For teachers: Frequently Asked Questions

We are very strict about the education level of applicants and require you to have at least a Bachelor’s degree. We need this because it is something that the parents of the world-class children we teach care about and trust us to maintain.

You must provide evidence of the degree with one of the following:

Yes it is valid.

No, teachers can teach any student who books their class.

Once you start signing up, you’ll have access to on-demand training, webinars, and even free online coaching.

Once you start the registration process, we send you emails reminding you what to do next, so pay attention to your inbox.

No commitment, you can work as much or as little as you want.

Yes you can! Flexibility is one of the best advantages when teaching at StarlyKID.

StarlyKID sets no limits on how much a teacher can teach – you have 100% control over your schedule. However, off-peak hours may not be popular with our students as they are not available for classes (possibly because they are in school or asleep). Please also note that as students and parents get to know and try out new teachers, the time required to achieve a relatively stable class flow may vary.

If you are not available to teach or want to take some time off, simply close your schedule during the holidays. Remember, you determine your own schedule.

StarlyKID teachers earn $7 per lesson or $14 per hour.

StarlyKID signs a 1-year contract with our teachers.

Although StarlyKID fully exposes students to the foreign language taught, teachers are required to have an advanced level of English in order to understand what children say and to communicate with parents when they cannot express themselves in Turkish.< /span>

Traveling on the go can be done with grace. Once you’re still, we recommend preparing for your lesson with an educational tapestry, computing device/tablet, portable clip-on selfie light, and essential accessories. Most importantly, if you don’t have wifi access, make sure you have a portable hotspot.

The interview is very important because it will help you decide whether you are suitable along with your qualifications. It will also determine your first payment.

You will need to demonstrate how well you can explain activities to a beginning student, how you can work with them to get complete answers, your teaching skills, and your time management.

At StarlyKID, lessons are one-on-one and group lessons for a maximum of 3 people.

No, our office staff will handle this for you.

We have developed our own state-of-the-art platform to facilitate our one-on-one lessons.

Teachers are paid via direct bank deposit between the 15th and 20th of each month.

Each class is guaranteed 25 minutes of active teaching time. After that, it may take a few minutes for teachers to leave a comment. Total time commitment is 30 minutes per class, excluding prep time. Three minutes are also allowed for possible technical issues before a lesson is cancelled.

It is recommended that teachers enter their weekly availability one month in advance. Teachers can be booked for lessons on weekdays, at least 24 hours in advance. We encourage all teachers to check their email and schedule daily.

Earnings are calculated based on the number of classes you teach and your base pay rate per class, which is $7 per class. Since the lessons are 25 minutes each, you can earn $14 per hour.

StarlyKID, you sign 12-month contracts with teachers and can work as little or as much as you want.

We do not withhold taxes from independent contractors. As independent contractors, you are responsible for your own taxes in accordance with individual tax laws.

Thanks to the reference system, you earn two lesson fee bonuses for every new teacher you recruit to StarlyKID.

Only StarlyKID teachers and teacher candidates can participate in the reference system.

When you become a reference, you can send an e-mail to the StarlyKID e-mail address for flyers, images, creatives and blog materials that will help with your promotion.

Your partnership premium fee will be deposited into your account after each teacher you bring to our online language school as a reference completes their first month with their first student.
