Teacher guide

Teaching at a Yuimaru festival

You've been asked to teach — welcome. Yuimaru gives you a small, tidy corner of the system: your own workshops, how you're introduced, and when you can teach. The organiser looks after everything else — times, rooms, prices, sign-ups. This guide covers just your part, and it's short on purpose.

The whole thing, in one line

Accept your invite → sign in → tidy up your profile → write your workshop title and description → mark any times you can't teach. That's it. Everything after that is the organiser's job.

Two places, one account

You'll use Yuimaru in two places, and the same sign-in works for both:

The main app — where everyone finds festivals. This is where your profile lives, and where you save workshops and see your own tickets, just like any other participant.
The Back Office — the organiser's console. You see a few screens of it, and only for the festivals you teach at: Your workshops, Teacher profile, Availability, and a read-only view of the Programme. Nothing else is open to you, and nothing else is your responsibility.

Your screens for one festival — on its row under Your workshops, and in the top bar once you open one Programme Teacher profile Availability Your workshops

Why this guide looks different

The warm amber buttons here match the Back Office, the console you'll edit your workshops in — the same look as the organiser guide. The main app, where your profile lives, is pink; that one has its own attendee guide.

The chapters

Your invite & signing in

The email, the join page, and getting an account.

Going to the festival

Saving sessions, your schedule, and your ticket.

What the organiser does, not you

It saves a lot of head-scratching to know this up front. These are all set by the organiser, and you can't change them yourself — if one is wrong, just tell them:

When and where your workshop happens — the day, the time, the room. You can tell them when you can't teach, which they'll work around, but the placing is theirs.
How many people can join, and what it costs.
Category, theme and level labels on your session.
Who's teaching what — including adding a co-teacher.
Sign-ups, payments and tickets for everyone attending.
Publishing the programme, which is when your workshop becomes visible to the public.
