Aiyori now works for classes for adults, too.

Since October 17, you can choose “Classroom for adults” when you create your classroom. There are now three kinds: for children, for adults, and workplace training.

A classroom for adults has no guardian features, and learners pay their own tuition. Learners see plain wording, without the phrasing made for children.

What you can do

• Hand out lesson videos, including YouTube videos. Videos you upload can have rules that stop skipping ahead or speeding up.
• Questions (graded automatically), word cards, speaking recordings, writing on handouts, and handing in photos.
• Mark submissions with a red pen, or respond by voice or video. You can message each learner one-to-one.
• Keep materials in the library and hand them out as often as you like, including to new learners. You can also build courses that hand out one item at a time on set days of the week.

Tuition

• Set the amount and payment method for each learner, and a bill is created automatically every month and emailed to the learner.
• Connect your own Stripe account to receive tuition by card. Tuition goes straight to your bank account, and Aiyori takes no commission on it.
• When you receive a bank transfer or cash, press “Mark as paid”. The learner gets a confirmation email.

Who it is for

For people aged 16 and over. We do not ask for a birth month or for guardian consent. If children and adults attend together, choose “Classroom for children”. Learners whose birth month shows they are 18 or over see the plain wording.

Our name comes from “Blue comes from the indigo plant, yet is bluer than indigo.” — Xunzi, “An Exhortation to Learning”.

Teachers and active learners count at ¥400 per person per month in Japan, or US$2.99 outside Japan (tax included), and you can start free for 30 days after creating your classroom.

Update: since October 27, you can set viewing rules for YouTube videos too.
