Learner Guide: Dashboard, Quizzes & Community

Your complete guide to tracking progress, taking quizzes, booking sessions, and making the most of your Korean learning journey on uBitto.

Welcome to uBitto

Hi, and welcome — I'm really glad you're here. uBitto is your all-in-one home for learning Korean: live lessons with real educators, self-paced programs you follow on your own schedule, practice quizzes that adapt to you, and a warm community learning alongside you. I built uBitto because learning a language shouldn't feel lonely or confusing — everything you need should live in one place, and every small effort you make should visibly move you forward.

This first page is your map. Skim it once to see the whole picture, then dip into any section from the menu on the left whenever you need it. You don't have to learn every feature on day one — start with the basics and grow from there.

What you can do here

Here's everything uBitto gives you as a learner. Tap any card to jump straight to that guide.

Getting started in 4 steps

If you only do four things this week, do these — they set up everything else.

1. Open your dashboard. The Learner Dashboard is your home base — progress, sessions, quizzes, and rewards all in one place. Get comfortable here first.
2. Find your programs. The courses you've joined appear under My Programs. Tap Continue to jump to your next lesson.
3. Book your first session. Use Schedule & Booking to reserve a class with your educator. If you're not sure who to learn with yet, start with a trial lesson.
4. Practice daily. Take a quiz or post in a forum each day to build points, a streak, and cookies. Ten minutes a day beats three hours once a week.

Your Learner Dashboard

Think of your dashboard as the cockpit for your learning. In one glance you can see how far you've come, what's coming up, and what to do next. When you're not sure where to go, come back here.

Getting to your dashboard

Tap Dashboard in the bottom navigation bar, or open the main menu and choose Learner Dashboard. It's the same place either way.

Skill Radar chart

The radar chart is a visual snapshot of your ability across all 7 language skills (we call them LEVS GRW — more on that below). Each spoke is one skill; the further the line reaches, the stronger you are in it.

• See at a glance which skills are strong and which need love.
• Watch the shape grow as you take more quizzes and earn points.
• Aim for a round, balanced shape — a spiky chart means one skill is racing ahead while others lag.

The rest of your dashboard

Leaderboard

The leaderboard shows how you rank among fellow learners — by points earned, quizzes completed, and streaks kept. It's there for a little friendly motivation, not pressure.

• Compare your progress with others in your community.
• Separate boards exist for different skills and time periods, so a strong week can still put you near the top.
• The way up is simple: stay consistent and keep earning points.

LEVS GRW Adventure

The LEVS GRW Adventure turns skill-building into a game. It's an interactive map where each of the 7 skills — Listening, Expression, Vocabulary, Speaking, Grammar, Reading, Writing — has its own path. Complete quizzes to move along the map, unlock new stages, and pick up bonus cookies and badges as you go.

My Programs

My Programs lists every course you're enrolled in, each with its own progress bar — so you never have to wonder "where was I?" This is where your actual learning lives.

What you'll see for each program

• The program name, your educator, and a completion percentage.
• A Continue link that jumps straight to your next unfinished lesson.
• A link into the program's community group, where lessons and discussion happen.
• A Write a review option once you've made some progress (your educator will love you for it — see Support Your Teacher).

How to use it

1. Open My Programs from the dashboard menu.
2. Tap Continue on any program to resume the next incomplete lesson.
3. Use the group link to ask questions or share your progress with classmates.

My Learning Corrections

This is one of my favourite features, because it turns your mistakes into a study plan. Every error you make in quizzes and AI Writing Reviews is quietly collected and analysed here, so instead of forgetting a mistake the moment you make it, you can see your real weak spots in one place.

What it shows you

• All your past mistakes, grouped by type — grammar, spelling, vocabulary, particles.
• Patterns: the kinds of errors you make most often (this is gold).
• Your improvement over time, as the same mistakes stop repeating.

How to use it well

1. Open Corrections from the dashboard menu.
2. Look at your most frequent error type first — fixing that gives you the biggest jump.
3. Take a targeted quiz or writing review in that exact area, then come back and check the error stops appearing.

Study Streak

Your streak counts how many days in a row you've been active on uBitto. It's the simplest, most honest measure of a learning habit — and honestly, the habit is what makes fluency happen.

How to keep it alive

• Do at least one activity a day — a quiz, a forum post, or a lesson. That's all it takes.
• The counter shows your current run of consecutive active days.
• Longer streaks earn bonus rewards, so the habit literally pays you back.

Achievements

Achievements celebrate the milestones along your journey. They're tracked on your dashboard and shown on your profile — little trophies that mark how far you've come.

Points & Levels

Every quiz you take and every writing review you get earns you skill points. Points are how uBitto measures your growth — not with a vague grade, but across the specific abilities that make up real Korean.

The 7 Skills (LEVS GRW)

We break Korean into seven skills so you can see exactly where you're strong and where to focus. Together they spell LEVS GRW:

• Listening — from dictation and dialogue quizzes.
• Expression — from story cube and speaking quizzes.
• Vocabulary — from multiple choice and image-word quizzes.
• Speaking — from speaking-script and scene-dubbing quizzes.
• Grammar — from grammar-context and build-sentence quizzes.
• Reading — from comprehension-based quizzes.
• Writing — from AI writing reviews.

How points work

• Higher quiz scores earn more points.
• Beating your previous best score earns bonus points — so retaking a quiz is never wasted.
• Your educator can also award points manually for participation and effort.
• All your points feed into your overall level on the 6S ladder.

The 6S proficiency ladder

As you earn LEVSGRW points, you climb through 6 stages — we call them the "6S". Each is aligned to TOPIK (the official Korean proficiency test) and made up of several sub-levels, so there's always a next small step in reach:

• 🌱 Seed — Conversational · TOPIK I. Starting out: read Hangul, learn basic words and short sentences. (from 0 pts)
• 🌿 Sprout — Conversational · TOPIK I. Basic everyday conversation; role-play with phrases and write short sentences. (from 250 pts)
• 💪 Survival — Survival · TOPIK I–II. Handle day-to-day conversation, tell short stories, write logical sentences. (from 700 pts)
• 🎯 Solid — Academic · TOPIK II. Agree, compare and recommend; read ~100-word texts; write with more complex grammar. (from 1,900 pts)
• ⭐ Significant — Professional · TOPIK II. Debate with persuasion; read ~150-word texts; write complex sentences. (from 4,200 pts)
• 👑 Significant+ — Professional · TOPIK II (Level 6). Near-native, excellent-speaker proficiency — continuous mastery. (from 7,000 pts)

Understanding Cookies

Cookies are uBitto's little reward currency. You earn them by showing up and participating, and you spend them on tools that help you learn faster. They make good habits feel good — which is exactly the point.

Earning vs. spending

The Cookie Shop

The Cookie Shop is where you turn earned cookies into real rewards, created by your educators and the uBitto team. Open it from your Learner Dashboard → Cookies tab.

