Chris Aldridge

I discovered Chris through a podcast while seeking guidance to grow my ESL tutoring business. His personalized advice and practical tips on identifying my ideal client and automating processes like scheduling and payments have been game-changers. Chris's coaching helped refine my pricing strategy and craft more engaging, professional emails. I've already recommended him to other tutors because he genuinely cares about your growth and success, offering solutions that are both effective and actionable. My experience with Chris has been incredibly valuable, and I believe he can help other educators expand their businesses too.

As a solo entrepreneur, making my own website with limited resources is a big challenge. Chris helped me see both its strengths and weaknesses, with a nice mix of encouragement and very practical action points. Thanks to that, I have a clearer picture of how to structure and present my web content. I even got some copy adjustments delivered to me! I highly recommend this service to anyone who is unsure about how to improve their website.

Chris has provided clarity and an action plan, all while cheering me on. He's spot on when it comes to identifying your shortcomings. His observations are very valuable and I feel supported every step of the way. Thank you Chris!

I booked a call with Chris on short notice, but he didn't wait until the call to understand exactly what I needed. He asked several questions beforehand to pinpoint my pain areas and clarify my goals so he could prepare for our conversation. During the hour we discussed my game plan for moving forward, Chris wasted no time. He provided insightful questions that helped me find my niche and explained the exact steps to transition my students from the platform I was using to my new personal website. Before our call, I was incredibly worried and overwhelmed by this huge task. However, Chris's calming presence made me trust that this new chapter would be a success. His smart strategy is already proving effective, even though I am only in the beginning stages. I'm super excited to see what comes next, and I know it's going to be awesome, thanks to Chris.

I wanted to start this coaching journey with Chris because I was in desperate need to move away from teaching "for peanuts" and really wanted to take control of my own work/life balance. I have run my own businesses in the UK for the past 13 years and couldn’t stand being underpaid and letting company’s take advantage of me and my situation of trying to work remotely from Thailand. I was totally unsure of how to approach social media and how often to post and what to post. Chris guided me and has given me ideas to create some great videos including one or two that have gone viral. We tackled together my camera angle and sound quality to make my videos more professional. Chris has not just given me a blueprint that he uses with all teachers. I really feel like he has guided me to think about how I can find my niche and how I can shine for MY STUDENTS. I feel like I have defined my brand and I feel like I stand out by being different from the sea of other teachers online. One huge thing I’ve realised is that I don’t need to teach kids. It’s not for me. And Chris has help me realise this. I would 100% recommend Chris to anyone who has the passion to take control of their life. If social media isn’t your thing, then this is exactly what you need. Planning content, defining how much money to charge and setting your goals and providing step by step instructions and also giving you the confidence in yourself to succeed. I’m feeling positive and am looking forward to our next session. I actually enjoy making content now and I see every post as either a lesson or an investment in my future business. Spot on. Can’t fault it.

Voxer Coaching day was a great opportunity to share my business dilemmas with a caring and knowledgeable individual who goes the extra mile to help fellow teachers with a multitude of issues that we face when going independent. Chris is well-prepared, asks thoughtful questions, patiently analyses your responses and helps you get the results you’re looking for, acting both as your thought partner and an enthusiastic supporter. They are also very generous with their time and are there for you when you need them. The biggest takeaway from our session for me was getting clarity on my ideal client and getting permission to do things at my own pace. I feel more motivated, understood and empowered to take the next steps in my business journey. I recommend Voxer Coaching to anyone who feels alone and overwhelmed with everything that entrepreneurship brings or wants to go freelance but needs that extra push to take practical steps. We all collect a lot of information, but often lack the courage to take decisive action. You don’t have to do this alone, contact Chris and get the support you deserve! All the best, Edita

I got a personalized video for an inquiry and it provided me with lots of helpful tips and an external perspective that helped me start thinking about future strategies, besides Chris is the sweetest and most fun coach! Thanks Chris!

