How to teach business English online to professionals

To teach business English online to professionals, run the live class over a video call with a collaborative whiteboard, use a lesson built around your student's field, and deliver an automatic lesson review after class with transcription, new vocabulary, and correction suggestions. Adult learners want results, and the review is what makes progress visible.

Understand what a professional needs from a class

A business English student is not learning English from scratch. They need to perform in meetings, emails, presentations, and negotiations.

Before you plan the class, map out their context: industry, role, and the real situations where their English breaks down. That defines the vocabulary and scenarios you will train.

The class becomes a simulation. You recreate the meeting they will have, the presentation they will give, the email they need to write.

Build the class around real situations

Busy professionals value a focused class. Structure each session around a concrete situation, not a loose grammar list.

A few angles that work well:

• Meetings and calls: opening, leading, disagreeing politely, closing decisions.
• Presentations: introducing data, defending a proposal, fielding questions.
• Negotiation: asking, countering, setting conditions, reaching agreement.
• Writing: direct emails, follow-ups, messages in work tools.

In Noladi you build each of these situations as a lesson inside a course and reuse it with other students of the same profile. At class time, you link the lesson and the whiteboard already loads the prepared material.

Run the live class on the whiteboard

The live class runs in the browser, with nothing to install. You draw on the whiteboard, the student writes alongside you, and you can drag a PDF or slide onto the whiteboard while you explain.

That changes the dynamic of business English. Instead of just talking, you correct the structure of an email on screen, build the outline of a presentation in real time, and jot down the vocabulary that came up in the simulation.

You also take notes during the class, linked to the exact moment. Later they turn into pick-up points for the next session.

Deliver the review after class

This is the difference a professional notices. Minutes after class, the full review of the session shows up on their dashboard.

The review includes:

• A class player with synced transcription, speaker by speaker.
• New vocabulary from the class, categorized, with a count of how many times it came up.
• AI correction suggestions, with explanations of grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary.
• Speaking stats: speaking time, pace, unique words.

The student hears the correct pronunciation of a word, jumps to the part of the meeting where they got a structure wrong, and translates a passage on demand when the meaning trips them up.

For a professional, that is proof of progress. They are not left with just the memory of the class, they have the material to review between one call and the next.

Organize scheduling and billing

Professionals have tight calendars and reschedule. Use Noladi's schedule for time slots, including weekly recurrence, and sync it with Google Calendar to avoid conflicts.

You handle billing through plans and installments. Noladi tracks who has which package active and the status of each installment. The payment itself, by Pix, card, or transfer, is still done by you, outside the system. Noladi keeps track of who has paid and who still owes.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Zoom or Google Meet to run the class

No. Noladi's live class runs in the browser, with no separate Google Meet or Zoom to install. You get a collaborative whiteboard, screen sharing, and, afterward, the automatic lesson review with transcription and vocabulary, things a regular video call does not deliver.

How does the student review the class afterward

Minutes after the session, the review appears on the student's dashboard: a class player, synced transcription, new vocabulary, correction suggestions, and speaking stats. They watch again, hear the correct pronunciation, and jump to the moments that matter, at their own pace.

How do I charge a business English student a monthly fee

You set up a plan with the price and the number of classes, link it to the student, and track the installments on the receivables screen. Noladi tracks who has paid and who still owes. The payment itself, by Pix or card, is done by you outside the platform.
