We’re looking for caring, committed Coaches to support our students through live check-ins, daily accountability, and strong parent communication. This is a great fit for people who want to make an impact, value flexibility, and enjoy working independently within a supportive team.

2. Accountability and Support

  • Attend check-ins with your Team Lead and participate in regular feedback sessions.

  • Notify Coachbit at least 2 weeks in advance of any changes to your availability or planned leave.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Stable, high-speed internet and a quiet, distraction-free coaching environment.

  • High-quality webcam (1080p minimum) and noise-cancelling microphone.

  • Able to commit to fixed time blocks for a 12-month period.

HOURS AND COMPENSATION

Coaches are paid per student per month, with rates determined by:

  • Coaching Format: Standard (weekly video check-in + accountability) or Premium (daily video check-ins)

  • Coaching Hours: Low, Medium, or High-demand slots. We mostly serve students in the United States, so our high-demand slots are late at night, South African time.

Based on the format and demand slot, you can earn between R300 to R2,000 per student per month. You will initially be able to take on up to six students. Based on your performance, you can apply to take on more students with time and increase your earnings.
