In Three Short Workshops You'll Create a Solid Plan For Your Business!
"When I start self-doubting, questioning what I'm teaching that is special, wondering why they would choose me - I have to remember there is room for everybody."
Kena Tangi-Dorsey


"I'm not packing up and flying everywhere. Everything I need is right here. Some students can't get out and drive at night anymore so [teaching virtually] is really inclusive."
Julia Mcleod


These are working sessions, full of real, actionable information. No fluff. Join us, do the work during the live sessions, and you'll come away with a plan for launching your first online workshop.
Yes, I'll tell you about how the Academy for Virtual Teaching can continue to support you with the courses and benefits we offer because we believe that your skills are needed NOW.
The work you do brings joy and creativity into the world. We believe what you have to share makes the world a better place!
TEACH WITHOUT EXHAUSTION, AND MORE TIME FOR CREATIVITY
Teach in a format that scales without added hours.
DON'T WASTE MONEY ON EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT
You already have most of what you need.
UNDERSTAND HOW LIVE-ZOOM AND ON-DEMAND COURSES WORK
Connect with the students who need your creativity.
SEE HOW YOUR CREATIVE SKILLS CAN BUILD A SOLID BUISINESS
Even with a small audience or limited time.

You think nobody will ever watch your workshop because your are awkward on camera.
Trading time for low paying hours of live teaching isn't sustainable.
You think equipment and technology are too complicated.
You are limited by caregiving or health issues and can't travel to your students.
You’ll learn how to take your in-person workshops and successfully translate them to online courses. We’ll cover: What resources you need to teach live on Zoom and/or create on-demand courses. How to structure your lessons so students stay engaged. A step-by-step audit of your current equipment, tech, and skills—so you can see just how close you already are to getting started!
This is a live, interactive Zoom workshop with three working sessions. That means you’ll not only learn but also take action during the sessions. You’ll have worksheets, planners, and clear steps to move forward so that by the end, you’ll have a real plan for your online teaching.
You only need a phone, and a clear plan! You’ll be surprised at how much you can do with what you already have. And if you can teach the amazing art or craft your create? You can definitely learn minimal tech. Think about it, what would you tell one of YOUR students who said "I'm terrible at this"?
You don’t have to be perfect—your students want you, not a polished production. What you have to offer will make their lives more creative, better, easier and happier. Don' teeny them that gift!
All sessions will be recorded, and replays will be available. However, attending live gives you the opportunity to ask questions, get real-time feedback, and make progress alongside others. And.... GIVEAWAYS!!!!
