Becoming a verified instructor
What we look for in applications, how long review takes, and the flat 2.5% rate.
Verified instructors show up in search with a badge, can take private lesson bookings through Bailar, and pay a flat 2.5% platform fee — you keep 97.5% of your listed price.
Flat 2.5% — the lowest take rate in the category
Bailar takes a flat 2.5% of every lesson, deducted from your listed price. Students cover card processing separately at checkout, so nothing else comes out of your earnings. No tiers, no volume thresholds.
How that compares to the alternatives:
| Platform | Commission |
|---|---|
| Bailar | 2.5% |
| Superprof | 15–30% |
| Wyzant | 25% |
| Outschool | 30% |
Who qualifies
We look for three things:
- Teaching experience. A few years of consistent teaching — socials, group classes, privates, congresses — any combination works.
- Community presence. An existing student base, an active teaching profile, or a studio affiliation. We're not gatekeeping — we're verifying you're a real person students trust.
- A clean background. Standard screening for anyone handling private sessions with new students.
How to apply
Applications live in the Bailar Business app — a separate, free app on the App Store and Google Play (the consumer Bailar app doesn't take applications). In Bailar Business, go to Profile → Become an Instructor. You'll fill in:
- A headline and teaching bio, plus the styles you teach and your years of experience
- A short teaching video, 30–120 seconds (required — it's how we verify you actually teach)
- Optional extras that speed up review: certification photos or PDFs, your studio, your Instagram
You can also apply on the web at bailar.site/for-instructors/apply.
Review time
Most applications get a decision within 2–3 business days — many are approved much faster. If we need more info we'll email; don't take silence for rejection.
