Teachers, Classes & Lessons Insurance
Commercial General Liability built and priced for teachers, tutors, and instructors, in a digital experience you'll love.
Backed by industry leaders
Why do teachers and instructors need insurance?
You teach in home studios, community centers, rented rooms, and students' living rooms, with instruments, supplies, and students in every corner. When a student gets hurt or something gets damaged, Commercial General Liability is the policy that answers.
It can cover the claim and the legal defense, which is why most community centers, studios, and venues want your certificate on file before you teach there.

What other coverages do teachers and instructors need?
Errors & Omissions
For the advice, coaching, and expertise side of your work: claims of financial loss caused by the guidance or service you provided.
See E&O Coverage →Can cover medical care and lost wages when one of your own employees, like another teacher you hire, is hurt on the job. Required in most U.S. states the moment you hire your first employee.
Learn More→Can cover the vehicles you drive to students' homes and teaching spaces. Your personal auto policy very likely excludes business use.
Learn More→Can cover a breach of student data, a ransomware lock-out on your booking app, or a payment wired to a fraudster.
Learn More→Can cover your own gear, like instruments, amps, art supplies, and teaching materials. CGL only covers other people's property, so this is the other half of the pair.
Learn More→It depends on what you teach (music, art, dance, or academic subjects), your revenue, and where you teach. The quote you see online is the real price, not an estimate we revise later.
Depending on where your business is located and the work that you do, coverage limits available to you range from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.
Your first COI is emailed the moment your payment clears. After that you can issue a new one yourself - including naming an additional insured - in about a minute, as many times as you need, at no charge.
Yes, and we don't charge for it. Add them during the application or any time after, then download the certificate showing them named.
Usually, yes. A homeowner's policy won't respond to a business claim, and a solo teacher faces the same injury and damage claims a large school does. Most studios, venues, and community centers require it in writing before you begin.
Yes. Pay the annual premium up front, or spread it across monthly installments at checkout. Either way, coverage starts as soon as the first payment is confirmed.
What real small business owners say after choosing Foxquilt.
Figures as of November 2026.
The process was smooth and simple. In addition to that, they offered the best coverage out of all of the other companies I researched.
I've been a client at Foxquilt for the past year, having switched my business insurance over because of their affordable rates and seamless service. I recently had to file a claim and couldn't be more pleased with the care and service that Nick offered in the process. Thanks to him, things got resolved quickly and easily. Happy to have landed at Foxquilt.
