Community Education Opportunity

[Pompal 09.]

Hi,

Our local community college just released a flyer and they are looking for members in the community to teach non-credit classes. I am committed to teach a basic massage class sometime in late Aug or early Sept. My question: Has anyone on the board taught a class and would they please share some of their insights as to what worked as well as what didnt work when teaching a class?

The director has suggested that it be marketed as a couples massage class to avoid the discomfort someone might feel if they are touched by someone they dont know. My thought, they will not sign up if that is a concern. Also, he suggested a series to keep community interest. I do not want the community to get any ideas that they will get any more than a basic overview. Second question: Any ideas for a series of classes?

Thank you

PS It is not essential that you have taught a class. Any insight will be gladly appreciated!

I am pretty sure I recall a thread about this from about three years ago. It's worth the search...

If you find it, make sure to add it here as a cross-link for future observers!

I am probably not doing the search correctly because I was unable to find the thread you mentioned. So, if anyone on the board knows of the thread in question, please post or direct me to the thread. If anyone would like to post a reply to my post, that would be great too! Thanks

Found it!

• "Teaching" Massage for Community Education

I searched "teach" & "class", looked through all the threads and found it that way. I didn't see any others. Usually I pick more words and do a few searches in addition, but just don't have time right now. Good luck. Hope this helps you locate some more!

I am adding a few other couples massage links to this thread to help bring the info we currently have on the forums all in a happy landing zone.

If anyone has anything to offer, please feel free to add your input!

• Does anyone teach couple's massage?
• teaching
• Timing for couples classes & V-day?
• Any advice. Going to be teaching couples...

Do you think it would work to market the class as a "Bring Your Own Partner" event, or something to that effect? Unless that's copy righted. That way, you have more than just couples attending.