What you can redeem

How to redeem

1. Go to your Learner Dashboard.
2. Open the Cookies tab.
3. Browse the available items in the Cookie Shop.
4. Tap Redeem on the item you want.
5. Your cookies are deducted and the reward is yours.

Schedule & Booking

If your program includes live sessions — one-on-one private lessons or group classes — you'll reserve your times through uBitto's built-in booking system. It handles availability, payment, reminders, and time zones for you, so all you have to do is show up ready to learn.

How to book a session

1. Go to the program page of the educator you want to learn with.
2. Check the Available Date & Time heatmap to see when they're free.
3. Tap Book Now.
4. Choose a service (the session type and duration).
5. Pick your preferred date and time from the open slots.
6. Fill in your details and complete payment.
7. You'll get a booking confirmation by email.

Saving with package discounts

Many educators offer better prices when you book several sessions at once. When a package is available, you'll see a discount banner at the top of the booking widget:

• Starter — 4+ sessions, 4% off
• Boost — 8+ sessions, 9% off
• Pro — 12+ sessions, 14% off
• Master — 24+ sessions, 18% off

Try before you commit: trial lessons

Lots of educators offer a trial lesson at a reduced price so you can get a feel for their teaching style first. Look for a "Trial Lesson" or "Book Trial" option on the program page.

Managing your bookings

Once you've booked, you can:

• See your upcoming sessions on your Learner Dashboard.
• Get email reminders before each session so you never miss one.
• Message your educator through the community group if you need to reschedule.

Time zones — read this once

The availability heatmap and booking widget automatically convert everything to your local time zone. Your educator's own time zone is noted below the heatmap for reference, but every time you actually see is already in your time.

Joining Community Groups

When you enroll in a program, you're automatically added to that program's group — your dedicated space to learn with your educator and classmates. This is where lessons get posted, questions get answered, and you get to practice with people on the same path as you.

How to reach your groups

1. Tap Community in the bottom navigation bar.
2. You'll see every group you've joined.
3. Tap a group to enter and start taking part.

What's inside a group

Participating in Forums

Forums are where the real learning happens. Your educator posts lessons, vocabulary, and quizzes here; you reply, ask questions, and practice your Korean. Don't just read — the learners who post the most improve the fastest.

Reading lesson posts

Your educator creates a topic for each lesson. These usually include:

• New vocabulary and grammar explanations
• Practice sentences and worked examples
• Embedded quizzes for you to try on the spot
• Discussion prompts or homework

Replying to a topic

1. Scroll to the bottom of the topic.
2. Type your reply in the text box.
3. Tap Submit.

Try to write in Korean as much as you can — this is your safe space to practise. Don't worry about mistakes; that's exactly what the AI Writing Review is for.

Taking Quizzes

Quizzes are how you turn a lesson into memory. They're embedded right inside forum posts, so you can take them without ever leaving the discussion — and your result is posted automatically for your educator to see.

How to take a quiz

1. Find the quiz viewer embedded in a forum post or reply.
2. Tap Start to begin.
3. Answer all the questions.
4. Your score and points earned appear at the end.
5. Your result is posted automatically as a reply in the topic.

Quiz types you'll meet

uBitto uses many quiz styles on purpose — each one trains a different skill, and variety keeps practice from getting stale.

Where your results go

After a quiz, your result appears in two places:

• The forum topic — as a reply, so your educator and classmates can see it.
• Your activity feed — on your personal timeline.

AI Writing Review

Want instant, judgment-free feedback on your Korean writing? The AI Writing Review reads your text and shows you exactly where you went wrong — with the correction right beside the mistake. It's like having a patient tutor available at any hour.

How to get your writing reviewed

1. Write some Korean in a forum reply — homework, practice sentences, anything.
2. You (or your educator) tap the AI Review button on that reply.
3. The AI posts a correction reply, showing each error in a clear [wrong → right] format.
4. You earn Writing skill points for it.

What it corrects

• Spelling errors
• Grammar mistakes (particles, verb endings)
• Spacing issues
• Unnatural expressions that a native speaker wouldn't use

Activity Feed

The activity feed is your social timeline — a live look at what's happening across your community, and a record of your own learning. It's a great way to stay connected and to feel the momentum building.

Getting to your feed

1. Tap Activity in the bottom navigation bar.
2. You'll see recent activity from all the communities you're part of.

What shows up in your feed

• Your quiz results and scores
• Points and cookies you've earned
• Forum posts from your groups
• New members joining your groups
• Activity from other learners in your classes

Notifications

Notifications make sure you never miss the moments that matter — a reply from your educator, a new lesson, or points landing in your account.

You'll be notified when:

• Your educator replies to your forum post
• Your educator posts a new lesson or quiz
• You receive skill points or cookies
• Someone mentions you in a discussion
• A new discussion is posted in your group

Tips for Success

After watching thousands of learners, here's what actually separates the ones who reach fluency from the ones who stall. None of it is complicated.

Practise every day

Even 10 minutes a day makes a huge difference. One quiz, one sentence, one lesson post. Consistency beats intensity every single time — a little daily practice will outpace occasional cramming.

Write in Korean

Use your forum replies to write in Korean, not English. Don't fear mistakes — the AI Writing Review is there to catch them, and every correction is a lesson you'll remember.

Take quizzes more than once

Retaking quizzes cements what you've learned, and you earn bonus points for beating your old score. There's no downside — only upside.

Engage with your community

Reply to other learners, answer a question when you can, and cheer each other on. Learning is more fun — and it sticks better — when you do it with people.

Ask questions

If something doesn't make sense, ask. Post in the forum and your educator or a fellow learner will help. I promise there's no such thing as a silly question here.

Track your progress

Check your dashboard regularly. Watching your skill radar grow is genuinely motivating — celebrate your milestones, they're proof you're getting somewhere.

Support Your Teacher

Your teacher pours real effort into every lesson — preparing materials, giving you feedback, and showing up with energy each session. One of the kindest and most useful ways to say thank you is to leave a short review on their programme page.

Why it matters more than you'd think

• It helps your teacher grow. Reviews help other learners discover them — and more students means your teacher can keep doing what they love.
• It helps future learners decide. Think back to when you were choosing a class — wouldn't an honest review from a real learner have helped?
• It takes under two minutes. A few genuine sentences is more than enough.

What to write

No need to be fancy — just share what's true for you:

• What do you enjoy about the lessons?
• Has your Korean improved, and how?
• What makes this teacher different?
• Would you recommend them to a friend?

Where to leave a review

Go to your teacher's programme page and scroll to the Reviews section at the bottom. If your teacher shares a direct link, it usually looks like this:

Bonus: send friends through your teacher's referral link

Every educator on uBitto has a unique referral link. When you or a friend signs up through it and books with your teacher, the teacher earns a higher share — 90% instead of 80% on every booking. The bonus comes out of uBitto's cut, not yours — same lesson price for the new learner, more of it going back to the person making your learning happen.

How to use your teacher's link

• Ask your teacher for their referral link — or look for a ?ref= tag in any quiz or program they share with you.
• Share it with friends, family, or anyone who'd love to learn from your teacher.
• When they sign up through the link and book, the teacher gets the higher 90% rate automatically — for as long as that learner keeps studying.

