Role Overview

As a freelance art educator, you’ll design and deliver short, engaging classes for young learners. You'll have full creative freedom to choose the content, style, and age range that suits you best. This role is perfect for creatives who want flexible, meaningful work.

You retain full copyright ownership of your video content. By uploading to Joystick Learning, you grant us a non-exclusive license to host and sell your pre-recorded classes on our platform. However, while your content is live on Joystick Learning, you agree not to distribute or sell the same videos on any other platform. Videos are protected with watermarks and platform restrictions to discourage unauthorized use. You may request content removal at any time, after which your exclusivity obligation ends.

Responsibilities:

• Develop original and child-friendly lesson plans in your art specialty
• Record and submit high-quality pre-recorded video classes (30 - 45 minutes)
• Optionally conduct live classes (feature launching soon)
• Provide simple downloadable materials, if needed
• Inspire creativity and confidence in young learners

Who We're Looking For:

• Artists, designers, or creatives with a passion for education
• Prior experience working with or teaching children
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Organized, proactive, and able to work independently
• Open to educators globally – UK-based freelancers must provide a DBS; non-UK educators must show an equivalent background check

Why Join Joystick Learning?

• 100% flexible hours and remote teaching
• Set your own rates, teaching style, and topics
• Transparent revenue-sharing model:

           60/40 for pre-recorded classes (instructor/platform)

          80/20 for live classes (when launched)

• We handle tech, marketing, payments, and platform support
• Be part of a diverse and growing educator community
