Ways to teach
- Mentoring. One-to-one sessions with newer physios, online or in person. Easy to start, priced per hour.
- Webinars. One live hour on a focused topic. A good test before building a course.
- Courses. Several recorded or live modules. More work, more reach.
- In-person workshops. Hands-on skills that need practice in the room.
- Tutoring and supervision for universities and students.
Build credibility honestly
Share what you know in posts and short videos, present at local professional meetings, and let colleagues see your thinking. Be clear about the evidence behind what you teach and where it is your experience.
Look after the practicalities
Check whether your course needs continuing professional development recognition for the audience you want. Keep slides, handouts and recordings tidy, and plan how attendees pay and get access.
Price it
Mentoring is usually priced like a consultation hour. Webinars and courses vary widely; look at what similar courses charge and start modestly.
Teaching sits beside other ways to earn from your expertise. See earning online as a physio, a second income stream and how smart physios do things differently.