HRDC & Your Course

A lot of learners in Malaysia ask whether their Korean course can be funded through HRDC (HRD Corp). Here's the short, honest answer — and how to make it work if your employer is involved.

Can I claim HRDC for my Korean course myself?

HRDC claims are made by employers, not individuals. The training levy is paid by registered companies, so as an individual learner you can't claim it directly.

My company is paying — can they claim it?

Yes. If your employer sponsors your Korean training, they can claim eligible corporate or group training from their HRDC levy, because uBitto is an HRD Corp-registered training provider.

1. Ask your HR or training team to arrange the course as corporate training through uBitto.
2. uBitto provides the required paperwork — course outline, trainer profile, and attendance — for the claim.
3. Your company applies for the grant before training starts, then submits the claim afterward.

Educator Guide: Dashboard, Programs & Community

Welcome. I built uBitto so that teaching a language could actually pay you well and feel less lonely. This guide walks you through everything — setting up programs, running quizzes, taking bookings, getting paid, and building a community your learners never want to leave.

Getting Started

Let me start with the big picture, because it shapes everything else. On uBitto you're not just uploading a course and hoping people watch it. You're building a small learning world — where students take your classes, practise between sessions, ask questions, cheer each other on, and slowly turn into fluent speakers. Your community group is the heart of that world, and it's where most of the magic (and most of your reviews and referrals) comes from.

Finding your way around

Here are the four places you'll spend almost all your time. Get comfortable moving between them and the rest of the platform falls into place.

Reaching your community

1. Open Community from the top navigation menu.
2. You'll see every group you're a member of or manage.
3. Click your program's group to step inside.

Your Educator Dashboard

Your dashboard is where you run your teaching business day to day. I designed it so that the things you do most often are one click away, and the things you rarely touch stay out of your way. Open it from Dashboard in the bottom navigation, or from the main menu under Educator Dashboard.

The areas you'll use most

Reading your Programs tab

Every program you create shows up here with a status badge, so you always know where it stands:

• Published — live and visible to students.
• Draft — a work in progress that only you can see.
• Pending — submitted and waiting for a quick review before it goes live.

What each program button does

Each program card carries a row of action buttons. You won't need all of them every day, but it helps to know what's there:

• Edit Content — open the editor to change the title, description, pricing, schedule, and every other detail.
• Course Builder — add, edit, and rearrange lessons and topics. This is where you actually build the curriculum.
• Manage Schedule — open the booking panel to manage your time slots, appointments, and working hours (for 1-on-1 and bookable programs).
• Manage Subscription — view and manage subscription plans for group-class programs.
• Award Learners — open the award panel to give skill points to students enrolled in this program.
• Community — jump straight to the group linked to this program.
• View Program — see the public listing exactly as students see it.
• View Listing — go to the programs archive page.
• Share — copy the program link to share on social media or in messages.
• View Certificate — preview the certificate students receive on completion.
• Clone for Educator — (admin only) duplicate this program and assign it to another educator.
• Submit for Review / Publish — send a draft for review, or publish directly if you're approved.
• Unpublish — take a live program offline temporarily (existing enrolments aren't affected).
• Delete — permanently remove the program. Handle with care.

Finding programs fast

Once you have a few programs, use the filter bar at the top to narrow the list by status (Published, Draft, Pending), by type (1-on-1, Group Class, Self-Paced, Experience), or by searching the program name.

From your dashboard — To-dos

What lives here

The to-dos section is deliberately quiet — it surfaces only what genuinely needs you today: ungraded submissions, unread learner messages, and discussion replies waiting for an answer. No noise, just the next right thing.

How items get here

Each card maps to a real source — a submission in a group, a direct message, or a question in a thread — pulled together so nothing slips through the cracks.

Acting on a card

Click Open inbox or Reply now to jump straight to the feed and grade or reply inline. The moment you handle it, the to-do clears itself.

Creating & Editing Programs

Programs are the core of your teaching business here, so it's worth getting them right. The creation wizard walks you through eight steps — but don't let that number scare you. Most of it is describing what you already know how to teach. Let me take you through each step and, more importantly, why it matters.

Step 1: Choose your program type

This first choice shapes everything after it, so pick the format that matches how you actually want to teach:

Step 2: Basic info — your first impression

This is what a potential student sees before they know anything about you. Slow down here; it's the highest-leverage writing you'll do.

Program Title. The first thing people read, and often the only thing. Be specific about the outcome, name the skill, and keep it under 70 characters so it displays cleanly. Titles that promise a concrete result work best — for example, "Korean for Beginners: Read Hangul in 7 Days" or "TOPIK II Prep: From Level 3 to Level 5".

Short Description. Your elevator pitch in about 200 characters, shown in search results and listings. Lead with the transformation, use action words (Master, Build, Achieve), and speak to the goal your ideal student already has in mind.

Program Description. Your room to build trust. A simple structure that converts well: open with the transformation, say who it's for, list what they'll learn (bullets read easily), then explain what makes your teaching different.

Featured Image. Your visual handshake. Use a clear, well-lit photo at 1200 × 630 pixels — and include your face. Students enrol with people, not thumbnails, and a warm photo genuinely lifts your click rate.

Step 3: Program details

• Teaching Subject — the language you teach. If yours isn't listed, you can add a new category.
• Language of Instruction — the language you teach in, not the one you teach. Teaching Korean to English speakers? Choose English.
• Location — even for online programs this helps with time zones and cultural context. Type your city or drop a pin.
• Focus Areas — pick up to 5 so students instantly see if you fit: Beginners, Conversational, Business & Work, Exam Preparation, For Children, Traveling.
• Program Tags — up to 10 tags that help learners discover you in search.
• Community Group — create or link the group where students will interact. Click "Create Community Group" and one is set up for you automatically.

Program Level. uBitto uses the 6S proficiency system, aligned to TOPIK. Choose the level your program is genuinely pitched at — a mismatch here is the most common reason learners feel a class is "too hard" or "too easy":

• Seed — complete beginners (Conversational · TOPIK I)
• Sprout — knows the basics, building a foundation (Conversational · TOPIK I)
• Survival — can handle everyday situations (Survival · TOPIK I–II)
• Solid — comfortable in most situations (Academic · TOPIK II)
• Significant — near-fluent, handles complex topics (Professional · TOPIK II)
• Significant+ — near-native mastery (Professional · TOPIK II · Level 6)

Step 4: Media that sells

• Preview Video — a 1–3 minute intro is one of your strongest conversion tools. Film in landscape at eye level, face the light, introduce yourself, explain your approach, and end with a clear invitation to book.
• Photo Gallery — 3–6 photos of your teaching, materials, or past sessions. Programs with galleries simply enrol more students.
• Certificate Template — pick the certificate students receive on completion.

