Build the skills for this role
Prioritize savory fundamentals (stocks, proteins, vegetables), clear demo pacing, and adult instruction. Food safety credentials help; no specific cert packages were supplied in the data.
Be ready to walk through a 20–30 minute savory lesson plan, how you handle mixed skill levels, and kitchen safety under time pressure. Ask how seasonal class calendars and prep support work on site in McLean.
Strong fit if you teach savory cooking confidently in a fixed, non-remote McLean setting and can ramp for a seasonal schedule. Public data here is thin on role scope and compensation—clarify those in process.
