, who easily makes everyone connected to her become more successful. Her warm demeanour and friendly personality makes her among the best coaches and colleagues to work with. She is incredibly supportive and will get you where you need to be very fast. She is a skilled professional, both as a teacher and a business owner.”

Anita Adnan

“A heartfelt recommendation to you – if you haven’t had your individual session about your business yet with Nina, go for it. I felt my business got into a stage where it needed help from outside. Before this session my shoulders felt heavy and my brain was more like a ball of tangled yarn. And now? I feel as light as a feather! My ideas and thoughts seem to be so nicely organized before my eyes. During our session, I had space to talk about my issues, ideas and also worries. Nina made me feel totally understood, safe and together we have come up with some really great things. Nina just pointed a flashlight in the right direction and I managed to see it all in one beautiful picture. How grateful I am! Thank you, Nina.”
