For teachers seeking a serious place to teach

Saul currently teaches Leizu students. This page explains the arrangement for teachers who may join after an interview and seminar-method training.

i. The arrangement

The numbers, plainly

Teachers who join Leizu set their own availability and agree to rates before accepting work. Leizu handles booking, payment, scheduling, and routine administration. Online sessions use Google Meet.

80%
of session rate goes to the teacher.

The remaining twenty percent covers booking, payment infrastructure, seminar method training, platform costs, and student matching. Students pay no separate service fee. Your share stays the same when you bring your own students.

The arrangement is deliberately simple: the teacher receives eighty percent of the agreed session rate, and the remaining twenty percent supports the shared services listed above.

ii. Before a booking

Rates in writing

Before accepting a booking, a teacher sees the session rate and their eighty-percent share. Any bundle pricing, payment schedule, or tax responsibility is confirmed in writing before the work begins.

iii. What we look for

The hiring filter

Saul Nassau meets every prospective teacher before they join. Four qualities guide that conversation.

i
A subject you actually love
The subject should still matter to you. Teachers who remain curious about their material teach it with greater force.
ii
The seminar method
You host the inquiry. Students arrive having read, then work through claims, counterclaims, and implications. Teachers already working this way can join quickly. Others receive seminar method training.
iii
Care for the student in front of you
Care begins with the student in front of you. Their work, habits of mind, and way of thinking when stuck all matter. This care can be developed and has to be genuine.
iv
Respect for the student's time and yours
Arrive prepared, keep your sessions, cancel only when necessary, and reply to questions within twenty four hours during term.

Applications are especially welcome from teachers of OSSD and IB mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, French, additional languages, and computer science. Teachers in other subjects may also write with their area and approach.

iv. What you will not be asked to do

What the work protects

The intended arrangement does not use volume quotas or competitive rate bidding.

Leizu carries the shared booking and student-matching work.

The seminar method gives a structure for inquiry while leaving room for your judgment.

Teachers decide how many students they can serve well and may decline a match.

v. How to apply

Write to Saul

Send an email with who you are, what you teach, where you have taught, and one paragraph on your method. Attach or link a CV, portfolio, or writing on teaching when you have one. Specific detail helps.

I read every email and reply within a few days. Strong applications lead to a 30 minute call, which serves as the interview.

How sessions fit together

Each Leizu session has 40 to 45 minutes of focused work, a 5 to 10 minute break, then another 40 to 45 minutes of work. Plan a 10 minute buffer between consecutive students. It gives you time to finish notes, rest, and arrive present for the next student. Cal.com applies the buffer once it is set on each event type and keeps back to back bookings outside that window.

The buffer is required. Students feel the difference when a teacher carries exhaustion from one session into the next. Accept bookings with that standard in mind.
