FOR PROFESSORS, EDUCATORS, & INDEPENDENT SCHOLARSTeach that seminar
you’ve always wanted to.
On your terms. Your syllabus, your schedule, and your choice of texts — for small, attentive cohorts of readers who are genuinely there to think. No university bureaucracy, no committee work, and direct deposits to your bank.
The fruits of contemplation.
Your years of reading, research, and quiet reflection deserve an outlet beyond private desks and administrative burdens. A seminar gives that study renewed life: a table where foundational texts and enduring questions are explored together with eager, thoughtful minds.
“Even as it is better to enlighten than merely to shine… so is it greater to give to others the fruits of contemplation than merely to contemplate.”
Everything on your own terms.
Traditional academia often restricts teaching to departmental requirements, grading rubrics, or mass lectures. Here, you are the curator of your own intellectual salon.
The Text & Syllabus
Choose a single foundational dialogue, a classic debate, or an 8-week inquiry. You set the readings and determine the depth of preparation asked of participants.
Your Schedule & Rhythm
Pick the exact weekday, evening, or weekend hour that suits your life. Lead one 4-week seminar a year, a weekend symposium, or recurring seasonal cohorts during sabbatical.
Small, Attentive Cohorts
Strictly capped cohorts of 6 to 15 readers. No anonymous lecture halls; lively, respectful Socratic discussion where every voice is known and participants came voluntarily to read deeply.
Direct Deposits
You decide the seat price (or offer it free). Powered by Stripe Connect, your seminar earnings are deposited directly into your bank account. Transparent, dignified, and prompt.

Common questions about teaching.
Do I need a current university appointment?
No. We welcome current university professors, retired faculty, Ph.D. holders, master’s degree holders, high school and classical academy teachers, and independent scholars. Your background and credentials will be verified and displayed transparently on your public profile.
How does seminar pricing and instructor compensation work?
You have full discretion to offer your seminar for free or set a tuition price (e.g. $75 to $400+ per student for a series). Earnings are transferred directly to your bank account via Stripe Connect as readers enroll, with zero paperwork or institutional payroll delays.
Which video conferencing tool do I use?
You can use whatever video platform works best for your teaching style: Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. You simply paste your meeting link into your seminar dashboard, and it is revealed only to verified, enrolled students.
Can I offer a seminar for free?
Yes! Many scholars begin with a free 2-to-4 week pilot seminar to test a new syllabus, build a following of readers, or introduce a fascinating text to the public.
