Working 9-5 what a way to make living…
Are you pining for more out of life?
Have you considered teaching paddle sports? Starting your own business?
We want to support you!
Great teachers are mentored and created, no one was born knowing everything; we all learn from someone. This is your chance to join other Paddle Canada Instructors across Canada helping people become skilled safe paddlers!
#1 YOU’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT: KAYAK, SUP, CANOE
Depending on the stream you want to go down (pun intended) most times it’s easy to teach what you love.
You can hear the excitement in someone’s voice as they describe being on the water watching the sunset from their kayak.
Maybe this is you. You’re already stoked on the water and can’t wait to tell everyone you know about it.
#2 OFF SEASON INCOME
You have a busy winter season with work and as summer rolls around you have free time.
Or with the current state of world affairs you’re unable to work in your normal occupation.
Teaching Paddle Canada courses can become a source of income to supplement your life.
#3 NATURAL BORN LEADER
Do you find yourself being the leader of any situation even if it is unspoken?
Maybe you find it easy to make decisions when others struggle to pick a path.
This may be a sign you’re a natural to teach.
#4 SAFETY RANGER
Is it troubling when you see others engaging in unsafe practices?
Does your inner safety ranger cringe while watching a person headed out into a storm on a lake without a PFD or whistle?
Empower people to understand what is needed to prevent accidents on the water.
#5 RELATABLE
The smartest person in the world cannot share their knowledge if they speak in terms that the lay person can’t understand.
If you have the special ability to be able to break down skills into teachable pieces you are the perfect instructor candidate.
