Dede F.
I was intimidated by the idea of teaching kids. How do you keep their attention without losing your mind? This training didn’t just give me ideas, it gave me a whole new way to approach it. I left thinking, ‘I can actually do this.’ And now I am.
Helen B.
I kept waiting to feel ‘ready.’ But this training made me realize that ready isn’t a feeling – it’s a set of tools, a plan, and someone who believes in you. That’s what finally gave me the confidence to start teaching.
Katrina K.
I loved every minute of this training! It’s hands on, highly engaging, and creative. I love how the training focused on building confidence to teach classes for kids of all different ages. I’d recommend it to any teacher at any stage.
