AI Instructor – AI for designers

Teach live online classes for product and UX designers on using AI in research synthesis, exploring directions and reviewing finished screens. 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 runs live classes on using AI in your own profession. Your classes take designers from a stack of user interview notes to three directions they can defend, and from finished screens to a review of accessibility and wording, and teach them to measure contrast with a checker and trace each insight back to what a user said.

The work

• Teach the live class “Turn user interviews into three design directions with AI”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Review your screens for accessibility and microcopy with AI”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how AI clusters interview notes into needs and pain points, and how to check each cluster against the quotes before it drives a design direction.
• Walk learners through an accessibility pass: contrast measured with a checker, alt text, focus order, error messages and labels, with AI suggesting fixes the designer decides on.
• Help learners whose three directions are really one idea repeated, or whose AI suggestions break the design system they work in.

What to expect

• You teach live online classes in English to designers in many countries. The application asks too which other languages you can teach in.
• With each class you get a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo on a sample app's screens and a backup recording of the demo.
• You teach remotely from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone and the design tool you will share on screen.
• To teach a class, you first pass its instructor test.
• 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

• A case study from your own design work where AI helped, with the research, the options and the decision you made.
• Experience running design critiques, mentoring junior designers or teaching UX or interaction design.
• Patience with designers who fear AI will replace their craft rather than speed up the dull parts.

You need

• You work or have worked as a product, UX or interaction designer and use AI in that work.
• Practice with user research, design systems and accessibility guidelines such as WCAG.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If you are employed and your contract needs approval for outside work, arrange that first, before accepting an assignment.
• How often you teach depends on class demand, and each invitation states the expected commitment of your time.
• Applying is free; there is no YPAI Learn course you need to buy or take.
