Are refunds available if this is not the right fit for me? Of course. We work very hard during the initial assessment interview to ensure program compatibility and to answer all questions a potential mentee has. However should a teacher chose to leave the program within 14 days of the course open, a full refund will be issued upon written request and completion of an exit form. ** Although we have the Refund Policy stated above, not one participant has requested a refund since we began working with teacher entrepreneurs in June 2022. This is because we take the time to make sure that we are a good fit and answer all questions before any money exchanges hands. It is very important to me that NO ONE ever feels pressured into purchasing anything here. We are educators NOT salespeople. At The Private Practice Teacher®, our goal is to care for and support our teachers - NOT make as much money as possible. What about benefits? Just because you're a solo-entrepreneur doesn't mean you can't have benefits. Thanks to the ACA you can shop for affordable health care plans on the healthcare.gov marketplace. All of the plans on the marketplace MUST provide coverage for preventative care, life-saving care, & CANNOT discriminate because of a pre-existing condition. You can also speak with a marketplace broker for FREE if you need help deciding which plan is right for you. As for your retirement savings, I encourage you to speak with an investment advisor about your options for rolling over your retirement plans. This type of financial advising is also FREE, and I encourage you to speak with multiple institutions and an accountant before making a final decision. *** NOTE: This is NOT LEGAL or FINANCIAL ADVICE!! I am not a lawyer nor an accountant. I am a professional French teacher. The above information is from my experience starting my business. I highly recommend that all new US business owners consult a free SCORE mentor for advice on the legalities of setting up their business. What if I already have my own teacher business? If you already have an existing teacher business, than the whole T2E Empowerment Intensive may not be the best choice for you. In that case, I would encourage you to consider either À La Carte Coaching and/or becoming a member of The T2E Community. I encourage everyone to book a free strategy call to discuss which option is best for you. Are the programs live, or pre-recorded? The T2E 90-Day Intensive include pre-recorded training videos, downloadable pdfs, and resources links, so you can work at your own pace. However, they also include weekly live group Q&A sessions, guest speakers, and an online T2E community for both accountability and support. Live 1:1 coaching is purchased separately, at a discounted rate, scheduled by you as needed. There are also prerecorded, fully asynchronous courses available for free on YouTube. How much feedback and accountability do I get? It's important to me that my mentorship courses NOT sit in your inbox until you "have time to do it". In the T2E Intensive, you have a live group accountability meeting and a live workshop meeting. I, program alumni, and your fellow mentees will all "lovingly kick your butt" to make sure you are maintaining forward movement toward your goals. In the T2E Bootcamp we meet twice a week to workshop the content in the prerecorded course, so that each participant is able to get timely answers to their questions and brainstorm with me and fellow participants. We will also hold you accountable and provide support via messaging, email, and our online T2E community. I have little to no online experience, is this program for me? Yes. If you can manage an online grade book and learning management system, then I can help you set up and run all the online components of your business. Whether you want to only do in-person classes or teach 100% online, you will still need to have some online presence. This program is designed to teach you how to set up and manage your scheduling, invoicing, marketing, online learning hub, and website. Can I do this by myself? Of course you can. I did. It took me between 18-20 months to learn how to create a sustainable and profitable business. I created my courses and programs to teach other teachers everything I learned during that time in the hopes that it will ultimately save other teachers both time and money by helping you turn a profit more quickly. The bottom line is that it takes some combination of TIME and MONEY to start a business. It's up to you to decide what combination is right for you and your situation. I offer different levels of support no matter what you decide is right for you. Is this an MLM? NO! I help teachers create their own businesses completely independent of me. I'm happy to add them to my Teacher Directory and market for them, BUT those teachers are completely independent business owners. They do not work for me, nor do I take any portion of income they generate. ** I may ask some teachers if they would like to co-coach new teacher mentees. In that case, I pay them as independent contractors. Hi, I'm Rachel, the founder of MyFrenchU and The Private Practice Teacher®. I'm very excited to share with you my T2E Empowerment Intensive.

