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
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.

Unauthorized charges!
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…
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 !

Auto Charge for Alleged "Exact Match" Lead I Did Not Authorize, Company Fails to Respond to Support Message
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…
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
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.
