Being Tea offers accessible options for private tea classes, online
No matter if you’re local to me in Chicago or you live in another state or even country, you can have access to high quality, personalized education through private tea classes here at Being Tea.
Over the years, I’ve learned that some of the most enduring lessons can come from working with a teacher through private instruction. Unfortunately, sometimes we don’t always have access to a local tea shop or knowledgeable educator to learn about tea with directly. This can be very frustrating and often holds people back from engaging with tea as a hobby or professional interest. However, online education means there’s always tea classes near you!
Together, we plan highly focused workshops and sessions built around your professional or personal needs. Whether you’d just like a personal refresher course in a particular subject, or you need a longer term mentorship (such as in my Teacher Training program), I’m available for you!
Why private tea classes might be a good fit for you
There are any number of reasons why someone seeks out private instruction. Just speaking from my own experience as an introvert, I tend to gravitate toward small groups or individual interactions in social settings. Over the years, I found this preference absolutely translated to how I enjoy learning, too. Some of my most foundational experiences as a learner, really in any subject, have been in private instruction.
Working with a private teacher quieted the busyness in my mind, so I could focus just on the instruction. I didn’t have to worry about what I looked like, what people thought of my abilities, or how much time I needed to do something.
I’ve worked with many people in private tea classes over the years. Some situations include:
– Mentoring newer tea professionals in their job
– Improving tea tasting skills
– Teacher training (private instruction is an option for this program!)
– Studying tea meditation for self-care
– Personal schedule that excludes regular group class availability
– Feeling uncomfortable in public group settings, for any reason. (knowledge level, lack of inclusive space, physical limitations, history of trauma or anxiety)
My rates for private tea classes are comparable to personal sessions in fields like yoga, fitness training, and psychotherapy.
Loose leaf tea can also be included where relevant for us to taste the same teas together, as well as for accessibility reasons. Also, reduced rates for private tea classes are available in some financially sensitive circumstances.