The Private Practice Teacher ®, I’ve turned my teacher entrepreneur journey into a step-by-step mentorship program for innovative, passionate, student-centered teachers who want to do what I do and start enjoying life like never before. Hi, I'm Rachel Founder of MyFrenchU & The Private Practice Teacher® For me, a teacher is much more than a content delivery specialist. A teacher is a mentor, a resource for their students to help them thrive, see their own potential, & help them achieve their goals. Sadly, current education systems make that kind of teaching harder and harder to accomplish - especially if your life has demands outside of the classroom. Self-Authored Success I don’t believe there is a single right way to build a teaching business or a single definition of success that applies to everyone. I don’t coach teachers towards my version of success. I mentor them as they clarify and build their own. That means we start with your life, not a predetermined framework. Your values. Your energy. Your responsibilities. Your goals. I share my systems, strategies, and real-world experience, then help you adapt, remix, or discard whatever doesn’t fit. The goal isn't to make copies of my business; it's to achieve autonomy, sustainability, and a business that actually supports the life you want to live. My Core Philosophy If other educated professionals can go into private practice, so can teachers. Rachel Cicioni M.Ed. This is my Story I moved around a lot as a child, living in 3 different states, and attending 8 different schools in 7 different districts. I attended schools in areas that were low-income, high-income, rural, urban, and everything in between. One of the few things that was consistent in my life was a great teacher. No matter where I found myself, I always had at least one great teacher who helped me feel wanted and safe. That's why I've wanted to be a teacher ever since I can remember. Finally, COVID made it impossible for me to manage the demands of both school life & home life. I made the heartbreaking decision to leave teaching, BUT I missed it so much! That's when I decided to try to create my own private teaching business & MyFrenchU was born. Now, with The Private Practice Teacher® , I took what I learned building my own private teaching practice and turned it into a structured mentorship, not so others could copy my path, but so teachers could design businesses aligned with their own lives, values, and goals. Schedule Free Consultation Teachers deserve to have the autonomy to practice their profession in a manner that is consistent with why they chose teaching in the first place. Rachel Cicioni M.Ed. Why My Mentorship is Different Many coaching programs are built around a single system or path to success. Mine isn’t. While I’m happy to share exactly what works for me, my role isn’t to have teachers create copies of my business. My goal is to support them in building something that fits their lives, values, and goals. Mentorship with me blends education, guidance, and real-world support. It's grounded in the belief that teachers are capable professionals who deserve autonomy over their work. Some of my teachers follow a path similar to mine. Others create something entirely different. Both are valid. What matters is that the business you build aligns with your values, your goals, and your definition of success, not anyone else’s. What This Means for You If you’re looking for a rigid formula, this probably isn’t the right place. But if you want: Support without pressure Guidance that honors individuality Structure with flexibility My goal isn’t to be indispensable. It’s to help you build clarity, confidence, and systems so you can move forward independently and eventually no longer need me in the same way. That’s not an ending. That’s the point. ** But just like with my students, I would love for you to keep in touch. If This Resonates If what you’ve read here feels grounding, relieving, or familiar, the next step isn’t choosing a package; it’s having a conversation. The T2E Empowerment Intensive is where I work most closely with teachers who want to build sustainable, self-directed teaching businesses aligned with their real lives. It isn’t a formula or a fast track. This is mentorship designed to help you clarify what success means to you and build toward it with support. 👉 Explore the T2E Empowerment Intensive Looking for a different type of support? 👉 Explore all current offerings Nikki Mitchell Owner/founder of Brain Boost Academy ''Rachel always says that we could figure this all out on our own, but I really don't think that I could have.

They also receive a dedicated digital space they can return to as they practice skills in reading, math, and typing. Most students are back to grade level or above in 6 months to a year. Many of the Tutoring with Sheryl students have IEPs, SATs, or have Speech services. Sheryl easily navigates those and supports goals with the student's needs in mind. Go To Website

< Back Rose Gause Reading With Rose Reading With Rose Hi, I love helping students not only become better readers, but also have an appreciation for it. I’m a virtual reading instructor with a literacy program that uses a phonics based curriculum. I also have experience teaching in a classroom setting and abroad. I provide customized lessons in ELA, reading, and phonics. I’m passionate about creating an immersive online learning experience for my students to learn and express their creativity. With the use of digital tools and story telling your student will excel in reading. "Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift." - Kate DiCamillo Go To Website
