What you'd do

Teach live, from the work you did this week.

An hour at a time, on TEEI's own platform, to people retraining toward your field. No lesson plans, no grading: the format carries the structure.

What you know

The SQL you wrote this morning
Week one of her analytics career.
Your code-review comments
The feedback no online course gives.
The interview you ran last month
The rehearsal she has never had.
The way you run a project meeting
The working culture nobody writes down.

Someone needs exactly what you know.

No lesson plans · Your field, spoken out loud

The shelf

Or teach a course that’s already built.

Most volunteers teach their own subject, and that needs nothing but the application. Beside it stands a shelf of sixty-two courses with the curriculum, exercises, labs and assessments done. You pick the one that matches your work and add the only thing a shelf cannot hold: someone who does this for a living, live in the room.

Then teach that. Your subject needs no shelf, only an hour.

The shapes

Four shapes of the same hour.

Every live format on Skills Volunteering is one professional and the people learning her field. You choose the shape; the shape carries the structure.

01A webinarOne session · Live questions

One expert, one hour, live questions from people training toward your field. The smallest real commitment on this page.

02A classSame small group · Weekly

A small group, live on video, building your subject across a season. You watch the same people get visibly better.

03A one-off sessionSmall group or one person · Booked once

One knowledge session, once: a small group on a topic from your field, or one learner and the thing she cannot practise alone, her CV in your industry, the interview for the job she wants.

04MentorshipSame person · Months

The same professional, across months of her rebuild: the long version of handing a career over the fence. Big enough to be its own programme: TEEI Mentorship.

You pick the shape when you apply, and change it any time. There is no fixed number of hours here: the shape you choose is the commitment you make.

Apply to teach an hour

Rather write than appear? Course material has a seat too: curriculum creators build what the hours teach.

The other side of the hour

“This is my place of power.”

A Skills Academy learner, about her desk. Ukraine · Quoted with consent · Press play to hear her

She studies through the power cuts. Displaced professionals, most of them women, retraining into data, code, design, and business: your field, from zero footing in a new country. What is missing is you.

“The DataCamp licence led to a data analyst certification, and the certification led to two interviews.”

Artem K. · Skills Academy learner · Ukraine

The room

You teach the hour. We build the rest.

Skills Volunteering runs on the platform TEEI built for its language and mentoring programmes. You bring the field; everything around the hour is handled.

The matchWe fill your room. Learners find your session by field and level; you never recruit an audience.
The bookingScheduling is ours. You give windows; the calendar, reminders, and time zones are handled.
The live roomTEEI's own video room, in the browser. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.
The certificateCompletion counts. Learners leave your sessions with a certificate the market can check.
The first hourYou are not alone in it. A coordinator sets up your first session with you and stays reachable.

How it starts

Four steps, one of them ours.

01

Apply

About five minutes: import your profile from LinkedIn or type it in. Your field, your experience, the shapes that fit.

02

A person reads it

Not a filter. A real review, with an answer inside three to five working days.

03

Pick your shape

Webinar, class, session, or mentorship, and your first date. Change the shape whenever your life changes.

04

The room opens

Your field, live, to the people who need exactly it. A coordinator is in the wings for your first hour.

Before you ask

Questions professionals ask.

Do I need teaching experience?

No. You need a field and the willingness to speak it out loud. The formats carry the structure: a webinar has a host, a class has a rhythm, a session has one clear question. Nobody hands you a blank classroom.

What could I teach?

Web development, data science, cybersecurity, UX, marketing, product management, HR, cloud, AI and machine learning, career development, or the thing only you would think to offer. The application has a field for exactly that.

What platform does it run on?

TEEI's own. The same video rooms that carry our language and mentoring programmes carry Skills Volunteering sessions. For you it is a browser link; there is nothing to install and no account to buy.

Can my company send a team?

Yes. Companies place their specialists as teachers through skill volunteering: one page for that is here.

What if I can only do it once?

Then teach one webinar. One hour, once, is a real contribution here, and nobody will chase you for a second one. Most volunteers decide the shape of their next hour after they have given the first.

Out of reasons?

Teach the hour only you can.

One hour of the job you already do, in the shape that fits your week.

Prefer one-to-one conversation? TEEI Language needs speakers
