3. What Does a Trial Class Manager (TCM) Do? 🎧

A Trial Class Manager (TCM) is responsible for delivering the very first online trial lesson and guiding families through their initial decision about learning with Kodland.

During each trial session, you will:

• Meet the child and at least one parent via Zoom.

• Build rapport and ask targeted questions to understand the child’s background, interests, goals, and prior experience.

• Lead a short hands-on activity (simple coding, game logic, or digital task) using our prepared materials.

• Recommend the most suitable program and learning format, based on the child’s needs and engagement during the trial.

• Answer questions, handle basic objections, and guide the family toward a clear “yes/no” decision regarding enrollment.

This role is a combination of:

• 🎓 Education — explaining concepts clearly and keeping the child engaged

• 🗣 Communication — listening carefully, asking the right questions, and adapting your approach to each family

• 💼 Sales — demonstrating value, discussing pricing transparently, and confidently closing when there is a fit

⚠️ Important to note:

This is not a pure teaching role and not a scripted call-center position. You will be provided with structure, materials, and guidance — but you are expected to think independently, adapt to each family, and actively lead the conversation.

4. Schedule & Availability 🕒

When do TCMs usually work?

• Weekdays: primarily between 14:00–21:00 СDT time

• Weekends: primarily between 11:00–18:00 CDT time

The standard setup includes 5 working days per week, with

• 1 weekday off, and

• 1 day off on Saturday or Sunday.

Exact hours are negotiable, but consistent weekly availability is required so we can plan schedules in advance and reliably allocate trial classes.

Typical workload progression

The usual setup looks like this:

• After passing probation period:

  You start with 15 trial class hours per week, plus around 3 administrative hours

  (1:1s, team meetings, internal webinars)

• As you gain experience:

  Your schedule typically increases to 20 trial class hours per week, plus administrative hours

• Top-performing TCMs:

  Have the opportunity to increase up to 25 trial class hours per week

📌 Note: Administrative hours are paid at the same rate as completed trial classes.

Availability & professionalism

You set your availability together with your Team Leader in advance, and we expect you to honour the time slots you open, so families are not left waiting.

That said, we understand that unexpected situations and force majeure can happen. We approach scheduling humanely and reasonably — the key expectation is professional communication in advance whenever changes are needed so that everything can be handled smoothly.
