Not only has Debbie Hodge mastered the game of online business, she is also a master teacher. What a gift to have her as my guide in the daunting effort of online course creation. Her course materials are deep, yet efficient; organized, yet flexible; and beautiful, but clear. A great model for my own course!

When I began studying with Debbie, I didn’t have any previous knowledge or experience in creating, producing or launching an online class, but with this one course I was able to do all of it from start to finish… class launched in 3 ½ months!!  Debbie has a wonderful style of teaching, and she is extremely engaged and responsive to questions via email, private Facebook group and live calls.

I have purchased my share of online courses. I love Debbie’s teaching style and delivery, and, most importantly, she is passionate about teaching. Her own experiences are shared using different platforms, techniques, and everyday language that even a novice can understand. If you are a “do-it-yourself” type and need to know how all the pieces fit together then the Teach What You Do training is for you.

Debbie’s course is amazing!!! Really amazing… and I say that as someone who takes tons of courses. It is clear she is an educator in addition to having mastery of the topic. I say that as an educator, myself. Lots of people know their stuff, but being able to translate that into well-designed, useful lessons for people who are not experts is an entirely different skill set.

I spent five hours straight today and I have every lesson and all the exercises and even the bonuses for my course outlined. I feel like everything I have learned and known for years just flew out of me and onto the pages. The workbook pages were awesome and easy to use. This work made me believe not only I can do this, but I was born to do this! It will be a lot to work to write it all up, but I think I have a great plan to follow. I just wanted to say thank you!