Step 5: Credentials

Trust is currency. Add what you have:

• HRDC Claimable — tick this if your program qualifies for HRDC funding, so Malaysian employers can claim the training cost. (More on this in HRDC.)
• Certified Interpreter — if you hold interpretation certification.
• Upload supporting documents so we can verify them.

Step 6: About you

Your educator profile, shown on the program page. It's pre-filled from your account, but tailor it per program — your teaching background, native-speaker status, and years of experience all help a hesitant learner say yes.

Step 7: Schedule & pricing

This step changes depending on the type you chose in Step 1:

For self-paced courses, set a one-time enrolment fee (or make it free) and choose how students move through it: Linear (step by step) or Free Form (any order).

Let AI do the heavy lifting

You don't have to write everything from a blank page. uBitto has AI woven through the creation process to give you a strong first draft in seconds.

Generate program content (Step 2). Click "Generate with AI" at the top of Step 2, describe your idea in a sentence or two, and it drafts a title, a short description, and a full description for you.

Generate lesson outlines (Course Builder). After creating the program, open the Course Builder and use the AI Lesson Generator:

1. In your program, click Course Builder.
2. Click Generate Lessons with AI.
3. Give it your focus, the number of lessons, and the difficulty.
4. Optionally tick "Generate lesson content" for full descriptions too.
5. It creates structured lessons you can freely edit and rearrange.

Step 8: Review & submit

Preview everything, hop back to any step to fix things, then submit. If you're an approved educator it publishes immediately; if it's your very first program, it goes to a short review first.

Editing a program later

1. Open your Educator Dashboard → Programs.
2. Click Edit on the program.
3. Change anything across any step.
4. Click Update to save.

From your dashboard — My listings

What a listing is

One thing you offer — a program, course, 1-on-1, or experience. Each appears in the uBitto catalogue with its own public link your learners can share.

Edit vs. New

Edit opens a listing with your settings pre-filled; New listing starts fresh — you choose the type (1-on-1, group, scheduled, on-demand, experience) on step 1.

Review link

Click Review link on any listing to copy a link that drops learners right on its reviews block — perfect to send just after a great class.

Group action

Every program has a paired community group; Group opens the announcement drawer for it.

Creating Quizzes

Quizzes are, honestly, my favourite part of uBitto. They turn passive watching into active practice, they give learners the little dopamine hit of a score, and they hand you a clear picture of who's struggling with what. You build them from your Teacher Cabinet and share them in forums or embed them in courses.

Opening the quiz editor

1. Open your Educator Dashboard.
2. Go to Teacher Cabinet.
3. Click Create Quiz.

The quiz types you can build

Each type trains a different muscle. Mix them so learners practise more than one skill:

Building a quiz, step by step

1. Choose the quiz type from the dropdown.
2. Give it a clear name (e.g. "Past Tense Actions", "Restaurant Vocabulary").
3. Add your questions and answers — the fields adapt to the type you picked.
4. Click Save.
5. Optionally Share it to a forum topic or group.

Sharing what you built

• Share to Forum — embed the quiz in a group forum topic.
• Assign from Forum — use the Assign Quiz button in any forum reply.
• AI Teaching Assistant — let the AI suggest and post quizzes to a topic for you.

Editing and audio

Edit any quiz from the Teacher Cabinet, or hit Edit directly on an embedded quiz in a forum — changes save instantly and update everywhere the quiz appears. For audio-based types (Dictation, Dialogue, Speaking Script), uBitto generates Korean text-to-speech automatically when you save.

From your dashboard — My quizzes

What a quiz is

A short knowledge check you attach to a class summary or send on its own. Learners earn skill points based on how accurately they answer.

AI Quiz Maker

Opens the Teacher Cabinet drawer to generate questions from a topic, a vocab list, or your last class summary in seconds.

Address common mistakes

The "Address in next class →" suggestion gathers the questions many learners got wrong — a ready-made warm-up for your next session.

Auto-grading

Multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank grade themselves; open-ended answers land in your to-dos for a personal look.

Schedule & Booking

If your program includes live sessions — 1-on-1 or group — students book time with you through the integrated booking system. Set it up once and it quietly handles availability, payments, and reminders so you can focus on teaching.

How booking works

1. You set your available days and times when creating your program.
2. Your availability shows as a heatmap on your program page.
3. Students click Book Now to open the booking widget.
4. They choose a service, date, and time, and pay.
5. You both receive confirmation notifications.

Managing your availability

Your availability is synced from your program's schedule settings. To change it:

1. Go to Edit Program → Schedule & Pricing.
2. Update your conducting days and session times.
3. Save — your heatmap updates automatically.

Booking notifications and trials

When a student books, you get an email confirmation with the details, the session appears in your booking calendar, and the student can see it from their own dashboard. You can also offer trial lessons at a reduced price to attract new students — enable it in Step 7 of program creation, and it shows as a separate option on your page.

From your dashboard — This week

Source of truth

The week view pulls live from your booking calendar — every class, 1-on-1, and experience with a confirmed booking shows up here.

Click into a class

Each tile opens a class drawer where you can switch the meeting type (Zoom / Google Meet / in-person), reschedule, or message everyone attending.

Advanced settings

To add services, block time off, or change durations, use Advanced settings → in the section header.

Calendar integrations

To sync with Google Calendar, Google Meet, or Zoom, open Advanced settings → your name → My Profile → Integrations.

Your First Booking

Your first booking is a small milestone — someone chose you. How you handle the next few hours sets the tone for the whole relationship. Here's what I'd do:

1. Check your dashboard. Open the Schedule section to see the new booking and the learner's details.
2. Confirm it. Review the date, time, and learner info and confirm — they're notified automatically.
3. Say hello. Send a warm welcome message through uBitto, introduce yourself, and ask about their goals and current level.
4. Check their level. On their profile, see if they've done the Challenge Your Knowledge quiz — it reveals their skill levels so you can prepare the right material.
5. Prepare. Based on their level, get your materials ready. The AI Teaching Assistant can quickly generate quizzes and writing tasks tailored to them.

Rescheduling a session

Need to move a session? Message your learner through uBitto first to agree on a new time, then update it in your dashboard. Both of you get confirmation emails automatically.

Editing Service Rates

Your rates aren't set in stone — you can revisit them any time as your skill and reputation grow.

1. Open your Educator Dashboard.
2. Click the program you want to update.
3. Go to Step 7: Schedule & Pricing in the editor.
4. Update your rates — different rates for 1-on-1, group, or trial lessons.
5. Click Save.

Changing Available Hours

Your availability is managed in your program's scheduling settings:

1. Open your Educator Dashboard.
2. Click Manage Schedule on the program.
3. Set your available hours per day — they can differ day to day.
4. Add buffer times between sessions so you're never rushed back-to-back.
5. Double-check your timezone — students see your slots converted to their own local time.
6. Click Save Changes.

From your dashboard — Availability & integrations

Where availability lives

Your weekly availability appears in the This week section as light dashed "Available" pills — open slots are bookable for 1-on-1s, while filled blocks are real bookings or recurring group-class sessions.

