ClassDojo Reviews 63

Received a notification that Class Dojo took 59.99 USD from my bank account!!!!!!! I only needed this application for my son who was in nursery school last year. I don’t see any reason why you want me to pay for something that I am no longer using ! Please give me my money back.

I want refund !!!!

I received a link to sign up and I was under the impression it was free. Supposedly a central place all parents can go to see pictures of their kids at school so I assumed something like Whatsapp.

After giving my personal details (something I only do to trusted companies and based on it being about my sons school, I guessed I could) I then hit the payment request which was about £6-7 a month. HELL NO, get me out of here so I cancelled the whole sign up thing. Over 6 weeks later I am still getting emails to confirm my address.

The class dojo app told me that I needed to pay to use it. Didn't realize it would be a lump sum of $70. I'm not even entirely sure how to navigate the app itself.

want to get a refund for class dojo I didn’t give my permission to Authorize a payment for $69.99. I only want the basic class dojo (free) !
My bank account was overdraft plus fee’s . Customer service is non responsible . Chase bank won’t refund me the money .
I should not have to pay to communicate with my son’s kindergarten teacher in public school.
I want refund !!!!

Paid for class and the teacher did not show up on zoom, also emailed them about it, they asked me to reschedule and then no more responses from them. Truly disappointing.

Update : A second class was rescheduled for me which they then also canceled by email .

This is the worst form of communication. The paid part pops up a lot , notifications are not reliable and truly wish our school wouldn't use it.. hate it!!!

They made me do actual work. Not good. Has picked me first for presentations many times. boooo :(

As a highly qualified retired teacher, I was denied moving forward after the video interview. When I responded of not being accepted, I received a very belittling, insulting comments. I believe the real denial was because I did not fit their profile. I was judge as being " low and monotonous", but I taught for years and still in the classroom as a substitute, and I am in high demand.
Whoever chose the words they used to describe my interview could not have ever been an educator, I am retired and that comment has been the MOST insulting comment ever told to me as an educator.
Unless you want to be put down without them ever having a reference about you, and knowing your true character, do not apply .

Well i just started using it as a student and as a parent making my own account and its great I don't have to pay and no do you want this do you want this. its great!

I have been tutoring with Dojo Tutor for 8 months now and I truly love it! It rekindles the flame of passion I have for teaching, but it allows me to work one-on-one with students, which was not possible in the classroom. This allows me to attend to that individual student's immediate needs without any distractions. I feel that this experience is also quite valuable to the student as well. Personally, I have really enjoyed my time with Dojo Tutor and hope to continue growing upward in the company!

for me as mamy i recommended , very easy to use and allow me to check my baby at school

So I didn’t want the Plus account version which I inadvertently pressed and paid for. Thought there was going to be one of those epic endless battles to get a refund, but no. Sent an email and a few minutes later a full refund was on its way.

Speaking from a tutor’s perspective, Dojo is a great team to work with. We get to focus on 1:1 teaching and are given the autonomy to design our lessons to suit each individual child. Dojo offers plenty of optional resources that we may use while respecting our teacher judgement and creativity. The pay is prompt and transparent. The community of teachers is friendly and helpful. The flexibility of a 1099 position means we can tutor alongside other commitments. It’s taken a lot of stress away not to worry about grading or other admin tasks. Dojo assigns us our students, so although we can advertise to recruit more, we don’t have to.

ClassDojo Tutor is a fantastic platform for educators! I love the flexibility of setting my own hours, and it’s a great way to keep my teaching skills sharp. The best part is the supportive community—there’s always someone ready to help you at the drop of a hat. Highly recommend for teachers looking to tutor on their own schedule!

I love ClassDojo! I used it for 8 years when I was a classroom teacher and it was amazing! I also LOVE Dojo Islands. My students always had so much fun creating and collaborating together when using Dojo Islands. I've been working as a Dojo tutor for almost two years and its been an amazing experience so far. I love the relationships I built with my students and its great how I can teach at the comfort of my own home. ClassDojo is amazing all around!

I have taught for almost a half century and this company's onboarding process and pay scale is an insult to those of us who are masters at our craft. Class Dojo only pays $7.50 for a trial class. Few if any parents sign up for a subscription after the trial class even if they LOVE the teacher and class because in order to receive an hour of instruction (recommended for middle school aged students) it is very costly, out of which the teacher only receives $30. My only paycheck after two months of onboarding and work was $30. Management does not answer emails and disrespects their teachers during their Zoom "training" sessions by ignoring questions posted in the chat.

However, after this review was posted management did reach out to me personally and it was apparent they really do care about the experiences of their teacher tutors and listened intently to my suggestions.

Very pissed off with this app… I paid for a year subscription for the plus and my account does not reflect the changed. It’s impossible to get help and I am unable to get a refund… I just wanted help but it’s damn near impossible

ClassDojo has been a phenomenal app to help me grow as an educator! Their developers and employees are on a mission to make every child's education equitable and obtainable. In addition, CD is the only app that I have found to bridge the gap in my classroom community. See why below!

1) Translation - There's hundreds of languages that translate and streamline communication!

2) Virtual Tutoring- Dojo Tutor lets me pair students and families together so they can continue the learning at home!

3) Community - Every voice is taken into account; everyone is heard!

I've used Class Dojo in my classroom for so long now I can't even remember when I started. It's part of my back-to-school plan every year. With busy parents and so many forms of communication, it's nice to have one central hub for everything classroom and parent-related.

I use the points system as part of my classroom management system, and the kids go wild for it! Even my 5th graders get excited to hear the "ding" knowing someone got a point. (I don't take points away in my classroom).

I love that I can easily share pictures, documents, and assignments, and they can do the same with me. It all stays in one location, and it's easy to search for information when I need it.

I share my class with all the staff members they work with daily so everyone can access parents' contacts, behavior contracts, notes, and the same classroom management program. (consistency is key!)

And the best part for me as a busy teacher is my admin can access all of my parent contacts and notes. Having them in the loop cuts down on interruptions during my lessons and can also be used as part of my teaching evaluation.

If you're a teacher and not using Class Dojo, what are you doing?

I use ClassDojo daily in my classroom, and it has become an indispensable tool for both student engagement and parent communication. One of the standout features is the Portfolios, which allow students to showcase their work and progress. Parents love being able to see their child's achievements and activities in real time, making engagement seamless and meaningful.

The kids are particularly enthusiastic about playing on Dojo Island. The challenges are not only fun but educational. Recently, we completed a math lesson on rectangular arrays in the build zone, and the interactive platform made the concept much easier for the students to grasp.

ClassDojo has significantly enhanced the learning experience in my classroom. It keeps students motivated and parents involved, making it a crucial part of our daily routine. Highly recommended!
