From Taking That Very First Step to Supporting Others with Shelly Leiser | 46
This week’s inspiring teacherpreneur journey is with Shelly of the TeacherVA. I loved chatting with her about her journey to becoming a VA and then supporting other teachers to get unstuck with her program TeacherVA. Shelly’s passion for helping fellow teachers truly shines through in everything she does.
This week’s inspiring teacherpreneur journey is with Shelly Leiser of TeacherVA.com
Shelley Leiser is a former teacher and owner of TeacherVA.com.
After teaching secondary ELA, Speech, and Theatre for over a decade, Shelley decided to take her interests outside of the classroom. In 2019, after years of listening to online business podcasts, Shelley decided to use virtual assisting and online freelancing as a means for earning money and writing her own exit ticket out of the classroom.
Shelley says that virtual assisting was the job she took so that she would have the money and financial freedom to figure out what she 'wanted to do when she grew up.' That is when she decided she wasn't ready to be done teaching yet.
In 2020, Shelley founded TeacherVA.com, a business dedicated to bridging the gap for teachers between the online business world and the classroom. TeacherVA.com provides virtual assistant training to classroom teachers who are looking for a little extra financial freedom either to supplement their teaching or help set them up to move on to a new career.
Shelley says she is tired of hearing teachers say they feel stuck, and she is dedicated to providing them with options for both improving their classroom experiences and introducing them to the online business world.
