How to Teach Adults is for anyone in adult education, whether you teach in a classroom, a studio, or a dojo. This book will guide you through everything you need to know: from getting your first job, to planning your course, to teaching a class, to growing as a professional.

Thanks to hundreds of Kickstarter backers I raised the funds to edit, design, and have a small run print of How to Teach Adults. In exchange, I promised to make it available as a free, and beautiful eBook. (see below)

But the most common thing people tell me is, “I still want to buy it.” The truth is that all the money I raised went to producing this book. I literally have not made a dollar off it.

So I’m giving you the chance to give me a dollar =) You can download the book for free and then donate via PayPal (which I otherwise hate), OR contribute $10 or more and get a premium version of the eBook (which I’ll email to you) with a bonus chapter. There’s not much more content. But to this book on Amazon.com I had to offer a version of it not available for free. (You can also give $20 or more and receive a paper copy of How to Teach Adults.)

No matter what, I hope you read the book, find it useful, and pass it on to a friend. The world of adult education has given me so much; I know you’ll have the same experience.

Download the PDF – or Buy the Book

Here is the link to the free PDF of How to Teach Adults (along with the free EPUB for iPad & iPhone and free MOBI for Amazon Kindle). After downloading, I invite you to contribute via PayPal for the time spent writing this book and basically abandoning any hope of it ever getting conventionally published. If you pay $10 or more, I will email you the premium version in PDF, and/or MOBI or EPUB.
