1. About Kodland 👨💻👩💻
Kodland is an international online school helping kids aged 8–17 build real digital skills — Python, Roblox, Minecraft, Digital Creativity, and more. We work with students and families across the US, Europe, the UK, CIS, Latin America, MENA, and beyond, all through live 1:1 or small-group Zoom classes with a project-based approach.
Our mission: help kids become confident, curious thinkers who are comfortable with technology and problem-solving.

2. A Day in the Life of a TCM 🎬
Curious what this actually looks like day to day? This short video shows a typical TCM schedule, how a real trial lesson unfolds, and what the conversation with parents feels like.
👉 Watch it before applying — it's the fastest way to know if this role fits your lifestyle.
3. What You'll Actually Be Doing 🎧
Each trial lesson, you'll:
• Meet the child and at least one parent on Zoom
• Build rapport and ask the right questions to understand the child's background, interests, and goals
• Lead a short hands-on activity (simple coding, game logic, or digital task) using ready-made materials
• Recommend the best-fit program based on what you observe
• Answer questions, address concerns, and guide the family to a clear decision
This role blends three skill sets:
🎓 Teaching — explaining clearly and keeping kids engaged
🗣 Communication — listening well and adapting to each family
💼 Sales — showing value and confidently closing when it's a good fit
This isn't a scripted call-center job. You'll get structure and materials, but you're expected to think on your feet and lead the conversation.
4. Schedule & Availability 🕒
• Weekdays: mainly 14:00–21:00 UK time
• Weekends: mainly 11:00–18:00 UK time
• 5 days/week, with 1 weekday off + 1 weekend day off
Exact hours are negotiable, but we need consistent weekly availability so we can plan ahead and keep families from waiting.
5. Pay & Earning Potential 💶
Independent contractor role, paid twice a month, built on two parts:
• Base pay: €6 per completed trial (up to €7.50 based on your grade)
•
Bonus: 5–10% of your monthly sales — the better your conversion rate, the higher your %
📌 Admin hours are paid at the same rate as trial classes.
What that looks like in real numbers (based on internal averages, part-time):
• 🌱 New to the role: ~€700/month
• 📈 Steady performers: €1,100+/month
• 🏆 Top performers: up to €1,900/month
You'll get regular feedback, coaching, and webinars to help you grow — income increases with skill, consistency, and effort, but it's a real, achievable path even part-time.
