Using Creativity In Your Studio To Set You Apart

Creativity doesn’t just apply to lessons. If you get creative with your marketing, scheduling, and offers, you can set yourself apart from your competition.

That’s exactly what teacher Lynette Barney discovered. Listen to her explain why Teaching Outside the Box is valuable for retention rates.

Getting Creative When Things Don’t Go To Plan

As a teacher, you have a plan. But sometimes, those plans have to get thrown out the window.

Being Creative With Beginner Students

Creativity shouldn’t be held back for more advanced students. In fact, it should be embraced and encouraged from the very first lesson!

Instead of cracking open a method book in lesson one, immerse your beginner student with an activity from the No Book Beginners framework. Learn more about No Book Beginners here.
