Getting Started: How Yuno Works
What is Yuno Learning?
Yuno Learning is a platform that helps connect instructors and learners throughout the globe. We provide learners the luxury to learn from home and instructors the flexibility to work from home.
We also make sure that instructors are provided with all the necessary resources such as lesson slides, practice questions and other teaching material so that their entire focus is on doing what they love, which is teaching.
What do you need to teach at Yuno?
A quiet room: Deliver your classes in a quiet room. Set your routine to make sure that there are no interruptions and background noise.
A fast computer: Use a fast and reliable laptop or desktop. You should have both a good quality camera and a microphone. Delivering classes from mobile or tablet is strictly prohibited.
Fixed-line WIFI connection: Ensure that you deliver the classes through a fixed-line broadband connection, available to you through a wire or Wifi for uninterrupted teaching experience. Delivering classes through your phone’s hotspot is allowed ONLY in rare cases such as when you’ve run out of backup power (see below) or if the internet lines are down due to inclement weather. You need to inform Yuno staff in advance.
Inverter or power backup device: A power backup for your device and Wifi that allows for uninterrupted access is required. Your power backup is useful ONLY if it allows you to deliver classes without ANY interruption. For e.g. in the event of power failure, if your PC or WiFi shuts down even for a few seconds, it cannot be considered as an uninterrupted source of power backup. There are many inexpensive products available in the market that provide uninterrupted power, if you need to make a purchase. You can contact Yuno staff for details.
Here are some of the products on Amazon that you can look at for Wi-Fi power backup:
4G hotspot: Ensure a 4G hotspot to compensate for WiFi failure or network issues. As mentioned earlier, teaching classes through mobile hotspot will ONLY be allowed in rare cases.
Video ON for classes: It’s mandatory to always have video ON for your classes.
Proper lighting: A good lighting is also essential to make your classes more interactive and to give it a professional appearance.
