"This is a great platform for independent CFI's looking for work using their skills and knowledge. It's easy to schedule meetings and provide your students with help in the specific areas they're struggling in.
I created a customized training for a student starting from ground zero, and I've met with other students who needed specific help or just some extra tutoring. Skyfarer Academy is great for both situations and very flexible and accommodating for instructors! The extra support from the founders and other instructors has also been a major bonus for me!"
- Kelly, flight instructor

Join the WaitlistYour Questions Answered
How do I receive inquiries and bookings?
You’ll be notified via text and email when a student inquires about your services. You can respond and confirm bookings through the platform.
Can I set my own rates?
Yes! Instructors have full control over pricing. You can adjust rates based on training type and demand.
How do I get paid?
It's free to list instructor profile and training pages. We take a small platform fee (5% per in-person booking) to cover administrative support and payment processing, so we only get paid when we succeed in bringing you students.
Payouts will occur via Stripe within 24-48 hours of the session/course completed. From that point, it takes Stripe anywhere between 5 to 10 business days to transfer the money to the instructor's bank account.
Can I modify my instructor page later?
You can update your page, availability and pricing at any time.
Is Skyfarer Academy a flight school?
No, we are not a flight school. Skyfarer Academy is a platform that connects skilled instructors with motivated students for virtual and in-person pilot training.
How do you streamline my training business?
We want the heavy parts of running your training business to be handled - customer acquisition, support, and admin tasks.
Our team manages communication with students for sessions and courses—so you can concentrate on delivering exceptional flight training.
What benefits does this really present me?
There's no charge to join, no lead fees, and no membership fees. We provide a new flexible way to grow your instruction services.
You gain access to a wider audience, receive secure payments, teach on your own terms, and chat freely with students before booking, or take the students outside of the platform—all with minimal overhead.
Can I offer both in-person and online flight instruction?
Yes! Many instructors provide a mix of in-person and live online instruction to better serve students. Offering online instruction can help you reach students nationwide and supplement your income.
