Outschool Reviews 

The platform offers amazing opportunities for my children from the comfort of home and the educators are always kind, patient, engaging and knowledgeable in their respective fields.

My daughter has taken 3 classes for high school credit in sciences. It is easily accessible, keeps her interest, and is an all in one for course and grading. We would definitely recommend.

Not Homeschooling Friendly.

I registered my daughter for a time that works well with our schedule as homeschoolers. However, we keep getting pushed back bc there aren't enough students in the class.

The move to subscription ruined it for us ....

I loved you guys and used you for years until you decided to make it a subscription service. A lot of people don't have the financial resources to commit to an ongoing payment, so the previous opportunity to simply pay for the course you wanted was perfect.

Love outschool for supplemental lessons for my homeschooled children! My daughter has been doing a reading class for 30 minutes 3x a week and is improving much more than I was anticipating! I'm so impressed by the patience of the teacher and really enjoy the extra practice worksheets she gives us to work on throughout the week. We will definitely be trying more classes in the future.

Our experience with the assessment that was conducted with Paula was great. My son expressed that he appreciated her patience through out the entire process. She was very compassionate when he struggled and did not pressure him to go beyond his limits. My son is an older child and he thought he may feel judged but was relieved to receive the complete opposite treatment. The assessment was helpful in assisting us to determine the help he needed. We highly recommend this service to any parent that has a child who is struggling to read and spell. Thank you Paula.

Great class. We are a continuing student. Really enjoy it!

I Love all our outschool teachers. I don't love the new subscription way of going about paying. I liked the old much better, knowing exactly how much I was paying for each class, not buying coins through the subscription to pay for classes. This isn’t minecraft. This is my children's school classes they love and this just makes it not as transparent. All of our teachers don't like it either. So please go back to other way.

Outschool is fantastic.
Teacher Ashley is an excellent teacher.
My daughters look forward to their classes on Outschool. And her teaching is runs concurrent to what they are learning in school. Their interaction has improved greatly since they started with Teacher Ashley.

The teacher is very engaging with the students. The only draw back is that since it is online and with younger kids, they do spend a decent amount of time waiting for their turn instead of practicing. It is too much for the kids to navigate a break out session or working with just one other kid.

Outschool offers some great classes and teachers, but their billing support can be frustrating. When there are issues with charges, it can take a long time to get a clear response or resolution from customer service. I hope they improve their support and billing process so families can have a smoother experience.

If your payment has a problem on a class you don't give the family time to fix it. You don't even give a day or two to fix it. No everyone can check their email everyday. You kick the kid out of their class.

My family enjoys the classes and the variety of classes. I’d much prefer not to deal with credits and just pay for classes as we schedule them. The credit system seems unnecessary.

Our instructor had effective communication skills both with students and the adults. We spoke via email twice before the presentation to accommodate scheduling and class set up. His manners with the students showed skill, preparation, and congeniality. He met their needs and extended their learning. Great teacher, professional, knowledgeable, engaging presentation.

I used to really love Outschool, but the new membership system has been a very disappointing change for families like mine.

Before, parents could simply pay for the classes they wanted, which made it much easier to budget. Now, the $40 membership only gives 80 credits, while many tutoring classes cost 60 or more credits each. That often leads to additional charges being taken from a parent’s account unexpectedly.

As a single mom in this economy, budgeting matters a lot. What made the situation even more frustrating is what happened when I canceled my membership. I still had 20 credits left that I had already paid for, but because I canceled, I can’t use them unless I start another membership.

That means I lost money I had already paid, simply because I couldn’t afford to keep the membership going. That doesn’t feel fair to families who are trying to manage their finances responsibly. I feel cheated, honestly.

Because of this experience, I unfortunately won’t be using Outschool again.

Very engaging and interactive lessons offered online. Love it!!

I don't like the new subscription billing system and it makes me less likely to use the platform. It's very to track when/if I will be charged. I just want to pay for classes taken and not obligated beyond that. Please change it back to the old system.

Customer service is horrible. They are charging my school for a time we are not even using. My son is on spring break and when I requested that the class he was enrolled in could start a week later they refused. So now we are losing a week of classes because my son is on spring break.

Great experience thus far and we've been using Outschool since covid started in 2020!
