Whether offering the basics
of a musical instrument,
training on how to scuba dive,
or teaching driving skills,
self-enrichment education teachers
are knowledgeable, experienced guides
for students seeking new experiences.
Self-enrichment teachers instruct students
in subjects that typically aren’t academic
or vocational.
Whether it’s ballet, ceramics, or martial arts,
these instructors must have achieved
a degree of proficiency in their subject,
but don’t need to be experts.
The bulk of their time is spent
instructing students
or preparing materials and lessons.
Self-enrichment teachers
monitor students’ progress
and adapt their teaching methods
to suit individual goals,
which may vary tremendously.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution
to this type of instruction.
Some self-enrichment teachers work at schools
or through local
community education organizations,
but others work for businesses
such as gyms or studios.
Part-time hours are common.
Many self-enrichment teachers
need only a high school diploma or equivalent,
but education requirements can vary.
Knowledge and skill in the subject matter
is the essential credential.