I initially reached out to Chris because I was in the process of leaving a teaching marketplace and going independent, but I was really confused and stuck on my pricing. I definitely had a severe case of imposter syndrome, accompanied by a scarcity mindset. Earlier in my teaching journey, I didn't know where to turn for help and resorted to Facebook groups and Reddit. However, I was left feeling even more confused due to the lack of replies or mixed responses. So when I contacted Chris, I primarily sought help with pricing my services (1:1 classes and groups) because I genuinely had no idea what to do. Chris came to our session with specific formulas for my pricing based on financial goals he asked me to set, and this was the first time anyone had suggested this approach. Previously, all the advice I had received was, "Check to see what other teachers in your field/location are charging." That was the approach I had been taking, but having someone bring proper formulas and mathematical reasoning based on my personal goals was incredibly helpful and empowering. Since going independent, I achieved my first $5k month, and for the first time ever, I sold out a group course that I regularly run, with a $10 per lesson increase based on Chris’s formula. I never thought this would be possible, as I always believed the barrier to selling out my group courses was my pricing, but Chris was able to validate both me and my prices. I loved the fact that Chris took the time to tailor our session, which added a personal touch. It wasn’t just a generic copy-and-paste program, and it was evident that he takes his job seriously and is incredibly proud of what he does. The most significant lesson I've learned from our coaching is how to better balance my time between work and my personal life. After being on marketplaces for so many years, I was always chasing more classes to close the commission gap. Chris helped me realise that I don't need to be on the brink of burnout to be successful. This started with a simple question: "Ideally, how many hours do you want to work a week?" It’s something I had never considered, but because of that, I was able to adjust my schedule to something that better suited me without a loss of income. I would 100% recommend Chris for coaching other educators looking to grow their business because sometimes you just need that extra support. I'm of the mindset that you can't expect students to pay for your services to improve a skill if you're not willing to pay someone for their services to improve your own self. These two principles go hand in hand. I'm excited for our journey together moving forward.

I wanted a coaching day tailored to my specific needs. I struggled in the past with self paced courses even if they were a month long & being kind of left to my own devices so I'm not sure what I am learning and putting into practice is even correct. It's a bit like reading how to play tennis but never actually coming round to touching a tennis racket. After initially thinking ''I'm still not getting something again'' I sat down and wrote quite a few scripts for the reels and got the practical advice. I understood better the theory behind producing reels that are specifically targeted at my audience and has more meaning to it, rather than just jumping on the camera for the sake of posting a reel. I managed to learn more about my target audience & their needs, hurdles but also to look at myself as a teacher & a person from a different perspective. I really liked that we didn't try to compromise who I am & we don't write a bio just because it will be popular or because everyone else is doing it and it's trendy. I would definitely recommend Chris! If you're stuck and not sure how to move forward or you hoarded some online courses and still can't go through them & apply the knowledge into real life or you bought the courses that take few months to complete and you feel overwhelmed - I'd say to reach out to you, Chris and do one day of coaching where you actually end the day with completed tasks. I feel like finally have some direction with my content & I'm excited to film the reels and post them on social media & see how things will unfold for me. He provides practical knowledge, individual approach, lots of feedback. I really loved that it's very practical, and that you were giving me small tasks to complete throughout the day and gave me feedback right away before we moved onto the next task. And it worked really well for me as I knew what I'm doing and you were constantly checking if I understood.

I have joined the workshop organised by Chris. First of all, it was a very positive space and Chris and other people on the call made me very welcomed as a newbie. It was great to connect with others especially because as online teachers we can't really mingle with others in an open desk co-working space settings. I like that Chris shared some knowledge with us in a very approachable manner that was easy to understand. I found it very beneficial that he shared the theory on the topic and then showed us how this knowledge can be applied in practice by sharing examples of content and his commentary. I found it really useful and easy to digest because he uses a simple language to deliver the knowledge on the subject. And it's widely seen now that many experts use some fancy shmancy jargon in their workshops and then we leave the session even more confused and not knowing what we actually listen to. That's definitely not the case with Chris! After his workshop I actually came up with some ideas for my content and I'm excited to create some content where before it felt like a scary daunting task. Thanks Chris!

I seeked the social media page review because I have been trying for months to find my own private students. That’s when I started looking at social media marketing on XHS. But I needed help! Since our audit I have been able to grow a following of 1000K followers and have enrolled three new students with the strategies we implemented. A particular challenge was managing to properly find my niche and feel confident that it existed. Chris helped me choose a clear niche that I can understand and actually can connect with on not just a professional level but a personal level too. I found that the audit was tailored to me and doesn’t feel as if it’s from any template. I am constantly messaging Chris and asking questions and he is always replying with genuine genius answers. I can tell he genuinely cares about me succeeding. I’ve realised that I don’t need to copy what every other teacher is doing in their marketing. And that my confidence, knowledge and personality can make me find MY students. I would 100% recommend this review because you could waste months doing things on social media and not gain any traction because of not knowing the algorithm or the process of each platform. And not having a clear picture of your ideal student and target audience. I am confident that my social media pages will grow to new all-time highs every month with a clear direction working with Chris! He is brilliant, and professional, and has genuinely filled me with confidence about my future career.
