TeachX Communities bring Reddit-style threads and a Notion-style editor to every tutoring profile, course, event and membership, so students ask in public, you answer once, and everyone keeps learning in one place.

TeachX Communities: Real Conversations Around Your Teaching

For a long time, teaching online has had a messy side: lessons on one platform, questions on WhatsApp, feedback in DMs, screenshots in random groups, and nothing in one place.

So we decided to fix that.

We’ve just launched TeachX Communities – a built-in place for students and tutors to talk, ask questions, and share ideas directly around your tutoring profile, courses, events, and memberships.

If you’ve ever used Reddit, you’ll recognize the structure: threads, replies, upvotes, downvotes.

If you’ve ever used Notion, you’ll recognize the editor: clean, flexible, and perfect for long, structured answers.

This is our first step towards turning TeachX from “a place where lessons happen” into “a place where learning lives.”




What TeachX Communities Actually Are

TeachX Communities are simple:

Every teaching “thing” on TeachX gets a discussion space.
People can start threads.
Others can reply.
Good posts get upvoted.
Useless ones get downvoted.
Everything is written in a Notion-style editor so you’re not stuck with plain text.

Think of it as having your own Reddit-style board attached to each part of your teaching, but fully integrated into TeachX.

No separate app. No extra logins. No chaos.




Where Communities Show Up

Right now, communities exist in four main places:

1.Your Tutoring Profile A general space for everything related to you as a tutor:
1.Questions before booking
2.Feedback from students
3.“What should I study next?” type discussions
2.Each Course A focused community just for that course:
1.Lesson-specific questions
2.Homework and assignments
3.Extra resources and explanations
3.Each Event or Workshop Perfect for:
1.Pre-event questions (“Do I need prior knowledge?”)
2.Post-event follow-ups (“Can you share the slides?”)
3.Sharing outcomes and notes
4.Each Membership A natural home for your long-term students:
1.Ongoing discussions
2.Accountability threads
3.Check-ins, wins, and struggles

As a tutor, you can create and manage communities across your tutoring page, courses, memberships, and events. Each one becomes its own little world around that specific part of your teaching.




How It Works (In Practice)

Threads (Reddit-style)

Anyone in the community can create a thread.

Examples:

“I’m stuck on Question 4 from Lesson 3”
“Can we go deeper into past papers next week?”
“Share your IELTS speaking practice here”
“Post your weekly progress for this membership”

Each thread keeps one topic contained so conversations don’t collapse into one giant chat.

Replies

Other students – and you, as the tutor – reply under that thread.

Students help students.
You step in with clear explanations.
Everything stays in context.

Instead of answering the same question ten times in ten different chats, you answer once and it’s there for everyone.

Upvotes and Downvotes

We added upvotes and downvotes for a reason:

Helpful answers rise to the top.
Low-quality or irrelevant replies sink.
New students quickly see what’s actually useful.

Over time, your community becomes a filtered, high-signal Q&A around your teaching.

Notion-style Editor

When you write a post or reply, you’ll use an editor that feels closer to Notion than to a basic text box.

You can:

Use headings and subheadings
Add bullet lists or checklists
Break down solutions step by step
Drop in links, resources, references

If you like writing detailed explanations, structured solutions, or mini-guides, this is built for that. You’re not fighting formatting. It gets out of your way and lets you write clearly.




Why We Built This

1. To stop scattering your teaching across ten apps

Right now, a lot of tutors are juggling:

Zoom for lessons
WhatsApp for questions
Email for follow-ups
Random groups for “community”

And none of it is searchable or organized.

TeachX Communities pull that into one place, attached to where the actual teaching happens.

2. To make your time scale

If you teach long enough, you see the same questions over and over.

Instead of:

Answering that question privately
Re-answering it next week
Re-answering it again for the next batch

You answer it once in a thread.

Students can search, read, and learn from it long after you posted it. Your effort compounds instead of disappearing into a chat history.

3. To give your students somewhere to belong

A good course or membership is not just content. It’s:

People sharing progress
People asking honest questions
People seeing that others are struggling with the same things

A community wrapped around your teaching keeps students engaged between lessons and makes them far more likely to stick with you long term.

4. To turn your teaching into an asset

Over time, your community becomes:

A living FAQ
A library of explanations
A record of what students care about

That’s valuable. It tells you what to improve, what to build next, and what actually matters to your audience.




How to Start Using TeachX Communities Today

You don’t have to do anything complicated. Here’s a simple way to start.

1.Post a welcome thread
1.On your tutoring profile community
2.Or in a specific course or membership Introduce what the space is for and invite questions.
2.Create a “Questions & Doubts” thread Tell students: “If you’re stuck, post your question here instead of messaging me privately.”
3.Move repeated questions into public threads The next time a student DMs you something that others might also ask, reply: “Great question. Can you post this in the community so I can answer it there for everyone?”
4.Use it for accountability For memberships or long courses, start a weekly thread: “Post what you completed this week” This alone can change completion rates.
5.Treat good answers as content When you write a detailed explanation, you’re not just supporting a student. You’re slowly building a knowledge base that future students can rely on.



What’s Coming Next

This is version one.

We’ll keep iterating on:

Better ways to highlight important threads
Stronger tools for moderation and organization
Smarter notifications so people don’t miss replies and updates

As with everything on TeachX, we’ll shape this based on how tutors and students actually use it.




Final Thoughts

TeachX Communities are about one simple idea:

You shouldn’t need five different apps just to teach properly and support your students.

Now, your lessons, products, and conversations can live in the same system:

Reddit-style threads for structure
Notion-style editor for clear answers
Communities attached to your tutoring, courses, events, and memberships

If you’re already on TeachX, go to one of your pages, open the community, and start your first thread.

If you’re not on TeachX yet, this is one more reason to stop building your teaching business on scattered chats and start building it on something designed for you.
