How to Have a Successful Freelance Education Career

Stepping Outside the Classroom

About this book

Teaching and education offer a hugely rewarding career - but staying in the classroom for life is not always right for everyone. With a successful teaching career under her belt, Fe Luton made the move from classroom to kitchen table, entering the world of freelance education writing, research, and training as a general all-round creative.

How to Have a Successful Freelance Education Career shares the options and practicalities of transitioning to and succeeding in a freelance career. Exploring options for both full-time and part-time freelancing, this essential guide outlines the key skills needed to build a stable career within the freelance education world.

Fe Luton explores ways to define yourself, promote yourself and to make sure you stay top of the list when it comes to applications, commissions, and gigs. With chapters filled with practical advice, topics covered include:

  • Life after (or alongside) teaching
  • Developing skills beyond the classroom
  • Pitching and making yourself stand out
  • Building your online persona
  • Career development
  • The dos and don'ts of freelance work

This engaging yet highly practical guide is an essential read for anyone looking to reassess their options in the world of education and to expand their professional horizons beyond the classroom.
