Questions

How are coaches certified?

Step 1: Application

Candidates submit their application for invitation detailing their accomplishments within their discipline, professional and nonprofessional teaching experience, areas of expertise within their art form and personal capability.

Step 2: Interview

If their application passes, candidates are scheduled for an interview via video chat with our CEO. They are asked to elaborate on their application and given a chance to show their ability to command attention, display their comfort on video, and effectively communicate via video chat.

Step 3: Certified Test Lessons:

Finally, candidates conduct lessons with a control student trained specifically to create a difficult teaching situation. Additionally, a staff member will be present on the call. After each lesson, the student and staff member grade the candidate on a 50 point scale. Candidates must pass two test lessons with different course topics with a score of 85% or better.

How are those "test lessons" graded?
