Volunteer roleCertificate of Participation + social recognition

01 — Who this is for

Who we're looking for

Resurchin tutors are experienced researchers, graduate students, or professionals with a track record of doing real research in their field. You don't have to be famous — you have to be rigorous, care about the process, and be willing to teach it honestly.

  • PhD candidates and postdocs
  • Industry researchers and R&D leads
  • Faculty and lecturers
  • Independent researchers with published work

02 — Your syllabus

What you'll teach

You design and teach a syllabus in the area you know deeply — your field, your methodology, your research process. Resurchin gives you the structure; you bring the expertise.

Every syllabus on Resurchin follows the same shape:

  • Video segments with transcripts — short, focused lessons
  • Quizzes at the end of each segment to check understanding
  • A guided capstone project where learners apply the methodology
  • Your review and feedback on that capstone before certification

03 — Standards

What we hold you to

  • Rigor over shortcuts

    Teach the process, not the output. Learners should understand why a step matters, not just how to produce it.

  • Field-honest content

    Represent your discipline accurately. Cite sources. Distinguish established methodology from your own opinion.

  • Original material

    The content you upload should be yours, or properly attributed. No lifted lectures.

  • Timely capstone review

    Aim to review learner capstones within two weeks so they aren't stuck waiting to be certified.

  • Respectful feedback

    Learners are here to learn. Feedback should be direct, specific, and kind.

04 — Recognition

What you get in return

Tutoring on Resurchin is a volunteer role. There is no salary. What you get instead:

  • A Certificate of Participation as a Resurchin tutor
  • A public tutor profile with your syllabus and learners
  • Recognition across Resurchin's channels and community
  • Direct impact on students building real research skill

05 — How to join

Getting on the platform

For v1, new tutors are added manually so the founding cohort stays small and high-signal. If that sounds like you, join the tutor waitlist and share a little about your research background — we'll reach out.
