From January 1st 2021 the number of hours you've taught through the platform has been logged. As your student list grows and you teach more lessons, so will the number of hours taught in your total.
Membership levels start at Basic and progress through Bronze, Silver, Gold to Platinum. The more hours you teach, the higher the level of your membership.
Once your total passes a marker, you’ll automatically be moved to the next level of membership with us. Blocks of lessons, Group lessons and Offers all count towards your membership level.
FAQs
How do I see what Membership level I’m on?
Log in to your account and your membership is displayed on your dashboard and also in the Settings section of your profile. You can see your total number of hours taught, your current level and how many more hours you’ve got to go until you reach the next level.
Will group lessons count towards my membership level? Yes. Just as in solo lessons, every hour of group teaching counts towards your membership level. Note that we base the calculations on your teaching hours and not on student hours. For example, if you teach an ensemble class with 6 participants for 60 minutes, one hour will be added to your membership level.
Will 'Offer' lessons count towards my membership level? Yes. Lessons delivered as part of an Offer will count towards your membership level in just the same way as a solo lesson will.
When do the calculations start? Calculations start from the first of January 2021.
What happens to lessons I’ve already booked in the system? From the time you are upgraded, all future lessons will be processed at your new level. That includes lessons that you’ve booked previously, but not taught yet.
Will this affect the price students see? No, student prices will not be affected. Instead, the percentage of the price the student pays which would usually come to the website as a platform fee is reduced, meaning less commission for us and more fees for you.
Will my students see what level I am? No, your membership level is shown only to you. It is not part of the public part of the platform.
Will my membership level go down? No. Membership levels are designed to only go up!
Will the total hour of lessons be reset at the end of the year? No. The total number of lessons taught will be an all-time calculation and will not be reset at the end of the year.
