Salome Karanja
@salomekaranja
Virtual Assistant for Educators, Coaches & Training Programs
What I'm looking for
I have been working in the Academy setting for more than 10 years as an Administrative and Communications Coordinator, managing enrollment, communications, parent/student coordination, scheduling, and content for the Academy's online presence. I've been an online English tutor for over five years, so I not only support education businesses from the outside but also actually know how they work. And I don't just support your team. I can train them, build onboarding guides, run orientation sessions, and coach new hires or volunteers until they're confident and self-sufficient.
I can help you with:
✅ Admin & operations support — scheduling, inbox management, systems, and SOPs
✅ Training & coaching — onboarding guides, orientation sessions, and coaching new hires or volunteers
✅ Social media management for your program or academy — content calendars, captions, posting
✅ Coordinating groups, cohorts, or class communications
✅ Creating training materials and internal process guides
✅ Light content writing — course descriptions, program copy, newsletters
If you're a coach, tutor, training company, or academy that needs someone who genuinely understands the education and coaching world (not just a generic VA), I'd love to help lighten your load.
