For Coaches

How to Become a Coach and Take the Assessment

1. Go to codeyogis.tech, open the Hub menu, and choose Become a Coach. Add your details, subjects, and a clear photo — a photo is required.
2. We email you the assessment test: 20 questions, one at a time, no timer. You get one submission.
3. Your result screen shows your score and your average time per question.
4. Our admin reviews your application and emails you the decision.

How to Publish Availability and Set Your Rates

1. Sign in through Coach Login in the Hub menu, using the one-time code we email you.
2. Pick a date, a start time, and a session length, then publish. Parents see the time in their own time zone automatically.
3. Set a rate for the slot — anything from free ($0) up to any amount. Leave it blank to use your default rate.
4. If you are in India, check the confirmation showing your slot in India time and U.S. Eastern time before it goes live.

How You Get Paid: Monthly Pay, UPI & Zelle

1. You are paid once a month for the sessions you actually taught. Your Teach page shows your monthly hours and the exact amount due.
2. Each session pays the rate that was set for its slot when the parent booked it.
3. Add your payment details on your coach profile: UPI QR code for coaches in India, Zelle details for coaches in the U.S.
4. Only the Code Yogis admin can see these details — parents never see them. Update them, and your photo, anytime.

For ONLINE coaches — watch this orientation if you teach online coaching sessions.

Coach Orientation: Teaching the Code Yogis Way

1. U.S. schools run on grades K-12, and most of our students are ages 7-14.
2. We run Math and Tech Leagues — competition thinking, not homework help.
3. Do: join every class through your Code Yogis join link. Don’t: never swap contact details or teach off-platform.
4. Download your class backdrop from your Teach page and set it in Google Meet.
5. Keep the description parents read warm, specific and current, and set each slot’s price as you publish it.
6. Use live practice in class: pick questions from a student’s past test and coach the retry live.

For IN-PERSON coaches — watch this orientation if you teach in person at the Northampton, Newtown, or Warwick centers.

In-Person Coach Orientation: Running a Great Class

1. Wear your Code Yogis t-shirt to every class.
2. When a student is stuck on practice, coach with hints — never just give the answer.
3. Students who finish fast and get bored get a live practice, not free time.
4. Clock in and clock out every class — your pay is calculated from your clocked time.
5. If a child is hurt: help them first, inform your manager right away, and make sure the parent is told the same day.
6. Seat bright, quiet students separately, and engage noisy students one-on-one so the class is never disturbed.
7. No personal phone use during class.
