Lessons.com Reviews 

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

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.

Lessons.com charged me for two direct leads without me accepting the lead. They don't have a phone # and there was no response to my email. I'm having my credit card company deal with them.

I was contacting just one instructor and put the NO checkmark on the other instructors some I used in the past and didn't want them to know I was looking for another instructor. But your site put my name out to people I didn't want to without my permission and now I'm getting all these unwanted E-Mails and from instructors I didn't want to know. You don't put somones information out like that without my permission !!! Not Happy about this !

I am a Flamenco Guitar Instructor. I created a Teacher Profile on Lessons.com during early 2024. Since then I have gotten Leads which are not a match, nor are they nearby. Since Lessons.com wants to charge a fee of $20+ to Message the potential student, I have "Passed" on all Leads which seem to not be focused on what I teach. Today, 9/15/24, I received a notice from my Credit Card on file with Lessons.com that I was Auto Charged for an "Exact Match" Lead. In fact, I was charged before the description of the Lead came in on my phone and before receiving an email regarding this Lead. 1) I found that my Password did not work, and had to create a new Password. 2) When I got into Lessons.com, the Lead was not an "Exact Match," it was for Jazz and Classical. Flamenco is NOT Classical style. 3) I found that an Auto Pay Option for "Exact Match" Leads was switched On. I did NOT do this. I have Messaged Lessons.com, both through their Support Contact and through FaceBook Messenger, about this incident, and received no Response. They allege they will respond in a few hours. Additionally, info Posted in one of their Responses to a client complaining in August 2024, that there is no way to Remove a Credit Card or Delete an Account references a Button or Box on Settings:Account which DOES NOT exist. In their Privacy Agreement, there is a vague reference under Accessing and Updating Your Information that you can "log in to the site where you are registered and navigate to your account." - No more! If you look at the Reviews on this BBB Site you will sell the Rating is 2 Stars. If you check Reddit you will find nothing but accusations of Lessons.com as a "scam." If you check Trust Pilot you will see 82% Ratings of only 1 Star, and more accusations and complaints. I am going to Block the Charge with my bank's credit card. The only Option that exists on Lessons.com to delete the Account is to "Hide Business Temporarily."

This is a scam to charge your bank account. The leads are clearly phony. I got a large check for an about 15 phony leads in. I was then quickly solicited to sign up for a more expensive package. I was suspicious. As I thought, the check bounced within a few days. When I complained to their no-contact support, they knew who it was who wrote the check. And I didn’t tell them. = one and the same. There is no way to cancel the account on their portal either and they have denied my request to cancel. I had to cancel my credit card to stop them from further charges. They also behave like narcissists. Like they are on a different planet. Don’t use this place. It is clearly a scam operation. Too bad, the idea could have been good if they were legitimate.

Lessons.com is indeed a scam. I have had a few issues partnering with this company.
The latest issue which led me to deactivate my account - for a second and final time - is the fact that Manuel, my CSR lied continuously regarding my refund. I requested a refund for a particular lead that lived out of state who did not want online lessons. The prospect sent me a text confirming she was not interested in lessons - per Manuel's instructions, I sent him a screenshot for proof. He then asked me to send a screenshot showing her number.
I sent him EXACTLY what he requested a total of 6 times - 6 different emails over 2 weeks. Well guess what...I still haven't received my refund 2 months later! Manuel acted as if he had not received any of my attachments of the screenshot. He repeatedly responded with statements such as, "Did you get my email?" or "I haven't received the screenshot!" or some other foolishness. After sending the same email 6 times to the email address he specified...I asked Manuel to permanently delete my account. It was becoming clear as crystal that Manuel was playing games. To what end? Not sure. Well somehow he received my account deletion request (go figure!) and he responded with - "We have completed your request, your account has been deactivated. Please consider us in the future. Simply reactivate your account to use our services. Have a nice day!
HUH?! What in the gaslighting bafoonery is going on here?!! I've been through too much and have come to far in my healing to be abused by ANY entity let alone a dead entity (corporation)
Uh ..No thank you! I'll just consider this a $23 lesson for the future.
Instructors, please know that you will be paying $23 per lead. Lessons.com does not vet any of these leads. The sad part is that prospective clients are literally pushed to reach out to 5 or more teachers - even if the prospect is 100% sure of the instructor they want. They have a good thing going...5 or more teachers all paying a non refundable $23 per prospective student who is already overwhelmed with so many choices! $23 bucks per lead for clients that will most likely go for the most economical instructor versus the most qualified and from my experience the majority of the leads are not serious, long term clients.
Serious teachers looking for serious clients....save your energy, your money, your time and mental health by AVOIDING LESSONS.COM like the plague!!!! They are a warm mess. Zero integrity, zero care for their teachers nor prospects.

If I could rate this as less than a one, I would, this is a total scam! A supposed Coach texted me and said I needed to pay him $500 for private lessons. No way affiliated with this place I called today and they had no idea who this person was. Please do not buy into this. Do not send anyone money. It is the biggest scam ever.

Lessons.com seems surprisingly similar in many ways to Thumbtack.com, which leads me to believe they are one and the same. I had one solid connection through lessons.com and being I receive leads so infrequently I tend to forget till a lead comes through. So infrequent that leads that have come in lately go like this...I look at the request and attempt to respond but lessons.com stops me (after they debit my account from a running balance) saying I must add a current credit card. So lessons.com won't give me access to the possible client info even though they have my money unless I allow them continued access to more of my money. Not allowing me to connect with a possible client after I paid appears illegal. They have my money. They deduct money from my balance and don't allow me access. I'm writing the state attorney's general office of consumer affairs and the Better Business Bureau and will let them decide how money I already spent is handled. I'm on a mission now to keep this company accountable, which seems far off track.
