We will discuss your hobbies and expertise and see how to make them really pay off. Do you love technology, smart phones, and apps? How about social media? Do you love dog, kids, or cooking? Play an instrument or a sport? There are many people who could use your help and would be willing to pay you for it. Together we will explore who your customers are: Senior citizens who need help using their smart phone? Students who need extra help with math or science? Parent who need babysitting or dog walking services? Helping someone advertise their own business on social media... We'll have fun figuring out the best way to beat the competition and make your product or service stand out.

Teacher expertise and credentials

As a tenured, certified Business Teacher and Business Owner I know how to start a successful service business and teach others how to start a successful small business well. Whether this involves selling a product or a service, I have a track record of success helping students achieve their new business goals. Entrepreneurial at heart, I have founded and managed an innovative business advisory and college and career coaching consulting practices.
Based on my extensive experience teaching Entrepreneurship and marketing, I know how to make it interesting and practical. I use video clips and engaging handouts to make the content easy to understand and put into action. This class is interactive, not lecture based, so students will have the opportunity to discuss, share experiences, and ask questions. Reviews
