About the Class:
Teacher Entrepreneur is a teacher, trainer, consultant or expert, establishing his or her teaching business online. Most teachers work with schools and universities, not directly involved with student acquisition, marketing/ sales, branding activities. Nor, are they held responsible if enough students do not apply in a particular academic year. Their main job is to teach. Teacher Entrepreneur is different. He/ she is responsible for all aspects : teaching, recruiting, growth of business, marketing, feedback - everything needed to run a corporation, business or organization. This is especially true in the current context, when a lot of teachers are taking the online route to supplement their incomes or build their online teaching business. However, this is a complete mindset shift. In this Public Online Class, we review:
  • Who is a teacher entrepreneur?
  • Characteristics of a teacher entrepreneur
  • Can you become a teacher entrepreneur?
