When you first open your teacher dashboard, a green panel at the top shows two setup steps. They aren't decoration — until both are done, students can't enrol in your classes and pay you.
The panel disappears on its own once both steps are complete.
Step 1 — Add your bank transfer details
Go to Profile and fill in the Bank Transfer Details section: account name, account number, bank and branch.
These details are shown to a student at the moment they enrol in a paid class. They transfer the fee to you, upload the receipt, and you approve it.
Without these details, a student cannot pay you by bank transfer — so a paid
class effectively can't take enrolments. Free classes (fee set to 0) work
without them.
Money never passes through Edugo. Students pay you directly, and you keep 100% of the fee. See Bank transfer details for what students actually see.
Step 2 — Create your first class
Go to Classes → New Class.
At minimum you need a class name, a subject and a monthly fee. Everything else — schedule, location, description, cover image, tags — can be added later from the class settings, but filling them in now makes your class look far more credible to a student deciding whether to enrol.
Set the fee to 0 if the class is free. You can change the fee later; it applies
to future months, not to fees already paid.

What your dashboard shows once you're set up
Four cards across the top:
- Active Classes — how many classes are currently switched on
- Total Students — unique students across all your classes, so a student in two of your classes is counted once
- Pending Requests — enrolment and lesson-pack requests waiting for your approval. This is the number to watch: a student who has paid is waiting for you here.
- This Month — card payments received this month
Below that, your Upcoming Sessions for the next 7 days, and quick links to the three things new teachers reach for most.
A sensible order for the rest
Once the two steps are done, this order gets you to a class students can actually join:
- Add a profile photo and a short description — students trust a face
- Claim your personal link so you have something to paste into WhatsApp
- Schedule your first few sessions
- Upload one or two materials so the class isn't empty on day one
- Request the Verified badge — review takes a few days, so start it early
None of these are required to take your first enrolment. They just make it far more likely.
