3. What You'll Actually Be Doing
Each trial lesson, you'll:
- Meet the child and at least one parent on Zoom
- Build rapport and ask the right questions to understand the child's background, interests, and goals
- Lead a short hands-on activity (simple coding, game logic, or digital task) using ready-made materials
- Recommend the best-fit program based on what you observe
- Answer questions, address concerns, and guide the family to a clear decision
This role blends three skill sets:
Teaching - explaining clearly and keeping kids engaged
Communication - listening well and adapting to each family
Sales - showing value and confidently closing when it's a good fit
This isn't a scripted call-center job. You'll get structure and materials, but you're expected to think on your feet and lead the conversation.
4. Schedule & Availability
- Weekdays: mainly 14:00-21:00 CDT
- Weekends: mainly 11:00-18:00 CDT
- 5 days/week, with 1 weekday off + 1 weekend day off
Exact hours are negotiable, but we need consistent weekly availability so we can plan ahead and keep families from waiting.
We ask you to honor the slots you commit to - but we're human about it. Life happens; just give us a heads-up so we can adjust smoothly.
5. Pay & Earning Potential
Independent contractor role, paid
twice a month, built on two parts:
- Base pay: $8 per completed trial (up to $9.50 based on your grade)
- Bonus: 5-10% of your monthly sales - the better your conversion rate, the higher your %
Admin hours are paid at the same rate as trial classes.
What that looks like in real numbers (based on internal averages, part-time):
- New to the role: ~$700/month
- Steady performers: $1,200+/month
- Top performers: up to $2,200/month
You'll get regular feedback, coaching, and webinars to help you grow - income increases with skill, consistency, and effort, but it's a real, achievable path even part-time.
