Could your teaching skills help you earn extra income or build a business of your own?
This hands-on workshop is for teachers who want to start a side gig alongside their job, explore self-employment after teaching or build a business that could eventually replace their salary. Come with an idea, a few possibilities or a blank page.
We’ll start with what you want from working for yourself, whether that’s extra cash, more flexibility or a change of direction. You’ll look at the skills you enjoy using, in and out of the classroom, and explore who might pay for them. From tutoring to training adults or turning a hobby into a side income, there’s room to explore what fits you.
You’ll use a simple scorecard to compare your ideas against the time you have, what you want to earn and how easily you could find customers. Then you’ll put one idea on paper, sketch out what you could charge and work out how many sales you’d need to make it worthwhile.
You’ll leave with a one-page business idea and one practical step you can take in the next seven days to see whether customers would pay for it.
