Bad system, good teachers
We love the teachers we have worked with so far but the credit buying system is so dumb. It seems pretty transparent that the main function of credits is to win Outschool extra cash on unredeemed credits. We’re on the hunt for a platform like Outschool without this needlessly complicated payment system.

We appreciate your feedback and are so glad you love the teachers!
We completely understand that this change is an adjustment, especially for families who have been enrolling in classes on a pay-per-class basis.
Our goal with membership is to help families save on enrollments and provide more personalized support in finding the right classes for their learners. We know it is a shift, and while there isn’t an option to add new enrollments on a pay-per-class basis, we are happy to help you explore the membership options and find a plan that fits your family’s needs.
Updated 04/07/2026: Good news! The option to pay per class is back. You can now enroll without the monthly membership.

Outschool have taken a payment from my account after I was assured this would not happen. I signed up for one class for my son, which proved very disappointing - poorly put together and filled with incorrect information, misleading data and an extremely inexperienced "tutor" (actually just pre-recorded lessons which were mostly cut off at random points). I'm unable to contact anybody, it seems, to discuss this... and think I will have to cancel my bank card to prevent money being taken again next month.

Mixed bag with teachers. The whole new system of subscription payment has been annoying.

The membership system with points was extremely confusing and I ended up losing points cause I could not figure out how it should be managed. The classes are good but some teachers are using AI to generate their homework/practice sheets

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Teachers manage their own class enrollments and may cancel a class if there aren’t enough learners enrolled. We are sorry about the class cancellation and any resulting frustration.

A wide range of classes
A wide range of classes, but I would prefer to have the first class in a course as a trial without enrollment, as it can be annoying to enroll, your kid doesn't like it after the first class, and you need to stop enrollment

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you appreciate the variety of classes available on Outschool. We understand how helpful trial classes can be when exploring new courses, and we’ll be sure to share your suggestion with our team. Your input helps us continue improving the Outschool experience.

My son looks forward to his art class each week and is coming away with a surprising number of new skillls every time. His teacher, Rory, understands how to work with kids with learning differences and ADHD. Rory is an excellent communicator. We receive a welcoming note on how to prepare for each class, and each class is followed by a summary of what's been covered. This is so helpful for parents, especially homeschooling parents. We're so grateful for the structure, the delivery, the teaching aptitude and ability to connect, the whole thing!

I wish the subscription option is a way to buy credits that can be used whenever the family need. The current subscription option is too aggressive. It is difficult to keep up with children's busy schedules.

Also, unused credits can accumulate with no monthly or overall cap while your membership is active. If you cancel, any remaining credits will move to an inactive balance. They’ll stay visible but locked until you rejoin a plan, at which point they become active again.

Disappointed on the subscription I forced to pay and will lose it all if I cancel. The old way was waaaay more customer friendly. You’re just like the rest of them with corporate greed!
UPDATE: so now that you’ve changed how you do things, what happens when I cancel the subscription? I still lose all that money towards classes.

Please know that any credits you don’t use will roll over to the next month (while your membership is active). If you cancel, your remaining credits will move into an inactive balance at the end of your billing period. You’ll still see them in your account, and they’ll unlock automatically if you decide to rejoin.

I do not like the new financial structure at all. When pausing your class, you still get charged as I was this past Sunday.
EDIT: Edit to add that Outschool just said I do not get charged during a pause or stop period, yet I PAUSED my account until March 15th and WAS CHARGED during the PAUSE period. It is a lie!

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience.
Please know that Outschool will bill you each week that you are enrolled in a Recurring Weekly Class, but you can pause or stop your enrollment at any time.
You won’t be charged during the pause period, but your seat in the class isn’t held. If a seat remains available, then your payments and full access will resume at the end of the pause period.

It’s tough to navigate with the subscription program.
It’s tough to navigate with all the credit and weekly rolling payments. There is a lot of frustration and confusion in finding a tutor and meeting schedules under this new format . Often a tutor isn’t available for weeks and I need to wait. In the past the process was so easy and amazing. It was easy to find a qualified tutor when needed
