What Teaching Gives You Back

Sharpen your leadership

Guiding learners toward solving a real problem is the same muscle you use leading a design team.

Strengthen your own fundamentals

Explaining a concept clearly to someone new to it is one of the fastest ways to find the gaps in your own thinking.

Join a working design community

Sessions, structured feedback loops, and support from other practicing educators, not only learners.

Shape how new designers work

Teach the workflows, ethics, and judgment calls that never show up in a portfolio.

The Actual Job

  • • Lead live sessions for an assigned batch
  • • Answer learner questions and unblock them, during and between sessions
  • • Review submitted assignments with specific, actionable feedback
  • • Stay engaged for the full length of the batch you're assigned to
  • • Model professional design practice: process and communication, not just output

Who Should Apply

  • • 2+ years of professional design experience
  • • A portfolio that shows range, not just polish on one type of project
  • • Comfortable explaining your thinking out loud, live, to a room of learners
  • • Bonus: prior experience speaking at conferences, running workshops, or informal teaching
