Hi! I’m Katie from Abridge Academy. I’ve been teaching online since 2013 and co-founded a Chinese online ESL teaching program in 2020.

Reviews from teachers like you…
XiaoHongShu bootcamp As soon as I joined Abridge, Katie made me feel welcome and supported. The bootcamp was incredibly inspiring and I really felt as though I was working through a process which was leading me towards becoming a successful independent online teacher.The course was broken down into 3 webinars, each a comfortable 45 minutes in duration. The first session was called "Optimising your profile." Here we learned that XHS is a social ecommerce site rather than simply a social media site and that its activity is known as microblogging. We were given essential information as to the type of our audience and its mindset. We were then told how we can clearly present ourselves on the site in order to best appeal to our niche audiences.In session 2 we learned about "Posting and funnel strategy." We discussed the need for a purpose to our posts and the importance of building a relationship with our audience. We discussed different types of posts including value posts and inspiration posts and it was suggested that we plan a posting schedule.In the third session we were introduced to some "Algorithm secrets." We were reminded that this is a microblogging site not simply a social media site. We learned about the importance of engagement, shares and watch time and were prompted to think how we could achieve these metrics for our campaigns. It was impressed upon us how significant the first 24 hours of the life of a post is and we were shown how using the right hashtags can boost performance.Having known absolutely nothing about XiaoHongshu and precious little about social media marketing before this bootcamp, after just 3 x 45 minute sessions, I feel empowered. Entering into a somewhat overwhelming world of independent online teaching in a foreign market, this is exactly the kind of supporting environment I had hoped I could find. Thank you Abridge and thank you Katie. I'm looking forward to the journey!

China Social Media Marketing Mastery Course The detailed explanations of the many differences in Chinese and English language was profoundly explained in these lessons and helped me to understand the difficulties that Chinese speakers have when confronted with English - which is a much more difficult language than other languages on this planet. Understanding these differences is essential for every ESL teacher. I give this course an emphatic YES! for all ESL teachers.

XiaoHongShu bootcamp Thank you Katie for bring so gentle, patient and understanding. I felt supported and no question was ever “silly”. Being a non-techy person, posting regularly on social media felt daunting to say the least. Posting to market yourself is a whole different ball game and needless to say, the mere thought terrified me. I am looking forward to trying out the posting challenge next week - especially knowing you’re right there to help if I need you. The boot camp was well paced and extremely informative. I’m so glad I found you!

Once set up, she guided me through things to post as well as how the app works. Katie provides the demographics for the app as well so you know your audience. Well worth taking this three part course! If thats not enough for you, she also offers additional services like translation and specific posts for you to share.

XiaoHongShu bootcamp I started the bootcamp as a complete novice - I had heard of XiaoHongShu but had no idea how to get started! In just five days I now have a much better understanding of 1)how it works 2)how to post 3)what to post 4)how to get a better reach with my posts. I have even created a post! I haven't started my journey as an Independent teacher yet, but I now feel like it is much more attainable, because I need to market myself first in order to get clients, and this course has given me the knowledge. Katie's bootcamp is clear, informative and such a valuable free resource, with the benefit of a workbook to help implement what you learn. Thank you Katie for your time and effort, and fellow course members for a great boot camp.

XiaoHongShu marketing course This is a fantastic course with lots of useful information. I think it really helps to understand the algorithm before posting. There is lots of clear detail in the course with examples. I also love the ideas of what kind of things to post and advice on what to avoid doing. I feel confident and ready to post and engage on XHS after completing the course, and will feel reassured that I can go back to look at parts of the course again if I need reminders. Thanks Katie, you are brilliant.

XiaoHongShu bootcamp I recently had the privilege of completing the Xiaohongshu bootcamp, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity. I want to start by extending my heartfelt thanks to Katie, who generously offered this course for free. In a world where people are charging exorbitant fees for similar bootcamps with little to offer, Katie's dedication to sharing knowledge is truly commendable.Katie's Xiaohongshu bootcamp exceeded all my expectations. It was a goldmine of valuable information, delivered in a straightforward and concise manner. From the moment I enrolled, it was evident that this course was meticulously crafted to empower learners with a comprehensive understanding of the Xiaohongshu platform.One of the standout features of this bootcamp was the clarity of instruction. Katie left no stone unturned, providing detailed guidance on every aspect of using Xiaohongshu. Her approach was refreshingly honest, making the learning experience not only informative but also enjoyable. She has a talent for simplifying complex concepts, making it easy for anyone, regardless of their prior experience, to grasp the intricacies of Xiaohongshu.Throughout the course, Katie addressed all the burning questions I had about using the app effectively. Her insights were invaluable, and I finished the bootcamp feeling confident and well-prepared to navigate Xiaohongshu as an independent teacher.Thank you, Katie, for your incredible generosity in sharing this knowledge – you've made a meaningful difference in my journey, and I'm sure countless others will feel the same way.

I already had an account set up, and had already made one non-teaching related post for practice, but this gave some very useful tips. Thank you!

Because of her bootcamp, I realized I was doing quite a few things wrong on the platform, such as using the hashtags with the most views, directly advertising in posts and on my profile, and inconsistently uploading content. Thanks to Katie, I know why this are bad ideas and will correct these errors immediately. I greatly appreciate all the hard work that was put into this bootcamp!! Thank you so much!
