Teach live in small rooms where students pay per minute and you get paid the second the call ends.
A retired engineer wants to mentor without platforms taking 30 percent. Office Hours streams USDC per minute during calls and issues attendance proofs both sides keep.
Anyone with hard-won experience can teach a small room tonight and be paid fairly, by the minute, the moment the call ends.
Retired engineers, nurses, teachers and tradespeople have decades of know-how and students who want it, but tutoring platforms take a large cut, pay out monthly, and charge students for whole blocks of time they do not use.
Office Hours lets you teach and mentor in small rooms where students pay per minute in USDC and you are paid the moment the call ends. Mentoring platforms keep around 30 percent and own your student list; on your own Office Hours the rate, the students and every attendance proof are yours. Your experience becomes a direct income stream under your own name.
10 paid sessions completed and at least $300 received in your wallet.
Two applications to stablecoin or creator economy programs with live volume figures.

One submission to a payments or stablecoin track with a new feature built during the event.
All advice calls routed through your booking link for one month.
Five members of your community running paid office hours for others.
One partner sending students to your office hours each month.
A public page with 25 or more session proofs linked from your CV.
Three paying clients running Office Hours you set up.
Maybe not at first, and that is normal. Start with one narrow topic you have solved for yourself, like getting a first engineering job, and a low rate. Ten minutes at a dollar a minute is an easy yes for someone who is stuck.
Many will not. Send them a short guide to getting USDC on Base through a wallet with card top-up, and keep the first session short so the setup feels worth it. Over time, focus on audiences who already hold stablecoins.
You set a rate, connect your calendar and share a booking link. The video room, metering and payout are built in. DEPLOYR ships it configured.
Yes. Payments settle to your wallet and the session proofs are issued from your contract. You can move your students to any frontend later.
Probably, like any income. Keep the session records Office Hours gives you and ask a local accountant how stablecoin income is treated where you live.
