Become A Teaching Artist! A Teaching Artist is someone who is paid $75 an hour or MORE to visit locations (schools, organizations, events, universities, etc.) and perform poetry or teach poetry workshops. Sergio Jimenez, your instructor for this course, will teach you how to become a teaching artist, and how he made $5,000 a MONTH just by teaching poetry. Learn how to get your poems ready to share with ANY audience, book performance opportunities, lead your OWN poetry workshops, get hired by organizations who NEED more poets, and work your OWN schedule!
