Enrolled students receive a unique student meeting link for each class. They can access it from their learning dashboard.
Students pay the full session fee upfront, but you receive payments weekly. After you complete each week's classes, your earnings for that week are calculated. From your weekly earnings, 25% platform fee and 5% tax withholding are deducted, and the remaining 70% is deposited to your preferred account. You can withdraw funds anytime (minimum KES 500).
Your weekly gross payment is the total session fee divided by the number of weeks. For example, a 4-week session at KES 8,000 pays KES 2,000 gross per week. After fees (25% platform + 5% tax), you receive KES 1,400 net (70% of gross) each week after completing that week's classes.
No! Students pay upfront, but you get paid weekly as you teach. After completing each week's classes, that week's portion of the fee (minus platform fees and tax) is deposited to your account. This gives you steady cash flow throughout the session.
As long as you conducted the class as scheduled, you still get paid for that week. The payment is for delivering the class, regardless of individual student attendance. Make sure to mark attendance to track participation.
If you cancel a class, that week's payment may be adjusted. It's best to reschedule rather than cancel to ensure you receive full weekly payment. Communicate with your students and admin if issues arise.
The 25% platform fee covers platform maintenance, payment processing, customer support, marketing to bring students to the platform, and ongoing feature development.
