Listen "Structure Your Course"
Episode Synopsis
about how to structure your course. The structure is as important as the content. No matter how rich the knowledge you offer, if the structure itself that will take them from A to B is not solid, then you have nothing. The transformation that you (and the student) want can happen if you set a formidable structure for learning.
You don’t need to be a licensed teacher or educator to be able to do this. There are no specific rules. Let Neil help you. Listen in to this latest episode of The Tutor Podcast now to learn.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
First, the structure of your course must help you build a bridge that connects you to your students, so that it’s easy for information to travel. Also, to build a bridge that will get them from ‘feeling stuck’ to ‘enlightened’. It’s time to build that vessel.
Second, identify what you’ll need (the resources), and they’ll need from you. What do they want? What specific parts of their guitar-playing do they still need to improve?
Third, there is no one-for-all template to follow. No particular length, no particular number of courses, and no particular instructions on how you should section them. You have to learn how to adjust for your students.
Fourth, study your own module. You are the master of what you created. There’s no one else who should know what lessons fall under each section than you. And also make sure that everything’s well-researched.
BEST MOMENTS
“Structure will make life easy for your customers.”
“Focus on the structure of the course…content will present itself when you begin the structuring process.”
“As far as the live face-to-face lessons go, I’m very happy with them.”
“But people who came from different avenues, who didn’t study educational techniques, this [structuring] will be helpful.”
