Applicant FAQ
Do I need teaching experience?+
No. We train every teen teacher on the curriculum and methodology. What matters is fluency in English and commitment.
How much time does it take each week?+
About 1h30 every two weeks: one lesson plus light prep. Lessons are online, so you can teach from anywhere.
Do I get paid?+
No — teen volunteers aged 14–18 are not paid. Once they turn 19, teen teachers can continue with us as paid pedagogical support coordinators.
What level of English do I need?+
B2 or equivalent fluency. If you're not sure, apply anyway and we'll assess together.
Can I apply if I'm under 14 or over 18?+
Teen teachers are 14–18. After that you can grow into a pedagogical support coordinator role.
When do I hear back?+
We review applications on a rolling basis and respond within 4 weeks.
