Teach on Elevate
Set your own price. See exactly what you keep.
You set the price, the length and the cohort size, and you run a live session each week. We handle everything around it — and show you exactly what you keep before you publish anything.

Your rate is fixed for this cohort at the moment a learner pays. Changing our fee schedule later never changes what you are owed for seats already sold.
How the money moves
- 01
Learner pays Elevate
The seat is paid to us, not to you. Nothing is released until the cohort starts.
- 02
Half released at cohort start
The first half of your net lands in your M-Pesa when the cohort opens.
- 03
Half on completion
The rest releases when the cohort ends, after the dispute window.
What we handle
- Enrolment and payment
- M-Pesa and card, receipts, instalment chasing if you allow it.
- The platform
- Lessons, video hosting, discussion, attendance, certificates.
- Reminders
- Your learners are told when a module opens and when a session starts.
- Payouts
- Released to your M-Pesa number as the programme runs.
What we ask
- Verification before you teach
- A national ID, confirmation of your current role, and a short recorded interview.
- An outline we have read
- Someone at Elevate reads your curriculum before it is published.
- One live session a week
- At a time and length you set, reviewing work your learners sent beforehand.
- A price of at least KES 15,000
- Below that a cohort cannot pay for the attention it needs.
