The site was easy to use and I found a teacher who I like

Carl did a great job. He definitely covered a lot of ground. I left the lesson with some new techniques to practice.

Loved working with Hannah and will keep her in mind for the next audition! I've had so many bad ones lately and I asked her what I was doing wrong, which turns out to not be an issue! She had great suggestions as to what to do in the future as well.

It was very convenient to send the same msg to different organizations through your website. Lessons.com has an amazing setup for people searching for places to do different courses.

This app made it easy to locate an instructor. This survey appeared immediately after contact and before first lesson.
An accurate review is premature at this time.

I teach ukulele and signed up for ukulele leads. At first, it went okay. Not great but not bad. I got some leads but not a ton. I got more leads just teaching and word of mouth in my area. Then, in June of 2023, all the sudden I started getting guitar leads. Not helpful since I don’t teach guitar. I contacted them within a week and at first I was told it was a glitch and they were working on it. I continued to get guitar leads and ZERO ukulele leads. I contacted them over the course of a year and a half probably four or five times so, I was pretty patient, obviously, but also persistent in making an effort to get it resolved. The other day, I got another guitar lead and, since it’s going to be two full years of this nonsense in a few months, I’ve had it. Obviously they don’t care. I just want my $30.06 that they hold for my “credits” to open the leads I’m not getting. They just tell me to ignore irrelevant leads when THAT’S ALL I GET and sometimes they just don’t respond at all.

PLEASE do not get screwed the way, clearly, a lot of us have. I wish I had thought to check Trustpilot before they got any of my money.

I have screenshots of all of my communications though I don’t see a way to post them here.

Makes the learning easy and very personable. Very nice and listens to what could help you become a better player. Keep you interested in the learning process.

I purchased a gift certificate for a Christmas gift so other than the experience of searching and finding I can’t critique the instructor. It’ll be up to the recipient.
I do appreciate the site.

I am surprised to read the reviews about Lessons.com. I have been using this service for quite a while. With some exceptions, leads are usually for what I offer. If a prospective student does not respond to my message within a few days, I get a refund without any problems. Last I looked, my leads cost $8.35. Unless I'm not looking in the right place... I contact customer support and always get a reply within 24/48 hours. They've been helpful and courteous. If you clarify in your Profile what services you offer, more than often you will get interested parties in those same services and locations. Again, there are few exceptions because their list of services could be improved. Yes, I preferred the previous set up where one would buy a package and every lead would cost much less, also subject to refund. Lessons.com follows the lead of Thumback.com, I believe.

Made it very easy to find a tennis pro in my area.

Chris is easily one of my favorite people to learn from and be coached by. It’s not everyday you come across a golf pro at his professional skill level who is down to earth enough to actually make you look forward to your practice days in his training facility as well as the ability to bring his Mobile facility to you or train and entertain at your events! We can’t thank him enough!!

Correct. This is a waste of valuable time and money for an educator. To see a 'marketing' business play 'middle man' then take advantage of unsuspecting educators that don't see what they are doing yet because of heresay and sterotypes. I ALMOST. 'Almost bought into it.' Then as soon as the screen pops up saying I 'pay' someone that is seeking educational one on one study time to grow leaps and bounds from my whole life's experiences, study,and work-- sacrificing my God given time for the most beautiful art in the world to pay others at least 35$ before we even have a lesson from a student who isn't even sure yet? So when I saw the radius circle and the HUGE margin of error statistically for their own benefit I can logically make ONE logical deduction with two clear points made known to me based off my understanding of music, education, and the humanity of relationship.
1.) They are not even close to being trained in music, or music education,
or a highly studied or skilled music performance major, masters or like our friend said earlier, his Doctorates in the Musical Arts like most of my friends and professors have. They would never pay money for anything like this. performance art.
2.) The way it is laid out is completely 100% business related with maybe a 4.73-6.21% chance of understanding 'that' much about this highly developmental study that increases human living, understanding and the whole of humanity. And I'm not even being cruel, just being honest. The evidence is layed out once you get to radius circle to determine how far you are willing to allow the customer drive before you pay out of pocket for them to come to 'their' personal lesson. But sadly here is the kicker. They don't wait for the drive. If the customer who is interested in you as a teacher 'responds' to you in a message, and they tell you this; they automatically pull the 24.95 from your account.

So. NOPE. The professor and others who shared the same experience are exactly right. I pray this helps other musicians, I promise you are worth more than you know. Beethoven very much understood this. Most of us do to. Except for business majors.

AMAZING, AFTER PUBLISHING THIS, I JUST REALIZED IT'S BEETHOVEN'S BDAY. Hey. And thats in my memory for life. I can assure you that lessons.com does NOT get grateful and excited for such an incredibly prodigious genius as I do. Let alone remember his or Mozart's on a yearto year basis.

Enjoy Today and LIVE life as what music brings to everyone! No need to have a finite human company embue you with a worthless fear. As musicians, I promise you. Without a doubt. The ones that understand in higher education and the work we do daily, you are priceless beyond understanding.

I am a Pro - hold a D.M.A. degree in music (voice). Yet - Lessons.com just charged me for a lead BEFORE I had a chance to read the potential student's bio. I rejected this student, but still have to pay $13.38 for the lead. No, thank you. I don't need this kind of underhanded business tactic.

Eryc was ideal. He was patient with me and I appreciated the fact that he was happy to deal with my complete lack of experience.
He endured a newbie with grace and humor.
I look forward to continuing with my lessons.

I really have not started yet but will be having my first lesson coming up soon. So, as of now I'm not able to make a comment

He is very patient, he has a very good teaching technique, he is very dedicated to the students, quite respectful, and in the next class he reviews what was seen previously. Perfect to recommend.

yeah, what everyone else is saying. Complete scam. Should be shut down. I didn't realize until today that they're just charging me for any lead they decide to send whether or not I want it or respond to it. It's just taking advantage of people. Don't use this service!!

Wish i could give them zero reviews. They do nothing andf get you no students and when you try to cancel account you need to contact them to do it and guess what?! They charge you $50 to close your account. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM.

This website is a scam. They will take your money and won’t help you. The lead is sucks. No guarantee will be hired for the job. Total waste of my time and money. Please don’t accept any leads from this website. They will take your money.
