AI Instructor – Supabase

Teach live online classes on Supabase as the backend of apps built with AI: Postgres tables, sign-in, file storage, Edge Functions and vector search. 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 gives people who build apps with AI the backend skills to run them for real, in live classes. Your classes take learners from an empty Supabase project to data, sign-in and storage guarded by row level security, then to semantic search over their own content, and teach them to check who can read each row.

The work

• Teach the live class “Set up a Supabase backend with Auth and row level security”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Build semantic search with pgvector and an Edge Function”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how a row level security policy decides who can read and write each row, then prove it by signing in as two different users.
• Walk learners through storing embeddings in a pgvector column, writing a SQL function that returns the closest matches, and calling it from an Edge Function.
• Help learners read Postgres errors, fix a policy that lets too much or too little through, and keep secret keys out of the browser.

What to expect

• Classes are in English, live and online, with learners joining from around the world. On the application you can also list the other languages you are able to teach in.
• The kit for each class holds a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo project with tables, policies and an Edge Function, and a backup recording of the demo.
• You teach remotely from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone and a Supabase project you can demo from in the dashboard.
• You pass the instructor test for a Supabase class before you teach it for the first time.
• 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 Supabase project from real work, such as an app's schema, its policies or an Edge Function, that you can show and explain.
• Experience teaching, mentoring developers, writing technical tutorials or running database workshops.
• Patience with learners whose app was generated by an AI tool and who are reading SQL for the first time.

You need

• Hands-on use of Supabase in your own projects: the database, Auth, Storage and Edge Functions.
• Working knowledge of SQL and Postgres, including how row level security policies behave.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• Should your employment contract require consent for outside work, obtain it before you accept a Supabase assignment.
• Teaching volume depends on how much demand there is for the classes; every invitation names the time commitment.
• There is no cost to apply, and you are not asked to buy or complete a YPAI Learn course.