Connection status

The integrations area shows the services your bookings rely on — Google Calendar (sync), Google Meet / Zoom (video links), and your payout connection. Click a connectable card to manage it.

To change your hours

Click Advanced rules → (or Manage Booking at the top of the schedule) to set day-by-day hours, blackout dates, and buffer times.

Contacting Your Learner

Good communication is most of good teaching. You have three ways to reach your learners, each suited to a different moment:

When a learner books, they appear automatically in your inbox. Their profile shows their level, quiz results, and skill progress so you can walk in already knowing where they are.

From your dashboard — My learners

Who you see

Every learner enrolled in any of your programs, sorted by most-recent activity (15 at a time — use Show next 15).

Columns

Level (from accumulated skill points), Streak (consecutive active days), Trend (last 30 days vs the prior 30 — ↑/↓/→), LTV (total paid on your programs), and Focus (their weakest skill right now).

Click a row

Expands an inline panel with their skills radar, recent corrections, and a 6-month points history — the perfect 30-second prep before a 1-on-1.

At-risk check-ins

The "Send check-in to N at-risk learners" button auto-messages everyone flagged At risk — a one-tap way to catch someone before they drift.

When a Learner Misses a Lesson

It happens to everyone eventually. Handle it calmly and you often turn a no-show into a loyal student:

1. Wait at least half the session. They may just be running late.
2. Send a message. Check in kindly — "everything okay?" goes a long way.
3. Record the absence. If they never show, the session earnings are still yours.
4. Consider a goodwill reschedule. Especially for a first-time no-show, offering to reschedule builds enormous trust.

Most learners will cancel or reschedule in advance when they know they can't make it. Cancellations more than 48 hours before a session are eligible for a full refund.

Payments & Payouts

Let's talk about getting paid, because that's why we can keep doing this work. Payments run on a clear monthly cycle so you always know what's coming and when:

What's included and how to track it

Your payout covers program subscriptions (completed orders for the month) and session bookings (sessions fulfilled during the month). Track everything in the Finance section of your dashboard — current balance, pending payouts, and your full transaction history.

From your dashboard — Your earnings

What's counted

Completed bookings on your programs, minus uBitto's commission (20% standard, or 10% for learners you referred).

The chart

Your last 6 months of net earnings — hover any month for the exact total.

Payouts

Paid monthly on the 15th for the previous month's completed bookings; Payout history holds full statements with downloadable receipts.

Setting up your payout account

Direct automated payouts are coming soon; for now payouts are processed manually through our secure payout system — contact members@ubitto.com to set up your bank details.

Awarding Points to Students

Recognition is fuel. When you award points, you're not just moving a number — you're telling a learner "I saw that effort." Points are tracked across the seven language skills:

• Listening — comprehension and audio understanding
• Expression — creative output and natural phrasing
• Vocabulary — word knowledge and usage
• Speaking — pronunciation and fluency
• Grammar — sentence structure and accuracy
• Reading — text comprehension
• Writing — written composition

How to award points

1. Open your Educator Dashboard.
2. Go to the Awards section.
3. Choose the student and the skill.
4. Enter the points and click Award.

Cookies & Gifting

Cookies are uBitto's little virtual currency. Students earn them and spend them on things like AI Writing Review — and you can gift them to celebrate effort and keep momentum going.

Gifting cookies

1. Open your Educator Dashboard.
2. Go to Gift Cookies.
3. Choose the student and the number of cookies.
4. Click Gift.

The student gets a notification and the cookies land in their balance instantly.

Building your Cookie Shop

You can create items your students redeem with cookies — a simple, powerful way to motivate learners and share your best resources. There are three kinds:

Creating a shop item

1. Open your Educator Dashboard.
2. Go to the Cookie Shop section.
3. Click Create Item.
4. Pick the type (downloadable, coupon, or badge).
5. Set a name, description, and cookie price.
6. Upload the file or configure the coupon/badge.
7. Click Save to publish it to the shop.

Community Groups

Every program can have its own private community group — a dedicated home where your enrolled students interact, share progress, and discuss lessons. This is where a course stops feeling like a video library and starts feeling like a class.

What's inside a group

Managing your group

As the creator, you have full control. Open the Manage tab inside the group to adjust:

• Group Details — name, description, and cover photo.
• Privacy — Private (only enrolled students see content) or Public.
• Members — invite, remove, or promote members to moderators.
• Forum Settings — turn the discussion forum on or off.
• Default Landing Tab — which tab members see first (I recommend Discussions).
• Activity Feed — who can post to it.
• Media & Documents — enable or disable media, document, and video sharing.
• Messaging — who can send group messages.

From your dashboard — Groups & assignments

What a group is

Every program has a paired group; enrolled learners are added automatically and you're the group admin.

Class summary first

Post a Class summary after each session — it pulls last week's "Next:" bullets forward as this week's "Learnt:", then chains straight into a new assignment.

Assignments

Target the activity feed (lightweight) or the discussion forum (threaded), and pick the submission format(s) — writing, audio, video — as a hint to learners.

Announce

Pinned announcements sit at the top of the group's feed; tick "Also send as direct message" for anything urgent.

Using Forums

Forums are the heartbeat of your community. This is where you post lessons, students ask questions, and real interactive learning happens between live sessions.

Creating a topic

1. Open your group's Forum tab.
2. Click New Discussion.
3. Add a title and your lesson content.
4. Click Submit.

Replying and structuring lessons

Click Reply on any topic to answer questions — replies thread neatly under the original post. For the best experience, treat each topic like a mini-lesson: open with a short explanation or vocabulary list, include a "Learnt:" section of the key words or grammar, add a practice quiz (see the next section), and close with a discussion prompt or homework.

Sharing Quizzes in Forums

One of my favourite touches: you can embed interactive quizzes right inside forum posts, so students practise without ever leaving the discussion.

Assigning a quiz

1. Open the forum topic where you want the quiz.
2. Click Assign Quiz in the reply toolbar.
3. Search for a quiz by name or type.
4. Select it — it embeds directly in your reply.

You can embed any of the nine quiz types — Grammar Context, Multiple Choice, Build Sentence, Dictation, Dialogue, Image Words, Story Cube, Speaking Script, and Scene Dubbing (see Creating Quizzes for what each one trains).

How students see results

When a student finishes a quiz in your forum, their result posts automatically as a reply in the thread — you see their score and the points they earned, and so does the rest of the group. That gentle visibility is a quiet motivator all on its own.

AI Writing Review

Writing feedback is the most time-consuming thing a language teacher does — and the most valuable. AI Writing Review uses Claude AI to give your students instant, careful Korean writing corrections right inside the forum, so they never wait days for feedback.

How it works

1. A student writes Korean text in a forum reply.
2. You (or they) click the AI Review button on that reply.
3. The AI posts a correction reply showing each error in [wrong → right] form.
4. The student earns Writing skill points, and 3 cookies are deducted from their balance.

It catches spelling, grammar (particles, verb endings, conjugation), spacing, and unnatural expressions — the everyday mistakes that add up.

