Overview
A one-person academy should look professional too
An independent instructor has to find time for creating content, planning lesson times, selling and answering learner questions all at once. On marketplaces, pricing and the relationship with learners are not in your hands, and a lesson schedule and payment tracking run through messaging apps take time as well. With UZEM you set up your own storefront, put your live sessions on the calendar, decide your own prices and campaigns, and stay in direct contact with your learners.
- A storefront under your own brand Publish a course site of your own with your logo, colors and introductory copy.
- Pricing is your decision Set the course price, the discounted price and coupon campaigns yourself.
- Preview lessons Open the first lessons of a course to everyone and show your teaching style before people buy.
- Knowledge test and certificate Learners who pass the end-of-course test automatically receive a certificate that can be verified with a QR code.
- Live sessions on the calendar Plan one-to-one or group live sessions with your own Zoom account; the session time appears on the learner's calendar, and if Zoom cloud recording is on, the recording is added to the lesson.
- Learner questions in one place Answer questions from lesson pages in the dashboard, instead of replying to the same question again and again.
- Community area Open discussion topics for your course learners so they can help each other.
