Jeff Skipper’s Advisory Masters

Jeff teaches consulting, but the way he runs Advisory Masters also suits language teaching: free live events introduce people to his paid training, and his Consulting Fundamentals course combines 22 videos with 14 tools and templates that learners work through on their own.

Combine self-paced lessons with live speaking practice

  1. 1

    Choose your academy’s language

    Set your academy to any of 11 languages. Menus, buttons, and the student dashboard then appear in that language, so beginners can find their way around before they understand the language you teach.

  2. 2

    Pair lessons with conversation sessions

    Teach grammar and vocabulary in recorded lessons with downloadable worksheets and a quiz at the end of each level. Schedule live conversation sessions on your academy calendar with a video call link.

  3. 3

    Sell to students in any country

    Accept payments through your own Stripe or PayPal account and set prices in the currency your students use. Sell a course for each level or a membership that includes courses and weekly conversation sessions.

Planning your academy

Which languages can my academy use?

Your academy can run in Bosnian, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. Choose the language your students are most comfortable with. It does not need to be the language you teach.

Can I teach live conversation classes?

Yes. Add group classes to your academy calendar with a video call link, repeat them weekly, and sell them individually or include them in a membership. For private tutoring, sell 1:1 sessions with your booking link.

How do students in other countries pay?

Connect your Stripe or PayPal account and students pay by card or PayPal at checkout, in the currency you set. Stripe or PayPal processing fees apply to every sale.

How much does Forento cost?

The Free plan costs $0 and takes a 20% commission on your sales. Paid plans have no Forento commission: Basic is $15 per month billed annually and adds your own domain, Start ($39) adds a website builder, blog, and gamified community, and Scale ($119) adds content dripping, certificates, and Zapier. Paid plans include a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. Stripe or PayPal processing fees apply on every plan.
