  • We are a bit unique. I am not the Teacher for our little company, but help @JasonDion
    with the day to day operations with a focus on customer service. This all started by accident. Jason had been teaching in person at college at night and was about to change his day job to one that involved a lot of travel. He filmed his last in person class and put it on YouTube to help his students out. A friend suggested looking at Udemy, so we put it there and it easily out-performed YouTube the first month so we figured we would give it a go.

    This has turned out to be a huge passion for Jason, and a life changer for our family. We can now travel and do things on our time, when we want to do them, and still more than provide for our family and lifestyle.

  • For months, maybe even years I have been trying to get my in person #CookingsCool classes launched‍. I wrote my own [cooking] textbook to support my students through the classes - it’s been tough though, sometimes demotivating and I almost gave up. But I wasn’t ready to give up on my dream to teach as many people as possible how to prepare basic fresh, healthy meals for themselves and their families.

    Like most global businesses, COVID-19 presented lots of uncertainty and complexity. And in the midst of it all, I was inspired and saw an opportunity to pivot and convert my dream of opening a brick-and-mortar cooking school into an online one, which now affords me the opportunity to help loads of people to learn how to cook.

    So glad I was able to launch my first course with Udemy in October 2021! Proud to say that now #ITeachWithUdemy
