Fall in LOVE with Teaching Again

with Rachel Cicioni M.Ed.

Let’s get to know one another…

Hi, I'm Rachel

Founder of MyFrenchU and The Private Practice Teacher®

For me, a teacher is much more than a content delivery specialist. A teacher is a mentor, a resource for their students to help them thrive, see their own potential, & help them achieve their goals.

Sadly, current education systems make that kind of teaching harder and harder to accomplish - especially if your life has demands outside of the classroom.

Is this YOU?

✦ Wants to continue teaching but needs an alternative to the traditional classroom setting due to burnout, a lack of autonomy, or life circumstances requiring more flexibility.

✦ Is passionate about and student success but feels disillusioned by systemic constraints and outdated policies that hinder real learning.

✦ Wants to be recognized and valued as an educational expert and seeks to use their knowledge in ways that truly benefit students, families, and lifelong learners.

✦ Desires financial stability and professional freedom, whether that means replacing a full-time salary, supplementing income part-time, or transitioning into a consulting, coaching, or resource-creation role.

✦ Believes teachers should have a say in shaping the future of education and sees private practice teaching as a way to uplift the profession and shift the narrative around teacher expertise.

✦ Values innovation, integrity, and sustainability in their work and wants to build a teaching business that aligns with their passions, skills, and personal goals.

Being Self-Employed Costs Less Than You Think

Contrary to popular belief, venturing into private practice teaching is far more affordable than you may think. In fact, with the right resources, you can kickstart your journey with minimal financial investment.

Can you be Risk-Averse AND an Entrepreneur? YES!

I do not want you to be in a position where you were putting your financial security or your family’s financial security at risk. I didn’t and unless you have a considerable nest egg that you can live on while you build your business, I don’t recommend that you do that either. 

Life as a Self-Employed Teacher?

As a self-employed teacher, I still get to do most of my favorite teacher things. There are also a couple of things I never had while working for a school or anyone else that I’m not sure I’m willing to give up.

Rachel always says that we could figure this all out on our own, but I really don't think that I could have. The information in the course, the sequencing of it, and the support was exactly what I needed to create my business.

PPT allowed me to leave the classroom and create my own private teaching practice. I choose when I work, who I work with, and set my rates. Now, I can work from home or travel with my husband and sons to beautiful locations around the world.
