To teach on explainx.ai, apply to join the instructor team, use your linked account to propose a workshop run, and prepare its classroom after approval. Use this guide as your route through the teaching process.

## Go from application to an approved run

1. [Apply to teach and set up your instructor account](/help/articles/apply-and-set-up-instructor-account). Share your subject, intended audience, and relevant work through [Teach on explainx](https://explainx.ai/teach).
2. Once the team adds your instructor profile, sign in with the same email and [open your instructor dashboard](/help/articles/open-instructor-dashboard).
3. [Create your first run, step by step](/help/articles/plan-and-submit-first-run). Choose a published workshop, propose dates and seats, and explain your teaching plan.
4. [Follow the proposal review](/help/articles/review-run-proposal). The team can request changes, approve, or decline; it sets pricing on approval. Approval creates the run and assigns you as its instructor.

An application does not create an instructor account automatically, and a submitted proposal is not a published run. Revenue share is agreed per partnership before you launch.

## Prepare the classroom in the week before teaching

1. [Set up your classroom before day 1](/help/articles/prepare-approved-run-classroom). Open it from the approved run, organize channels, and decide who will help moderate.
2. [Check each session](/help/articles/manage-run-sessions), including dates, IST start times, duration, and Zoom details. Coordinate host access with the team.
3. Test your exercise and required tool access. Post a welcome message and pin the classroom instructions.
4. Confirm any linked community gives learners a useful next step after the workshop.

## Run the live lesson and close the session

1. On teaching day, [host a live session alongside your classroom](/help/articles/host-live-session-with-classroom). Start the meeting through your agreed Zoom setup and keep classroom chat open.
2. Share reusable prompts, answer doubts in threads, and check held contributions with your moderator.
3. End with a short recap and one practice task. Check recording availability before announcing it.

## Continue supporting the cohort after class

1. [Help students keep learning after class](/help/articles/keep-students-learning-after-class): check recordings, point students to their certificate steps, and reopen past classrooms.
2. If appropriate, add the cohort to a community you own or teach in, save learning tags, and choose whether to email students.
3. Review unanswered doubts and your teaching notes before proposing another run.

## Use the copy guides at each teaching stage

Start with [copywriting good practices for instructors](/help/articles/instructor-copywriting-good-practices), then adapt these templates:

- [Run names, daily titles, and proposal notes](/help/articles/run-title-and-proposal-note-templates).
- [Classroom welcomes, rules, reminders, and wrap-ups](/help/articles/classroom-teaching-message-templates).
- [Community names, descriptions, and move-email notes](/help/articles/community-and-move-email-templates).

For the public offer, use [Build a workshop page learners can evaluate](/help/articles/write-a-workshop-page) and the [workshop copy checklist](/help/articles/workshop-copy-checklist).