AI Teaching Assistant

The AI Teaching Assistant is like having a prep helper who's read your whole lesson. It lives as a sidebar panel on forum topic pages and turns your lesson content into ready-to-post quizzes.

Opening it

1. Open a forum topic where you've posted a lesson.
2. Click the Teaching Assistant button in the sidebar.
3. The panel slides in from the right.

What it can do

• Lesson Analysis — reads your lesson (especially the "Learnt:" section) and pulls out the key vocabulary and grammar.
• Quiz Suggestions — recommends existing quizzes from your library that fit the lesson.
• Generate New Quiz — if nothing fits, it creates a fresh quiz from the lesson vocabulary; you choose the type and add instructions.
• Multi-Difficulty Generation — makes Easy, Medium, and Hard versions of the same quiz for differentiated practice.
• Post to Topic — publishes the quiz to the current topic in one click.

Activity Feed

The activity feed is the pulse of your community — a live timeline of quiz completions, forum posts, new members, and awards. A quick glance tells you whether your community is buzzing or needs a nudge.

Where to find it

• Global Activity — click Activity in the bottom navigation to see everything across the platform.
• Group Activity — inside a group, click the Activity tab for that group's feed only.

You'll see quiz results students post, new topics and replies, members joining, and points or cookie awards — all in one scrollable stream.

Notifications

You don't need to keep the platform open all day. In-app notifications tap you on the shoulder when something needs you — so you can teach in focused bursts and still stay responsive. You'll be alerted when:

• A student replies to your forum topic.
• A student mentions you in a post.
• A new member joins your group.
• A student completes a quiz in your forum.
• A program is assigned to you (for cloned courses).

Expert Profile

Not ready to run a full teaching program? That's completely fine. The Expert Profile is for skilled Korean-language professionals who want to stay connected to uBitto for occasional, well-paid opportunities — without the commitment of being an active educator.

What it is

Think of it as your place in uBitto's talent network. Filling it in tells us you're available for work like this:

Who it's for

• Professionals too busy for full-time teaching who still want occasional work.
• Certified interpreters looking for event-based gigs.
• Native speakers with expertise in a specific field (business, entertainment, culture).
• Current educators open to projects beyond their programs.

Setting it up

1. Open your Educator Dashboard.
2. Go to the Expert Profile section.
3. Fill in your skills, experience, availability, and preferred project types.
4. Upload any relevant credentials or certificates.
5. Click Save.

Best Practices

After watching thousands of classes, here's what consistently separates thriving programs from quiet ones. None of it is complicated — it's just done consistently.

Getting Learner Reviews

Reviews are one of the most powerful ways to attract new learners — but here's what most educators miss: the best time to ask is while learners are still actively learning with you, not after the course ends.

Why reviews matter

• Build trust — new learners enrol far more readily when they see real feedback.
• Improve visibility — programs with reviews rank higher and appear more prominently.
• Increase bookings — a program with 5+ reviews converts far better than one with none.
• Strengthen your profile — reviews become part of your teaching track record.

When to ask

The sweet spot is after 3–5 sessions — enough for a genuine opinion, while they're still engaged. Don't wait for the final lesson.

How to ask

A simple, friendly message does it. Here's a template you can copy and make your own:

Your review link

Each program has a direct link to its reviews section. The format is:

For example:

Find your program's URL by opening its page and adding #reviews to the end. Or just use the Review link button on the listing to copy it for you.

From your dashboard — Recent reviews

Where reviews come from

Learners leave a star rating (1–5) and an optional comment on a program's public page, tied to that listing.

What you see

The 8 most recent reviews across all your listings — click a listing name to jump to its reviews block.

Replying

Click Reply to post a public response nested under the review. Future learners read these too, so be warm and specific.

Asking for reviews

Use the Review link button on any listing to copy a link that lands learners on the review form.

Package Booking Discounts

Want steadier income and more committed students? Package Booking Discounts let learners book several sessions at once for a discount, instead of deciding one session at a time. It's one of the simplest ways to turn a casual learner into a regular.

Why offer packages

• Learners stay consistent — a committed package means they keep showing up, which means better results.
• More repeat bookings — a 4-session package is 4 guaranteed sessions, not 4 separate decisions to rebook.
• Stronger relationships — long-term learners trust you more, refer others, and leave better reviews.
• Stable income — your schedule fills in advance, so you can plan with confidence.

An example structure

You set your own discounts. Here's a structure that works well:

How to enable it

Package booking is built into the program creation flow:

1. Go to Create Program (or edit an existing 1-on-1 program).
2. Open the last step — Schedule & Pricing.
3. Find the checkbox "Do you wish to create a package?"
4. Tick it and set your package sizes and discount percentages.
5. Save — learners now see the package options on your page.

Referral Program — Earn 90% on Students You Bring

Here's a deal I'm genuinely proud of. When you bring your own students to uBitto, you earn a higher share — 90% instead of the standard 80% — on every booking they make with you, for as long as they keep learning. The 10% bonus is permanent and applies automatically; you never have to claim it.

How tracking works

• Every educator gets a unique referral link with your ID, e.g. https://ubitto.com/?ref=YOUR_ID
• When someone clicks it, we save a 30-day cookie on their device.
• If they sign up within those 30 days, they're permanently tagged as your referral.
• Every future booking they make with you is calculated at 90% — automatically, on every payout.
• Attribution is set-once: the first educator's link they click is the one that sticks.

Three ways to share your link

Where to find it

Go to Educator Dashboard → My Earning → My Referral. You'll see:

• Your unique referral link with one-click copy.
• Every student you've referred — avatar, name, email, signup date.
• The source badge for each referral (Direct / Quiz / Program).
• A Chat button on each student to start a private conversation.

Open My Referral →

How to maximise it

• Add your direct link to social bios — Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube About — wherever people find you.
• Share quiz posts to your followers — they're high-engagement and pre-tagged with your referral.
• Promote your programs to your own audience — those bookings stay at 90% for life.
• Mention your link in welcome messages — to past contacts and students who haven't signed up yet.

From your dashboard — Referral program

1. Share your link. Every educator has a unique referral link (shown above the button). A learner only needs to land on uBitto via your link once — we tag their account on signup and the credit sticks.
2. They sign up & book. When a referred learner books any program — yours or another educator's — they're permanently attributed to you.
3. You earn extra commission. uBitto's standard cut is 20%; for learners you referred it drops to 10%, so you keep an extra 10% of every booking they make, for life. (A $100 booking → you keep $90 instead of $80.)
4. Track conversions. Signed up = total via your link; Converted = referred learners who started a program; Earned / Pending = commissions, paid monthly.
5. Getting paid. Referral commission rolls into your normal monthly payout — no separate withdrawal.

Share Your Space

Have a venue — a café, studio, classroom, or meeting room? You can host uBitto sessions there and earn from it. You provide the room; we bring the learners and educators.

The full walkthrough — what kind of space works, how you earn, how bookings are handled, and how to get started — lives in the dedicated Space Share guide.

