You teach. Qlive handles the rest.
Here's what a week as a Qlive teacher looks like, from the hours you choose to the money in your account, and who takes care of what along the way.
A week, step by step
-
Step 1
Set your hours
In Educate, mark the hours you can teach. New classes are only placed inside them, and an empty week simply means no new students. Keep them honest: marking yourself free when you're busy means fewer classes are offered to you.
-
Step 2
Say yes to a student
When a family needs a teacher like you, you get an invite with the classes per week, their length, the times and the language. Accept it, decline it or suggest another time. Your rate for that student is fixed when you accept.
-
Step 3
Confirm and prepare
Confirm each class the family agreed to in Educate. Before class, open the lesson in Qlive Space's Review & Prep mode to look over the materials and activities.
-
Step 4
Teach in Qlive Space
Join five minutes early. Tap Join Space and talk to your student on Google Meet, camera on. Run the lesson's activities, use the board, and ask PenQ for a quick quiz or diagram. Classes are one-to-one, usually 60 minutes, and recorded.
-
Step 5
Send your feedback
Thirty minutes into class, the feedback form opens in Educate: how well it landed, what you covered, anything to flag, and whether a parent needs a follow-up. Type it or record a voice note.
-
Step 6
Set and mark work
Set assignments and classwork in Pulse and mark them from your list. Ask for weekly worksheets and checkpoints every two to three weeks, and Qlive's academic team prepares and marks them for you.
-
Step 7
Stay in touch, in the right place
Each student has two chats in Educate: one with the Qlive team only, and one the student and parents can see. Anything bigger with a family goes through their Success Partner.
-
Step 8
Get paid each month
You're paid monthly, by the 15th of the following month, for approved class hours logged in Qlive Space. Educate shows your earnings, bonuses and every transaction.
Who does what around each student
Qlive isn't a teacher marketplace. Every student has a small team, and you're the centre of it, not on your own.
- You, the teacher
- Plan, teach, send feedback after each class, set and mark your own work, and tell us early if anything worries you.
- The Student Success Partner
- Looks after the family: updates, scheduling, questions and concerns. Reads your feedback, so you don't have to repeat it to parents.
- Qlive's academic team
- Reviews auditions and training, prepares and marks worksheets, checkpoints and term exams, and checks in with you about how teaching is going.
- Qlive Space and PenQ
- The lesson, activities and board in one place, with an AI helper that makes quizzes, practice cards and diagrams in seconds.
The standards we keep
Families trust us with their child's learning. These are the basics every Qlive teacher agrees to.
- A laptop or desktop to teach on. Phones aren't used for teaching.
- Internet of 10 Mbps or better, and a headset if you can.
- A pen tablet or stylus for maths and the sciences.
- Camera on for the whole class, dressed as if meeting the parent.
- Join five minutes early. Give at least 12 hours' notice to move a class.
- If you ever leave, 15 days' written notice and a proper handover of plans and notes, so your student carries on without a gap.
Who decides what I teach in class?
You do, following the student's school syllabus and the plan from their assessment. Lessons and activities in Qlive Space give you a head start, and the academic team is there if you want a second opinion.
Do I talk to parents directly?
Day to day, through the student chat in Educate, which parents can see. For anything bigger, such as a concern, fees or a schedule change, the family's Success Partner takes it, so you can focus on teaching.
Are classes recorded?
Yes. Recordings help the academic team review teaching and support you, and keep everyone safe. They belong to Qlive.
What happens if I need time off?
Request it in Educate with a reason and Qlive will confirm it. The earlier you ask, the easier it is to plan around your students.
