Answers to some commonly asked questions from Togetherhood Enrichment Providers.
Do I work for Togetherhood?
As a Togetherhood Provider, you are an Independent Contractor and do not work for Togetherhood. The Togetherhood platform and network enable you to connect with new teaching opportunities and provide you with the support you need to successfully teach these courses.
How is Togetherhood different than other companies that provide afterschool programming?
Togetherhood enables the best independent Enrichment Providers to teach distinct and outstanding classes. Providers have full autonomy to design the courses and lesson plans and full ownership over the classroom experience. Our business model is based on a revenue share, so Providers can earn more as class popularity and/or enrollment grow.
At what time should I arrive to teach my class?
You should arrive to teach your class by the ‘Arrive By’ time (15 minutes before class start time) to check-in, set-up, and give yourself a buffer against any unexpected delays. Punctuality is incredibly important to our Partners and we have seen Partners terminate a relationship with a Provider for repeat tardiness.
What do I do if I am running late to my class?
If you are running late, it's critical that you let us know as early as possible by emailing info@togetherhood.us or texting (347) 835-5830 so that we can communicate this to the school in advance. It is NOT appropriate to let us know that you are running late after the scheduled start time of the class.
What do I do if I need a sub?
If you need a substitute for a class, proactive communication is key! Early communication helps us find the best substitute for your class, ensuring a smooth experience for students and Partners and increasing the likelihood that the Partner will want to bring your class back in the future.
All substitute requests must be submitted through our online Substitute Request Form, located on your Provider Dashboard.
Please see our Substitute Policy for more details.
When do I need a teaching assistant? Why?
Classroom Assistants help create a supportive and effective learning environment and are provided by Togetherhood based on Partner preferences and class enrollment.
Please see our Classroom Assistant policy for more details.
How do I submit materials expenses for reimbursement?
