AI Instructor – AI for small business owners

Teach live online classes for small business owners on using AI to run their own business: customer messages, quotes and a clear monthly picture of sales and costs. You teach in English from a ready class kit, remotely, and you are paid for each class you teach.

What the work is for

YPAI Learn offers live classes that teach people to use AI in their own work and business. Your classes take owners from a full inbox to replies and quotes in their own voice, and from a month of sales and receipts to a one-page overview, and teach them to check prices against their own price list and totals against the bank statement.

The work

• Teach the live class “Answer customer messages and write quotes with an AI assistant”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Turn a month of sales and receipts into a one-page overview”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how to give an AI assistant your prices, services and tone, then draft a reply and a quote and check every price and term before sending.
• Walk learners through sorting a month of sample receipts and sales into categories in a spreadsheet, with AI explaining the steps and the owner checking each total.
• Help learners decide which questions belong with their accountant rather than AI, such as tax, and keep their customers' details private.

What to expect

• You teach in English, live and online, for owners of small businesses around the world; the application also asks which other languages you can teach in.
• Each class kit includes a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo for a sample bakery and a backup recording of the demo.
• You teach remotely, from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone, and a spreadsheet and AI assistant you can show on screen.
• Before the first class you teach, you pass the instructor test for that class.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.

What you bring

• Examples from your own business where AI saves you time, such as replies, quotes or a monthly overview, that you can show.
• Experience mentoring other owners, teaching a local business course or running workshops for small firms.
• Patience with owners who have little time, no IT staff and a lot of questions.

You need

• You own or have owned a small business, or have run one day to day, and use AI in that work.
• Practical experience with customers, quotes, and keeping track of sales and costs.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If you also hold a job whose contract requires approval for outside work, arrange it before you accept an assignment.
• Teaching depends on demand for the classes, and each invitation tells you the time commitment it expects.
• Applying costs nothing, and you do not need to buy or take any YPAI Learn course.
