How It Works for Teachers - PodsCool

For teachers

Teach your way. We handle the rest.

This is the teacher dashboard itself, with sample data.

1

Get verified.

Twelve steps take your profile from blank to ready for families. Upload your highest credential, a diploma, certificate or transcript, and we review it, so it shows on your profile and your pods. The last step is a background check through Checkr. When it comes back clear, the blue Verified badge goes on your profile.

2

Build a pod.

You don't set a price. Pick the pod's length in credits, and the hours and the price follow. You see what you keep before you publish.

3

Let Pod Builder draft it.

Describe the course, and Pod Builder drafts it week by week. You edit every part before families see it.

4

Families find you.

Your pods are in Browse Pods, and families find your profile in Browse Teachers. Matchmaking shows you families looking for a pod like yours, and they decide whether to reach out. With the teacher plan, Spotlight puts your profile first on Browse Teachers for a week.

5

Teach in the pod.

Every pod has its own room: classwork, a whiteboard, Podium, flashcards and grades, with the Meet link in every session.

7

Room for your files.

Worksheets and notes live with the pod. 3 GB is free, the $19 teacher plan raises it to 30 GB, and 10 GB more is $5 a month.
