Founding cohort application

Tell us a bit about you

This is for people already teaching something — tutors, TAs, club leads, camp counsellors, coaches. About 4 minutes. A few of these need real sentences — skim answers get screened out. We are reading how you explain things, not your résumé. Back to the details.

Your name

Phone (optional)

City or town

What best describes you right now?

Teaching experience

How comfortable are you with AI tools?

There is no wrong answer to either of these. “None” and “new to it” are both fine — the beginner levels are where most instructors start.

What are you teaching or coaching right now, and to whom?

One line is fine. “Nothing right now” is an honest answer too.

What's the last thing you actually made with an AI tool? (optional)

“Nothing yet” is a perfectly fine answer.

Explain something you know well to a twelve-year-old.

Anything at all — a hobby, a part of your job, how something works. A few sentences. We are reading for whether it would land with a kid.

A student is stuck and frustrated. What is the first thing you do?

A few sentences. Say what you would actually do, not what sounds right.

You're teaching about 15 kids. Three finish in ten minutes; two are stuck and frustrated. What does the room look like for the next twenty minutes?

A few sentences. There is no trick — we want to see you run the room.

A term is 12 classes at the same time each week. Could you hold one weekly slot for a whole term? If something would make that hard, say what.

An honest “that would be hard because…” is worth more to us than a quick yes.

When could you teach? (optional, pick any)

I understand that a vulnerable-sector background check is required before teaching, at every tier. We teach children and this is not negotiable.I understand certification is normally $295 once, plus $99 a year to renew — and that as a founding-cohort applicant I don't pay until I've earned my first dollar teaching with PrompToGo. If I certify and never teach, I never owe it. Applying commits me to nothing.

We use this only to consider your application and get back to you.
