Applicants who progress may be invited to a language-specific five-question grammar assessment, reference checks, and a teaching conversation.

Rates & availability

Let’s talk about the fit.

Tell us your proposed hourly rate and how many hours you could teach through Zabaan each month. Pay depends on teaching hours. We review your rate first and may email a counteroffer if it fits our range. Applying does not guarantee work.

Your proposed rate helps us understand expectations; submitting it does not commit either side to a rate or teaching schedule.

Your public profile

A profile that sounds like you.

Submit a short professional bio and a clear, square headshot. If we decide to work together, we’ll edit the bio for consistency with the Zabaan site and agree the final version with you before publication. Portraits are cropped to a square on our teacher page.
