CoachUp is a great opportunity for teachers to make some extra money during the summer.
“CoachUp is a service that connects athletes with private coaches. We believe that private coaching is the secret to reaching the next level in sports + life.”
Teachers often hear the comment “If must be nice to have the summer’s off.” The reality is, many teachers NEED to work during the summers to make ends meet. If a teacher does work during the summer, it makes sense to take advantage of the valuable skills involved in teaching.
Coaching is a job that requires many of the same skills as teaching.
- Be knowledgable about the subject or sport.
- Be able to explain and teach to learners of different skill levels.
- Be able to motivate a child to do his / her best.
- Have a flexible schedule that can accommodate the busy lives of children and families.
- Have the ability to see the potential in each child.
- Have the ability to bring out the best in others.
It is easy to register and each coach sets their hourly rate. It is easy to complete a profile and can provide a teacher / coach with an additional source of income all year.
