Teaching on this platform changed everything for me. I went from struggling to find students locally to having a full schedule of learners from five different countries. The tools make it so easy.

I teach Japanese part-time while working my day job. The flexible scheduling means I can teach 3-4 classes on evenings and weekends. The monthly payouts are always on time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about teaching on Ricki.

How much can I earn?
Your earnings depend on how many classes you teach and which types. Group classes with 20 students earn you up to $80 per class. Small group classes earn up to $72, and private 1-on-1 sessions earn $20 each. Many part-time teachers earn $1,000+ per month. There's no cap on how many classes you can teach.
What's the revenue split?
Ricki takes 60% and you keep 40% of class revenue. This covers the platform infrastructure, student acquisition, payment processing, LiveKit video hosting, and marketing. Your per-class earnings are: Group $4.00/student, Small Group $12.00/student, Private $20.00/student.
How do classes work technically?
Classes are conducted via LiveKit, a high-quality video conferencing system built into the platform. You and your students join a virtual classroom with video, audio, screen sharing, and a chat sidebar. No additional software downloads are needed -- everything runs in the browser.
What if a student doesn't show up?
Students pay when they register for a class. If a student doesn't show up, you still receive your share of the payment for that registration. Students may request a credit for future classes from our support team, but this doesn't affect your earnings.
When do I get paid?
Teacher earnings are paid out monthly, within the first 5 business days of each month for the previous month's classes. You can choose to receive payments via PayPal or bank transfer. Your earnings dashboard shows real-time totals so you always know exactly how much you've earned.
Can I teach multiple languages?
Absolutely! If you're fluent in multiple languages, you can create class listings for each one. Many of our top teachers offer classes in 2-3 languages, which increases their reach and earning potential. Just select all applicable languages during your application.
What equipment do I need?
You need a computer or laptop with a webcam, a microphone (built-in or external), a stable internet connection (at least 10 Mbps upload), and a quiet teaching space with good lighting. A headset is recommended for better audio quality. No special software is required.
How do students find my classes?
Once approved, your teacher profile and class listings appear in our Live Classes marketplace. Students can browse by language, schedule, teacher rating, and class type. Our AI matching system also recommends your classes to students learning the languages you teach. The better your ratings, the higher you appear in search results.
