Job description

Teach live online classes on coding with GitHub Copilot, in the editor and on pull requests. You teach in English from a ready class kit, remotely, and you are paid for each class you teach.

What the work is for

YPAI Learn teaches people to build with AI tools in live classes. Your classes take developers from their first GitHub Copilot suggestion in the editor to an issue the coding agent turns into a pull request, and teach them to review and test the code before they merge it.

The work

• Teach the live class "Build a feature in your editor with GitHub Copilot", 90 minutes, from the class kit.


• Teach the live class "Assign an issue to GitHub Copilot and review its pull request", 90 minutes, from the class kit.


• Show live how custom instructions, the open files and a clear prompt change what Copilot suggests, and how to check a suggestion before accepting it.


• Walk learners through a pull request Copilot opened: read the diff, run the tests and ask for changes in review comments.


• Answer questions and help learners whose repository, editor or tests get stuck during the class.

What to expect

• Classes are taught in English, live and online, for learners around the world. The application also asks which other languages you can teach in.


• The kit for each class holds a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo and a backup recording of the demo.


• You teach remotely, from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera and a microphone.


• Before your first class, you pass the instructor test for that class.


• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.


• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.

What you bring

• A repository or pull request where you used GitHub Copilot in real work, that you can show and explain.


• Experience teaching, mentoring developers, running workshops or leading code reviews.


• Patience with learners who are opening their first pull request.

You need

• Hands-on use of GitHub Copilot in your own coding work, in the editor and on pull requests.


• Working knowledge of Git and GitHub: branches, pull requests, reviews and checks.


• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.


• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If your employment contract requires approval for outside work, arrange it before you accept an assignment.


• How much teaching you get depends on class demand. Each invitation states the expected time commitment.


• Applying costs nothing, and you do not need to buy or take a YPAI Learn course.
