Why does a former teacher make a great virtual assistant?
Let's start with Lesson Planning!
I had detailed and well-thought-out plans for every school day. ➡️ This is time management.
I put higher order thinking questions in my lessons. ➡️ This is knowing how/when to ask the right questions to a client.
I have pre-planned how to handle misconceptions during my teaching. I consciously use kid-friendly language to avoid this as much as possible. ➡️ This is customer support.
Sometimes my plans just don’t work out, so I change them up. ➡️ This is being flexible and adaptive.
The examples could keep going! But remember, an educator has a wide set of skills that can be easily transferable to meet your needs and goals.
Don't underestimate them!
