1:1 Business Mentoring: Entrepreneur, Finance, Critical Thinking, 50 Min

Do you have questions about running a business, or how to decide what you want to do?  Join a seasoned business consultant for this an interactive, learner-led 1:1 support session for learners who are interested in:
     - Making money
     - How to start a business
     - Turning their hobby into a business
     - Publicizing their hobby through (age appropriate) social media tools
     - Learning about business management
     - Starting a Youtube channel (find your niche and where to market your channel)
     - Learning about careers or businesses for different personalities and passions

This class is learner-led, which means we'll discuss whatever questions your learner brings to class!  We'll have discussions based on their questions, my experience, and snippets from my other classes.  (This is not a curriculum-based class, instead, it relies on learners guiding the topics, which we will explore in conversation.)  

Session topics can be arranged in advance via Outschool message (at least 24 hours in advance.)  If I don't receive a message at least 24 hours in advance, please have your learner bring questions to class.  This session can cover one or more of the following topics:
     - How to determine a reasonable and profitable price for your product or service
     - Marketing (basic Canva flyer, logo, or business card design, where to share)
     - Social media marketing (platforms, safety, pros and cons of different platforms)
     - Value proposition / elevator pitch (gaining confidence in talking about your business)
     - Set up costs (realistic costs and how to earn money to pay for them)
     - Popular businesses for kids and how to stand out
     - Developing soft skills (public speaking, confidence, self awareness, boundary setting)
     - Creating a healthy work balance and verbalizing boundaries at work or in your business

Younger students are welcome.  I have experience teaching and working with young entrepreneurs ages 5-18, although I generally recommend ages 8+ for this session, unless you're confident your younger learner will benefit from a 1:1 collaborative discussion.  

1:1 session classroom guidelines:
1)  Be respectful: take turns talking, be respectful during any disagreements, and use the chat only for on-topic discussions.  
2)  Minimize distractions.  No video filters, no backgrounds (except blur).  Don't put items close to the camera, unless asked to.  
3)  If student is disrespectful or distracting, teacher will give them 1-2 verbal notices and then remove them to the waiting room for a break.  If the student is still in the waiting room after a few minutes, they will be let back in.  If the behavior continues, student will be given another verbal warning.  After that they will be removed to the waiting room for the duration of class.  In the unlikely even that this happens, please contact support@outschool.com.  Racist, sexist, or homophobic comments will result in the session ending, and Outschool's Safety department being notified.
4)  Outschool requires all learners to be enrolled; any other kids/teens present need to be off-screen, and not engage with the student or teacher.  This is strictly enforced.

A few notes: 
- Please arrive 3 minutes early so that we can start class on time, and you can troubleshoot any tech issues before class.
- Per Outschool policy, if the student is not in the classroom at the 10 minute mark, I will close the classroom.  (If you're having tech issues trying to enter the classroom, send me a message or post in the classroom, so I know you are trying to get in!)
- If you cannot attend, please let me know ASAP.  Outschool's policy for 1:1 classes is that you can receive a refund if you cancel within 24 hours of your (Sunday) payment. 
 Additionally, you can reschedule (within the same week) if you message me a reschedule request at least 48 hours before class.  Reschedules are subject to availability.  I cannot offer refunds or make-up classes for missed sessions, outside of Outschool refund policy.  If you experience an emergency, please send me a message.   
- Unless there is a safety issue, a class recording will be automatically made available once it is processed by Outschool.
- Learners are encouraged to advocate for how they can best participate.  If your learner needs adult assistance in the classroom (e.g. adult on screen, adult answering for child or facilitating answers, adult taking notes), please let me know in advance, as recommended in the Outschool parent guidance.
