So you’re studio is growing and you need an assistant in your classes. This is a great problem to have! But how does the mentoring process work? What are the parameters for successfully mentoring an apprentice instructor, giving them just the right amount of responsibilities? It is a delicate balance. Here are some points to remember.
Remember that the goal of having procedures for assistant/apprentice instructors is to support growth for all parties involved including students, the assistant, and the studio. It will take some time to establish, but once procedures are in place the process should develop a nice flow. Don’t have time to mentor your own apprentices? The Born to Fly Aerial Teacher Certificate can be completed at a number of different studios across the country. Trainees can receive live mentorship at each of these studios.
