Teacher Earnings and Payments Policy
Understanding your compensation on ShoilySchool
At ShoilySchool, we believe educators should have a clear, fair, and transparent understanding of how they earn and receive payments for teaching on our platform.
This “Teacher Earnings and Payments Policy” explains how educators in Canada are compensated, how payouts work, and the responsibilities of teachers on ShoilySchool.
1. Teacher Earnings Model
ShoilySchool allows educators to set their own pricing for classes, including:
- Class price (per student)
- Minimum and maximum class size
- Course structure (one-time, weekly, or self-paced)
Revenue Split
For each paid enrollment:
- Educator receives: 70% of the class price
- ShoilySchool platform fee: 30% of the class price
This platform fee supports:
- Platform maintenance and development
- Payment processing systems
- Marketing and student acquisition
- Customer support and safety infrastructure
2. Payout System (Canada)
ShoilySchool processes educator payouts through secure third-party payment providers.
Payment Method
- Payments are made via PayPal (USD or CAD depending on availability)
- Educators must have a valid PayPal account linked to their ShoilySchool profile
Currency Conversion
If funds are converted by PayPal or your bank, additional conversion fees may apply. ShoilySchool is not responsible for external currency conversion charges.
3. Payment Schedule
A. One-Time Classes
- Payments are released 7–8 days after the class start date
- Based on total enrollments in the section
B. Weekly Classes
- Payments are processed weekly on Sundays
- Payments are issued 7–13 days after weekly sessions occur
Sunday Timing Rule
- Classes starting before 4:00 PM (Pacific Time) are included in the same payout cycle
- Classes starting after 4:00 PM may roll into the next cycle
C. Self-Paced Classes
Payments depend on enrollment timing:
- Full-payment enrollments: Paid 7–8 days after purchase
- Weekly enrollments: Paid on the Sunday following the enrollment week
D. Group / Membership Classes
- Payments are processed monthly
- Payouts are issued on the 15th of the following month
Example:
- March earnings → Paid on April 15
4. Batched Payments
If an educator has multiple active classes or sections:
- All payments may be combined into one daily payout
- Each section will appear separately in the PayPal transaction details
Payment details may include:

- Earnings per section
