Add a subject nobody else in your city teaches — and keep every cent you charge for it.
The Kid Startupper platform is completely free for freelance educators. You bring your own students, set your own price, teach on your own schedule — and we take nothing from your lesson fee.
Teach
You are the lesson
You teach live, one-on-one or in small groups. Your student doesn't watch pre-recorded videos — you guide them through the curriculum in every session.
Your schedule, your rules
Evenings, weekends, school holidays. You decide when you teach and how many students you take on.
Teach from anywhere
From your own space or fully online. No commute, no classroom rental, no geographic limit on who you teach.
You set the price
We never touch your lesson fee. Whatever you charge per hour is yours — in full, every time.

You are not a supplement to a video course. You are the teacher.
This is not a platform where students watch pre-recorded lessons and you check in occasionally. This is live, personal teaching — with a world-class curriculum and every material already prepared for you.
These are two different products, not two versions of the same thing. Families who choose a freelance educator are choosing live, personal teaching. They know exactly what they are paying for.
You stop competing with every other tutor in your area.
Maths, languages, exam preparation — those markets are saturated and price-sensitive. The parent is comparing you against a dozen alternatives on price alone.
Entrepreneurship for children is not a saturated market. In most cities it does not exist at all. You are not the cheaper option. You are the only option — and parents who want it are looking specifically for someone who can deliver it.
They also see something tangible at the end: a business their child built, a plan they wrote, a pitch they delivered. That is far easier to justify renewing than another term of grammar drills.
What you actually earn — with real numbers
No revenue share. No commission. No monthly fee. The example below uses $20/hour but your rate is your own — in the US, specialist tutors typically charge $40–70/hour for this type of work.
Two separate payments. One goes to the platform, one goes to you.
The student pays $200 to Kid Startupper for their cycle access (e-books, quizzes, AI mentor, platform). They pay you separately for the 22 live teaching sessions at whatever hourly rate you set.
Set your own rate. The $200 platform fee is fixed and paid by the student directly to us — it never comes out of your earnings and we never see your fee. Specialist entrepreneurship tutoring in the US typically commands $40–70 per hour.
Teaching in groups multiplies this further — your hourly rate stays the same whether you teach one student or six.
Four steps from registration to your first paid lesson
No screening fees, no subscriptions, no minimum commitment.
Register free and complete your training
Registration costs nothing. You then complete a one to two hour training session by teleconference with our education team, covering the curriculum, the platform and how to run a session.
Training is free and stays free — request a refresher any time.
Bring your own students, aged 10 to 15
These are students you already work with or find yourself. Most educators start with families they already teach and expand by word of mouth — entrepreneurship is unusual enough that parents talk about it.
Student pays the platform, then you begin
The student pays $200 directly to Kid Startupper for their cycle access. Once confirmed, their account activates and their AI mentor is ready. Your own fee is arranged directly with the family — we are never involved.
You teach live, with everything prepared for you
You open the lesson plan, run the session, and guide the student through the platform. No lecture to write, no material to source, no quiz to create. You focus on the teaching — the curriculum does the rest.
Who we accept as a freelance educator
- A background in STEAM education or educational robotics teaching — this is our core requirement
- A degree in education is preferred but not mandatory if your teaching experience is strong
- Comfortable working with children aged 10 to 15
- Every applicant goes through a short screening process, which may include an interview and a review of your credentials
Live teaching, not a video to watch
You guide your student through the platform in every session — from your own space or fully online.
Sessions run from your own space or fully online — your student builds their business while you guide them.
What you need to start teaching
Four things. Most educators already have all of them.
Desktop or laptop
The teaching platform does not support phones or tablets on the educator side.
Stable internet
A fast, reliable connection so sessions run without interruption.
HD webcam
Children engage far better when they can see you clearly.
Quality microphone
Clear audio matters more than video quality in an online lesson.
You never write a lesson from scratch
Everything below is included at no cost, from your very first student.
Lesson Plans
Complete, structured plans for every session — objectives, timings and activities for you to follow.
Printable PDF Materials
Worksheets, handouts and templates ready to print or share on screen.
Presentations
Ready-made slide decks for every chapter, designed for the age group and built to project.
Exercises
Practical activities students complete inside the platform during your session.
Quizzes
Automatic marking — you see results without correcting anything.
Complete E-books
Full entrepreneurship e-books for every cycle, downloadable by every student.
Run your sessions on any of these. The Kid Startupper platform works in a standard browser — nothing to install on either side.
What freelance educators ask us
Answered directly.
No. Registration is free, training is free, all teaching materials are free, and we take no commission on your lesson fee. The only payment is the $200 per study cycle that the student pays directly to the platform for their own access — that money never passes through you.
No. When a student learns with a freelance educator, there are no pre-recorded video lessons — you are the lesson. You guide them through the curriculum live in every session. They still have access to the AI mentor Andrew, the e-books, the platform, the quizzes and all exercises. But the teaching comes from you.
That is entirely your decision and we never see or take a share of it. As a reference point, specialist tutors in the US typically charge $40–70 per hour for subjects at this level of specificity. Because entrepreneurship education for children is rare — and in most cities nonexistent — you are not competing on price. Set a rate you are comfortable with and that reflects the rarity of what you offer.
Yes. The platform does not assign students to you. Most educators start with families they already teach, then grow through word of mouth. Once accepted you can promote your services through your own channels using your Kid Startupper educator credentials.
A background in STEAM education or educational robotics teaching is our core requirement. A degree in education is preferred but not mandatory where teaching experience is strong. You do not need a business qualification — the curriculum content is delivered by the platform and the materials we provide.
Yes. We review every application, which may include an interview and a review of your credentials. We are protecting the children on the platform and the reputation of every other educator on it.
Twenty-two lessons, running up to a maximum of twelve months. There are three core study cycles, so the same student can stay with you for up to three years.
Yes. You can group students together on the platform. Each student still needs their own $200 platform access, but your hourly rate applies to the whole session — which is where the earnings become significantly more attractive.
Wherever suits you — from your own teaching space, or fully online via Google Meet, Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams, Skype or similar. The Kid Startupper platform runs in a browser on both sides.
Technical and pedagogical support throughout the year, plus free additional training sessions whenever you need one. Details on our support page.
Teach something parents cannot find anywhere else in your city.
Free platform. Free training. Free materials. Your students, your price, your schedule — and no commission taken from a single lesson you deliver.
