This role is a great fit for a confident guitar teacher who enjoys being on camera, works well independently, and wants real ownership of the course-creation process.

Hours will flex based on each course's stage, with more time during filming and less during planning or review.

A good example from National Guitar Academy is Mike's stepping stone approach to chords. https://nationalguitaracademy.com/guides/beginners/how-to-use-stepping-stone-chords-to-learn-faster/ The video doesn't need to be highly produced. The goal is to get a quick sense of your presence on camera and your teaching style.