HRDC — Claims & Becoming a Certified Trainer

Two questions come up a lot around HRDC — one from teachers who want to run corporate training, and one about how companies actually claim it. Here's both.

How do I register as an HRDC-certified trainer?

To deliver HRDC-claimable corporate training through uBitto, you need a valid HRD Corp Train-the-Trainer (TTT) certificate.

1. Apply for the TTT programme via HRD Corp (hrdcorp.gov.my) and complete the certification.
2. Once certified, send us your TTT certificate and we'll add it to your educator profile.
3. We can then assign you to corporate training groups, where the company claims the training cost from their HRDC levy.

How do companies claim HRDC for my classes?

uBitto is an HRD Corp-registered training provider, so the client company applies for the grant (via e-TRiS) before training starts and submits the claim afterward. uBitto prepares the paperwork — course outline, trainer profile, attendance — and you simply deliver the sessions and mark attendance every time.

Space Share Guide: Host Classes, Earn From Your Space

Partner your café, studio, or co-working space with uBitto to host Korean language classes and cultural experiences — regular bookings and extra income, with no change to how you operate.

Overview

Let me explain this in one sentence, because it really is that simple: you already have a space that works — Space Share helps it earn more. You run a café, a studio, a co-working floor, a bookshop. It has a soul, a crowd, and a few hours in the week when it sits quieter than you'd like. uBitto fills those quieter hours with Korean language classes and cultural experiences — paying visitors who arrive already booked — and pays you a fixed fee for the use of your room.

I built this side of uBitto for owners who kept telling me the same thing: "I love the idea of hosting classes, but I don't have the time to find students, chase payments, or manage a teacher." So we took all of that off your plate. Here's what the partnership gives you:

The Premise

Here is the whole idea, stripped to its core, so you never have to wonder what you're signing up for:

Think of it like a well-run pop-up that lands in your quiet slot, brings its own crowd, cleans up after itself, and leaves you with a fee and a room full of people who now know your business exists. You are the host, not the operator. That distinction is the heart of Space Share.

Who This Is For

This isn't for bare, dedicated event halls — it's for places that already have a purpose, a regular crowd, and a bit of character. If you have a corner, a room, or a few underused hours during quieter periods, you're exactly who we're looking for. Find yourself in the list below:

The right fit

What Changes — and What Doesn't

The question every owner asks first is, "What will I have to change about how I run my place?" The honest answer is: almost nothing. This partnership slots into your existing operation — it doesn't rearrange it. Here's the clear before-and-after.

What Your Space Earns

Let's talk money plainly, because it's the reason you're here. Every venue partner receives a fixed space fee per session — paid automatically after each completed class or workshop. We set that fee together with you before anything begins. No surprises, no deductions, no chasing invoices.

How the fee works

The upside beyond the fee

The venue fee is the guaranteed part. But most partners tell me the bigger win shows up quietly, over the following weeks:

• F&B & footfall — weekly students become regulars. They order drinks, bring friends, and come back outside class hours. This sits on top of your venue fee and compounds over time.
• Free marketing — every session is promoted to our community, social channels, and email list. Your space gets exposure to new customers at zero cost to you.

Everything uBitto Handles

This is the part I'm proudest of, because it's the part that makes hosting effortless. We run the entire program — you simply host it. Here is exactly what we take off your plate:

What this looks like in real numbers

To make it concrete, here are a few illustrative pictures of partners putting quiet hours to work:

• Café owner — a quiet Saturday morning slot now runs a kimchi workshop; ~10 students, all ordering drinks. Extra RM1,100+ per Saturday session.
• Co-working manager — empty Tuesday/Thursday evening meeting rooms used for classes. ~RM1,200/month from unused rooms.
• Art studio owner — weekend cultural workshops in the open space between classes. 2 workshops/month = ~RM1,600 extra.
• Language centre owner — idle weekday-morning classrooms filled with no conflict to your own programme. ~RM1,200–1,800/month.

Illustrative examples based on actual uBitto pricing structures.

Space Requirements

Before you worry about whether your space "qualifies," let me reassure you: we're not asking you to renovate or buy anything new. If you already have most of the essentials below, you're ready to go — and if you're missing one or two, we sort it out together.

Must have

• Seating for 8–15 people — tables and chairs arranged so students can face the educator. Café, meeting-room, and classroom layouts all work.
• Adequate lighting — natural or standard overhead lighting is enough for reading and writing.
• Reasonably quiet environment — a semi-private corner, back room, or quieter period (evenings, weekends) so students can hear clearly.
• Whiteboard or flip chart — essential for language classes, where educators write characters, vocabulary, and grammar live.
• WiFi access — sharing your existing guest WiFi password is all that's needed.

Nice to have

• TV screen or projector — lets educators display slides and videos; upgrades the experience but isn't required.
• Basic kitchen or prep area — only for cultural workshops (kimchi-making, Korean cooking); cafés and restaurants usually have this already.
• Power points near seating — to plug in a laptop or display without cables running across the room.

What each program type needs

Different sessions have different needs. Use this quick reference to see what your space is already set up to host:

How to Get Started

From first conversation to first session is usually about a week. There's no paperwork marathon and no setup fee — here's exactly what happens, and who does what at each step.

1. One conversation — 20 minutes. We learn about your space, your quieter slots, and what sessions fit best, and we agree your venue fee together. You: 20 minutes, once.
2. We schedule and promote the first session. uBitto locks in a date and promotes it to our student community; registrations and payments are collected on our end. uBitto handles everything.
3. Students arrive. Session runs. You earn. The educator manages the class; your team operates as normal; your fee transfers automatically once the session is complete. Fully automated payout.
4. It repeats — on your schedule. You tell us the slots you're comfortable with and we fill them. Add more as your confidence grows, or keep it to one slot a week. You set the pace.

See who's already on board: browse the Space Directory to get a feel for the range of venues and how they list.

Get Started

One conversation. No commitment. We'll tell you how many sessions your space could host, what you'd earn, and what the first week looks like — before you agree to anything.

Experience Maker Guide: Share Your Culture, Get Paid

Turn your cultural knowledge into engaging experiences — virtual tours, cooking classes, workshops and more — and earn while you share what you love.

What is an Experience Maker?

Let me start with why we built this. Some of the most meaningful moments on uBitto don't happen in a language lesson at all — they happen when someone cooks their grandmother's recipe on a video call, walks you through their neighbourhood market, or sits you down to fold your first piece of hanji paper. That's culture, taught by the person who lives it. An Experience Maker is exactly that person: a cultural ambassador who shares real, hands-on knowledge through a live, interactive session — online or in person.

The important distinction to understand up front: a course is an ongoing journey (many lessons, the same learners week after week), while an experience is a session people book by the seat. It can be a one-off or something you run again and again — but each time, people pay for a place at that specific session. Think of a course as a class you enrol in, and an experience as an event you get a ticket to.

Types of experiences you can host

Experiences come in a few natural shapes. Pick the one that fits what you love to do and where you want to host it — you can always add more later. Here are the four we see most often:

Real examples already live on uBitto: Korean Farm Stay, Making Tteokguk, Hangeul Calligraphy, Traditional Craft Workshop, Temple Stay, Festival Experience.

