Creative Arts Instructor for Kids & Teens

Wimzee

Los Angeles, CA • On-site, Remote

$25 - $75/hr

Contractor

Re-posted 11 days ago


Job description

Wimzee is the marketplace for whimsical creative experiences. We connect kids and teens (ages 3-18) with the people they actually want to learn from: working professional artists, musicians, and creators. Think of Wimzee as the "Airbnb for Creative Learning Experiences." We provide the infrastructure; you provide the craft. We are currently seeking high-caliber professionals to join our platform and turn their expertise into a thriving, independent teaching business.

The Role: Creative Entrepreneur & Mentor

We aren't looking for "tutors." We are looking for practitioners who want to build a brand. On Wimzee, you are the boss.

  • Design Your Curriculum: From 1:1 mentorship to small-group workshops, you teach what you love.
  • Set Your Value: You define your rates (typically $25-$75/hour) and keep the lion's share.
  • Own Your Time: Build a schedule that works around your auditions, recording sessions, or freelance deadlines.

Who You Are

  • The Active Professional: You are a working musician, visual artist, actor, writer, animator, or filmmaker. Your "street cred" is your greatest teaching tool.
  • The Hustler: You don't just wait for students to find you. You are excited to leverage your own network and social presence to jumpstart your studio.
  • The Advocate: You have a genuine knack for inspiring young people and can translate your "adult" professional world into engaging, digestible sessions.
  • Remote-Ready: You are tech-savvy, comfortable on camera, and know how to maintain high energy in a virtual setting.

Why Wimzee?

We handle the "boring stuff"-the platform, secure payments, and discovery infrastructure-so you can focus on your art. The instructors who thrive on Wimzee treat their profile like a creative business, actively promoting their classes and building a loyal following of students.

How to Apply

We value your work over a traditional resume. Submit your application via LinkedIn and include links to your portfolio, YouTube, SoundCloud, or personal website. Show us what you do.

Questions? Message us directly. We're excited to see what you're building.
