Question 1

What’s the investment?

Accepted Answer

The T2E Empowerment Intensive Program is priced from $1,500 to $3,000 all inclusive with life-time access to all course resources depending on which level of live mentorship you choose and whether you decide to PIF or monthly. No hidden or additional charges. A 12-month payment plans are available for all 3 levels.

Individual coaching starts at $60 per 30 minute session with discounts available for multi-session purchases. T2E Community members may schedule free 60-minute coaching session each quarter for as long as they maintain community membership.

A free discovery call is recommended before any services are purchased to determine which services are right for each person.

Question 2

How long is the Mentorship program?

Accepted Answer

The T2E  Empowerment Intensive Program is designed to to have you confidently running your business in 12 weeks or less. Online group and 1:1 mentorship is ongoing as per your plan for 1 year from your enrollment date.

However, we are here for you for as long as you need us. You have lifetime access to program resources and program updates.

T2E Intensive Members also receive a permanent home on our Teacher Directory at no additional charge and special pricing on T2E Community Membership.

Question 3

Are refunds available if this is not the right fit for me?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What about benefits?

Accepted Answer

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 (https://www.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.

Question 5

What if I already have my own teacher business?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Are the programs live, or pre-recorded?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How much feedback and accountability do I get?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

I have little to no online experience, is this program for me?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

Can I do this by myself?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Is this an MLM?

Accepted Answer

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.
