Every kid has ideas. Most never do anything with them.
This course changes that.

I believe inside every kid is an entrepreneur. Not necessarily someone who wants to be "CEO" but someone capable of seeing a problem, imagining a solution, and making it real.

In this course, your child will:
✓ Develop a real business idea: something they actually care about, not an abstract project
✓ Understand the market: Who needs this? Why? Who else offers it? Why would theirs be better?
✓ Create a simple business plan: the version that actually works, not 50 pages of jargon
✓ Design a brand: logo, name, story. Why their business exists (not just to make money)
✓ Build and test their idea: even at small scale, they'll see if people actually want what they created
✓ Learn to lead a team: we work in groups, so they'll experience real collaboration
✓ Use technology smartly: real tools to grow a business
✓ Get feedback from real entrepreneurs: not just from me, but from people building things right now

Why this is different:
Most "entrepreneurship courses for kids" teach theory. Here we build something real.
Your child won't just learn about entrepreneurship. They'll experience it: having an idea, developing it, sharing it, and getting genuine feedback.

Some will have a business. Others will discover it's not for them. Both are successes because they learned something real about themselves.

What they take home:
A complete business plan. A brand they designed. A presentation they delivered. And most importantly: the conviction that their ideas matter and they can make them real.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Group and individual work, flexible

For kids with big ideas and adults who want to nurture them.

Correctly interpreting financial documentation can be very difficult at first. It is very important for entrepreneurs to understand how the business is translated into figures. In these lessons I like to zoom in on the business plan, what you should pay attention to in the figures and how a third party assesses the data.

If drawing up a business plan requires some financial input, I will also be happy to explain how this can be added. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to discuss a case.

I’m a certified Russian teacher (Moscow State University) and a creative entrepreneur from Siberia, now living and working in sunny Barcelona. As the founder of two small premium online shops that sell art decor, I combine linguistic precision with real business experience.

I help English, Spanish, and German speakers improve their Business Russian for real communication — from client relationships to cross-cultural projects.
My lessons are fully personalized to your business goals, communication style, and professional field.

My focus is especially on entrepreneurs and business owners — small and medium-sized companies who work with or serve Russian-speaking clients in Europe or the United States — but I also welcome anyone interested in developing confident, modern business Russian skills.
