What type of experience do you have in creating online courses? (No experience necessary).(Required)

American Tutors provides online asynchronous self-paced video courses with video lectures, practice activities, quizzes, support files, and assessments. The course you would be creating would NOT be synchronous live teaching. You would upload your completed course for American Tutors to market and sell, and you would earn 40% revenue sharing on your course(s).(Required)

Ok, I understand.

I'm only interested in being a live instructor. I don't want to create any courses.

Course Subject Area(Required)

Title of your proposed course?(Required)

Enter the title you are envisioning for your course. Be sure to convey what students will learn in your title. Ex. How to Ace Your SAT

Ok, got it!

I have questions. I'll email info@americantutors.org.

Estimated number of hours your course will be. (30 min miminum, up to 120 hours maximum. If 30 min, enter 0.5). You can change this later.(Required)

Please enter a number from 0.5 to 120.

Keep in mind that you may want to start with shorter courses first, rather than submitting a long course. Consider a 30 minute to 5 hour course as your first submission. Keep in mind that if you are submitting a middle or high school semester course for homeschool students to use on their transcript, your credits course must include be at least 120 hours of student work that could be completed in 18 weeks for 1 high school credit, including video lecture watching, practice activities, quizzes, and support document review. Middle and high school Quarter courses must be at least 60 hours of student work and 9 weeks. Year-long homeschool high school courses need to be divided into an A and a B part to be sellable in semester increments.

Short one-sentence description of your course that advertises it.(Required)

Ex. "HOW TO MASTER 9TH GRADE MATH makes it easy to ace your final exam, guiding you through practice problems and testing your knowledge at every step."

List the 3 main learning goals for your course. Number them 1, 2, and 3. These 3 learning goals would be on the front page of your course so keep marketing in mind. You will have the chance to create up to 10 learning goals if approved.(Required)

Please list link(s) to your courses you have created on other sites (If applicable. Course creation experience is not necessary).

PASTE HERE YOUR SAMPLE VIDEO LINK FOR YOUR PROPOSED COURSE.(Required)

At least 1 minute of video is required. 2MB max per video. Compress video with program like Handbrake, free to download. Video format: .mp4 or .mov. Record in HD at 720p or 1080p. Audio: Must use lapel mic or separate mic. (Audio recorded directly from phone or laptop mics will not produce high enough quality for our video courses). You'll need: Screen recording software (Ex. CamStudio, Camtasia, OBS Studio) and video editing software (Ex. Blender, Lightworks, Shotcut, Openshot, iMovie (mac). You may also need slide presentation software such as PowerPoint or Google Slides. After you create your sample video, upload it to a shareable link such as your Google drive, or upload it as an unpublished YouTube video. Then paste link here. This video will not be published but is just a sample video to check your audio and video quality. Your sample video should include your face for at least part of your video. If your course is approved, you appearing in it is optional. You may do a voiceover teaching content without appearing in your actual course.

Pricing: What price did you have in mind for your course?(Required)
