Case Study: Speak English With Vanessa saves hours automating student management with Zapier

How a Solopreneur Automates Her Work to Focus on Her Students

Speak English With Vanessa, founded by solopreneur Vanessa Prothe, needed a way to manage growing student enrollments, email lists, and payment workflows without spending hours on manual backend tasks. As the business expanded, Vanessa turned to Zapier to connect her apps and automate routine operations so she could focus more on teaching and less on administration.

Zapier implemented automated workflows between tools like Teachable, Stripe, and ActiveCampaign to create or update contacts, apply tags, route students to the right email lists, and flag failed payments. These Zaps saved Vanessa several hours per week, streamlined client management, and effectively handled work that would otherwise require additional staff.
