About Kodland
Kodland is an international online school that helps children develop practical digital skills and learn how to use technology creatively and responsibly. We teach children aged 8–17, offering programs in Python, Roblox, Minecraft, Digital Creativity, and other modern digital disciplines. Kodland operates globally, working with students and families across Europe, the UK, the USA, CIS, Latin America, MENA, and other regions. All classes are delivered live via Zoom, in 1:1 or small-group formats, with a strong focus on project-based learning. Our mission is to help children grow into confident, logical thinkers with strong technological literacy and problem-solving skills.
What Does a Trial Class Manager (TCM) Do?
A Trial Class Manager (TCM) is responsible for delivering the very first online trial lesson and guiding families through their initial decision about learning with Kodland. During each trial session, you will:
- Meet the child and at least one parent via Zoom
- Build rapport and ask targeted questions to understand the child’s background, interests, goals, and prior experience
- Lead a short hands-on activity (simple coding, game logic, or digital task) using our prepared materials
- Recommend the most suitable program and learning format, based on the child’s needs and engagement during the trial
- Answer questions, handle basic objections, and guide the family toward a clear “yes/no” decision regarding enrollment
This role is a combination of:
- Education — explaining concepts clearly and keeping the child engaged
- Communication — listening carefully, asking the right questions, and adapting your approach to each family
- Sales — demonstrating value, discussing pricing transparently, and confidently closing when there is a fit
This is not a pure teaching role and not a scripted call-center position. You will be provided with structure, materials, and guidance — but you are expected to think independently, adapt to each family, and actively lead the conversation.
Schedule & Availability
When do TCMs usually work?
- Weekdays: primarily between 14:00–21:00 CDT time
- Weekends: primarily between 11:00–18:00 CDT time
The standard setup includes 5 working days per week, with 1 weekday off, and 1 day off on Saturday or Sunday. Exact hours are negotiable, but consistent weekly availability is required so we can plan schedules in advance and reliably allocate trial classes.
Typical workload progression
After passing probation period: You start with 15 trial class hours per week, plus around 3 administrative hours (1:1s, team meetings, internal webinars). As you gain experience, your schedule typically increases to 20 trial class hours per week.
