AI Instructor - NotebookLM

Teach live online classes on NotebookLM, the research notebook that answers from the sources a learner adds: their PDFs, notes, web pages and videos. You teach in English with a complete class kit, from your own desk, and you are paid for each class you teach.

What the work is for

YPAI Learn runs live classes on researching with AI for people who work with many documents. Your classes take learners from a folder of unread documents to a notebook that answers with citations to their own sources, and to a briefing and an Audio Overview they can share, and teach them to check each cited passage and spot what the sources leave out.

The work

• Teach the live class “Build a NotebookLM notebook from your own documents and question it”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Turn a stack of sources into a briefing and an Audio Overview with NotebookLM”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how to choose and add sources, ask questions across all of them, and click each citation to see the passage the answer rests on.
• Walk learners through making a briefing document, a mind map and an Audio Overview from the same sources, then comparing each with the originals.
• Help learners whose upload fails, whose notebook mixes unrelated sources or whose answer goes past what the sources say.

What to expect

• You teach in English, in live online classes open to learners worldwide. The application also asks about any other languages you can teach in.
• A kit comes with every class: a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo notebook built from sample sources and a backup recording of the demo.
• Teaching is remote, from your own computer, with a stable connection, camera, microphone and a NotebookLM account you can demo from.
• Each class has its own instructor test; you pass it before your first class of that kind.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.

What you bring

• A notebook you built in NotebookLM for real work or study, that you can show with sample or public sources.
• Experience in teaching, tutoring, library or research support, or training colleagues to handle documents.
• Patience with learners who are swamped by reading and unsure where to start.

You need

• Hands-on use of NotebookLM in your own work: sources, cited answers, notes and Audio Overviews.
• Experience working from many documents at once, such as reports, policies, papers or interview notes.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• Arrange any approval for outside work your employment contract requires before you take an assignment.
• Class demand determines how much you teach, and each invitation sets out the time the assignment takes.
• Applying is free, and no YPAI Learn course has to be bought or taken first.
