The short version
- A word of the week is the cheapest, most shareable post a language school has. Do it weekly.
- Post by term and by travel season. People sign up before a trip, a move or a new job.
- Show real classes with permission, or your materials and your teachers. Check before you post any learner's face.
- Say your levels, class times and start dates in plain words in every enrollment post.
Nobody joins a language school because of a logo. They join because they pictured themselves ordering dinner in another language. Language school social media post ideas should let them try a little of that on your Page.
These 18 posts cover tiny lessons, class starts, travel season and the cultural side of what you teach. Swap in your language and details. If you teach one on one, the tutoring post ideas have a similar rhythm.
What learners check on a language school's Page
- Which languages and levels you teach, near the top.
- Class days, times, length and group size.
- A real teacher they could talk to.
- A way to try before they commit, even a short one.