Getting started — three simple steps

Getting your first experience live is genuinely quick. Here's the whole journey from idea to your first paid booking:

1. Create your experience. Sign up and design your session — choose the format, the topic, and who it's for. Give it a clear, inviting name (for example "Korean Temple Virtual Tour" or "Tapas Cooking Class") so a browsing learner instantly understands what they'll get.
2. Set your schedule & price. Choose the dates and times you're available and set your per-person price. You are in full control of your calendar — open only the slots you actually want to host.
3. Host & get paid. Learners find your experience, book a seat, and pay up front. You show up, host a wonderful session, and your share is paid out automatically after each event.

Ready to apply? Start from the Become an Experience Maker page, then create your first listing from the Pro dashboard.

Creating an experience listing

Your listing is your shop window — it's what a curious learner sees before they decide to book. From the Pro dashboard, add a new listing and pick the experience type. Then fill in each of these fields thoughtfully:

• Title & description — say exactly what people will do and what they'll take away. Be specific and inviting; paint the picture of the session.
• Format — online (virtual) or in-person. This changes what else you'll need (a meeting link, or a venue).
• Per-person price — experiences are priced per seat, so you're setting the price one guest pays to attend.
• Capacity — the minimum and maximum number of seats per session. The minimum protects you from hosting for just one person if you'd rather not; the maximum keeps the group small enough to feel personal.
• Duration & what's included — how long the session runs, plus any materials, ingredients, or take-home items you provide.

Where & how to host

How you host depends entirely on your format. Here's what each one needs:

Materials & safety

A little preparation here is what separates a smooth session from a stressful one:

• List any materials or ingredients participants need to bring themselves, and clearly say which ones you provide.
• For cooking or craft sessions, note allergens, sharp tools, heat, and any safety guidance right in the description — so guests arrive ready and safe.

Pricing & payouts

Let's be completely transparent about money, because you deserve to know exactly what you'll earn. You set your own per-person price, and the standard split for a self-hosted experience is simple:

Payments are collected upfront when learners book, so you're never chasing anyone for money. Your share is paid out within 48 hours of each completed session by secure bank transfer — no hidden fees.

Getting reviews

Reviews are the quiet engine behind steady bookings. A newcomer deciding whether to spend an evening with you trusts the words of past guests far more than anything you say about yourself — so a handful of warm, honest reviews will do more for your calendar than almost anything else.

Participants can rate and review each experience on its public page. You can reply to every review (a gracious reply to a happy guest is itself great marketing) and share a review link to gently nudge delighted guests into leaving one.

Tips for a great experience

After watching hundreds of sessions, here's what consistently separates the experiences guests rave about from the ones they forget:

• Lead with a clear promise. What will people make, see, or feel? Put that front and centre.
• Right-size the group. Keep numbers small enough for real interaction; for hands-on sessions, smaller is almost always better.
• Invest in your photos and title. A specific title and a few genuine, well-lit photos do more to drive bookings than a long description.
• Prepare guests in advance. Send a simple materials list before the session so everyone arrives ready.
• End on a high. Finish with a photo moment or a take-home — it earns reviews and brings people back for your next one.

Interpreters & Business Translation

uBitto runs a fully managed interpretation service — curated, vetted interpreters for Korean, English, Malay & Chinese, with a coordinator behind every booking. This guide has two sides: one for interpreters who want to work with us, and one for businesses that want to book us.

Overview

Let me tell you what we actually do here, because it's often misunderstood. uBitto is not a directory where you scroll through freelancers and hope for the best. We are a managed service: we recruit and vet the interpreters ourselves, we match the right person to your event, and we stay involved from the first enquiry to the moment the last session wraps. When something goes wrong on the day — and at live events, something always tries to — there is a coordinator whose job is to make it invisible to you.

That approach has made us the #1 largest Korean–English interpreter network in Malaysia, with 200+ vetted interpreters and a 9.8/10 client satisfaction score across 50+ events.

For interpreters — join the network

If you interpret between Korean, English, Malay, or Chinese, I'd genuinely love to have you on the roster. Most of our interpreters come from uBitto's own Learning Partner community — people who already teach or work in language professionally — but you don't have to be a teacher to join. What matters is that you're good, reliable, and ready to represent uBitto in front of a client.

Joining is a real application, not an instant sign-up. Here's exactly how it works:

1. Submit your Expert Profile. This is your application to join. Create your Expert Profile → Tell us your language pairs, your specialisations (medical, technical, legal, business, and so on), and your experience. Be specific — "5 years of technical interpretation for manufacturing" tells us far more than "experienced interpreter."
2. Get vetted. We review your profile and, where relevant, your language pairs in practice. This step protects everyone: it's why clients trust us, and it's why an assignment with your name on it is worth accepting.
3. Go on the roster. Once you're approved, you become eligible to be matched to events that fit your profile. You're not obligated to accept everything — you take the assignments that suit your schedule and expertise.

For interpreters — how you work

Here's the promise I make to every interpreter who joins: your job is to interpret brilliantly. Everything around that — the chasing, the scheduling, the "where do I park," the last-minute change of plans — is our job. We built the managed model precisely so you never have to be your own agent, coordinator, and crisis manager all at once.

For interpreters — getting paid

You're paid per completed assignment. Rates depend on the language pair, the format (on-site or remote), the duration, and the specialisation — and we confirm the rate with you before you accept a job, never after. No surprises, no haggling on the day.

To get started, submit your Expert Profile. Once you're on the roster, the rate is shared with each assignment offer, so you can decide with full information every time.

For clients — why managed, not freelancers

I'll be honest about the trade-off you're weighing, because you're right to weigh it. Booking a freelancer directly can look cheaper on paper. But an interpreter isn't a commodity you're buying — they're a person your entire event depends on for a few critical hours. When you book direct, you're also silently taking on every risk that a managed service would have absorbed for you.

And when your event grows, the model grows with it:

For clients — core services

Whatever the shape of your event, there's a format that fits. Not sure which one you need? Tell us the situation and we'll recommend one — that's part of what the scoping conversation is for.

For clients — how it works

From your first message to the close of your event, here's the path — and where we take the weight off you at each step:

1. Share your needs. Tell us your event, languages, dates, and format. We scope it within 24 hours, so you're not left waiting to plan the rest of your programme.
2. We match interpreters. We select interpreters from the curated network based on your industry, language pair, and event type — the right specialist, not just an available body.
3. Managed scheduling. We handle briefing, scheduling, travel coordination, and — importantly — backup arrangements, so the plan is resilient before anyone arrives.
4. Smooth event delivery. A dedicated coordinator provides on-the-day management, real-time support, and quality monitoring. If something shifts, we adapt so you don't have to.

For clients — track record

Numbers matter, but what they really represent is trust earned event by event: 200+ interpreters supplied · 50+ events supported · 9.8/10 client satisfaction. A few examples of the range we cover:
