INTRODUCING

eDirection: Online Teaching Mastery


A 5-Week "done with you" program that'll provide you with the materials and training on how to create a professional course you'll be proud to promote.

This is the only course you'll need to create a sustainable online-teaching practice.

eDirection offers you the convenience of self-paced training so you can learn the ropes in between your busy schedule. 

Our weekly drop-in "Coaching Gym" style Live Q&A sessions on Zoom are the perfect companion to this self-paced course. Here is where you'll get accountability, peer support, and ongoing motivation to follow through.

eDirection will teach you how to produce high-quality educational-video content that others will want to buy.


This Course Is For You If...

  • You’re a professional educator who wants to translate your curriculum into EITHER a video on demand course, OR live-online group program.

  • You've been waiting for a course that provides you with writing templates for this business model; from curriculum writing to landing pages to trailers.

  • You’re an expert in your field. Writing, teaching, and holding space comes easy to you, but you lack the technical foundation. You don't know what or how to film yourself.

  • You can see yourself creating an eLearning Course but you really don't know where to begin with marketing your course; running ads might be totally foreign to you.

  • You're busy. You want a one-stop course that you can take on your own time. You're willing to commit to an accelerated timeline because you're committed to making this work. You want to launch your course by the time you finish this one.

Mike Buffo has a few unusual qualities. He listens and he actually really enjoys problem-solving and finding common ground. His expertise in all things “electronic-direction” helped me move quickly, within budget, and with a stunning result of filling my private practice. Highly recommend.

Mike Buffo created a fabulous course platform for people who have something that they want to say and need help converting to a virtual business. The resources were relevant, helpful and easy to access. Weekly virtual classes kept us accountable and focused and gave us the chance to test out our ideas with others to fine-tune our offerings and expand our ideas when approaching a virtual community. I really had a lot of valuable takeaways from this course and recommend it to others.

Instructor Bio

Instructional-Video Producer





 I am a full-time professional; practicing all phases of stage and screen production including development, event coordination, production management, technical direction, stage management, camera operation, broadcasting, video editing, distribution, marketing, & advertising. My production company averages 40-50 productions/year with budgets ranging from in-kind to $200k. My Vimeo channel hosts 500+ professionally produced videos and my clients rank among the most reputable businesses producing our region's most important cultural events on the Monterey Peninsula region & beyond.

I use my creative acumen in video production to successfully align my clients' personal missions with their business goals.

I am a former professional athlete, actor, and healer. Now I'm a proud father of three boys, and content-creation coach.

Hi, I'm Mike Buffo (pronounced BUFF-O), 

I am a passionate alternative-education pioneer who believes that the best teaching finds the right balance between the theoretical and the practical.

I bring over 10 years of entrepreneurial experience across diverse education and entertainment industries. I am a Certified Body/Mind Therapist, Transformational Leader, and Virtual Online Leader Trainer. I authored the curriculum, "Digital Performing Arts," a one-year course curriculum for public high-schools in Central California; where I have written the instruction method, objectives, learning outcomes, and assignment schedules that meet all the public education standards in 10 subjects from screenwriting to cinematography, to directing to editing, to acting to new subjects like Transmedia Communications.
