We have several classes scheduled, and would love to offer a wide array of classes as we expand our teachers and membership. We don't require any teaching experience, just that you're comfortable with the subject matter. We have a variety of curriculum that have been developed by other GDI chapters here. Teachers are free to use them in their entirety, adapt, etc - we just like to give our teachers something to work from! We also welcome any other class ideas!
Our teachers receive a percentage of the proceeds from each class (We charge about $10 an hour per student each class).
If you have an idea of something you'd like to teach, or any questions, please let us know! Here's a short document on what to expect as a GDI Teacher and the GDI Code of Conduct.
Here are the classes we currently have scheduled for which we do not yet have a teacher set in stone - classes are weekday evenings or weekend mornings:

If you're not sure about teaching, we also need several TAs for each class we offer, which can be a good ramp-up into teaching!
