Like many here, I visited the website to look at pricing and put a lesson package in my cart to see all costs involved.Shocker: there are surprise fees. To do this, I had to put in my email and phone number. Big mistake. They have called me every day since to offer to “help” me complete my purchase.
I could see how one call and message might be “helpful.” But everyday? Ask yourself this - if a company thinks so little of your intelligence and cares so little about pestering you, what else are they willing to do to you? Run fast, run far.

✍From a TakeLessons Teacher point of view-
Reviewed on 2021-04-03T16:47:27
Just a note to inform others who are on the fence with this company that I have been a Teacher for over 25 plus years.Work in private school settings for 20+ yrs. Concerned where I wanted to use a platform to hang my hat that was safe for all parties involved. I searched carefully, details beyond normal and with keen efforts. So I did my homework. And I pulled the trigger with TakeLessons. Very Happy with my deceision. More importantly are the students I am honored to teach. They are the ones that make my job rock. So it's been excellent with students, schedules, Covid concerns, life juggling and helping students succeed on the internet with a subject they have an interest in. As a Teacher I prefer to teach in person. My job is to help them achieve thier goals and build out their wish list. Whether in person or online. Take lessons has helped online in many ways. I do agree on a few issues. A note on billing needs to button up in a easier, friendlier manner. Along with in house features - tools have improved but the support team needs to continue to add more. They have but keep in coming. This is Super helpful for both Teachers and students. All in all I am very pleased with Take lessons. As I end each one of my lesson, I share this always "Don't forget to shine because someone else may need your light."

Terrible

Terrible. I’m a professional musician and I signed up for singing lessons, to brush up.The prices were good and I thought maybe I could do this ongoing. You have to buy lessons up front - I bought 5. So, the teacher didn’t show. No call, no text. No, he wasn’t in an accident. They say they have a $ back guarantee. Ok. So I got another teacher. I had a lesson. It wasn’t bad. The next week, wait for it — HE didn’t show. Also no call or text. Terrible. Now I want my $ back.

I visited their website to see what lessons were offered. It asked me for my email and phone number when I started going through their pricing options.Upon seeing the pricing I decided to hold off on the lessons until next month, but now I will NEVER use this service. I have had two calls and several emails EVERY DAY for TWO WEEKS since I visited the website, all of which have been during work hours so I can't pick up and tell them to leave me alone. And the best part? I'm not technically signed up for an account, so I can't even remove my number from their spam list. They're making new numbers as fast as I can block them. DON'T EVEN GO TO THE WEBSITE.

DONTTT put any information into takelessons website!!!!! I looked 2 days ago and they have called me3 times since then at 7am and 8pm so rude they won't stop the bombardment of emails and calls numerous times a day! Disgusting and rude behavior don't use them
UPDATE: I CANT REPLY TO THEM SO IM REPLYING HERE. HAVING SOMEONE AVAILABLE FOR HELP DURING BUSINESS HOURS IS VERYYYY DIFFERENT FROM HARASSING PEOPLE NUMEROUS TIMES A DAY WHEN THEY HAVE NO QUESTIONS AND HAVE NOT ASKED FOR HELP!

Poor infrastructure

My son has been using TakeLessons for several months now, and while we like the instructor I find that the TakeLessons organization does not add value.
Specifically,the company itself does little after the first introduction other than to take your money. They expect you to go to the teachers directly to sort out any issues, confirm lesson times, etc, yet when the teachers are in China that can lead to lengthy lead times on communication.
I understand the model of the teachers being independent contractors, but if they only want to provide an introduction service then they should be paid once, for the introduction. If they want to take ongoing monthly fees they should provide a service to their clients for that time (and not simply 'we have a website you can use to talk with the teacher' as nearly everyone has Zoom or Microsoft these days.)
My suggestion would be to look around to find an independent contractor. You will pay them a good bit less and receive the same service.

If you are advanced or intermediate…
Reviewed on 2021-01-01T13:25:07
If you are advanced or intermediate this is not the place for you to learn a language because beginner students are mixed with advanced.This prevents advanced students from advancing and what’s worse the classes become boring. Even when you dig up fir an advanced class you’ll see the same people that you see in a beginners class. When you complain the tell you there is nothing the can do about it if the beginner student wants to enter that class. As a result, you can be in a “advanced” class and people don’t even understand a basic question such as: “How are you?” When people don’t even understand this then they have to be told what it is in English and as an advanced student this is not acceptable. Also, they are not all native tutors and some of those tutors could need a tutor themselves. Basically if you want to waste your time and not advance this is the place for you.

Here is my experience: I saw TakeLessons services advertised via a Google Search. I wanted to take Mandarin lessons.I saw on their site that lessons could be taken for $18 per hour. I selected a teacher and e-mailed her only to find out her rates were $46 per hour. I contacted TakeLessons to complain about this, they informed I could take Mandarin lessons for $22 per with another teacher, if I paid upfront I could get a package of 10 of these lessons for $184. So I paid. 10 days went by and I heard nothing from the teacher or TakeLessons. On the 11th day TakeLessons called me to inform me the teacher I selected and paid for was no longer available and they gave me a list of 3 other teachers to chose from. I chose one, contacted her, only to find out her fee was $46 per hour and I would have to pay her.
Sounds Like bait and switch to me, I have requested a full refund and am currently waiting on that refund.
