About Teaching at Lessonface

Lessonface connects students with great teachers for live lessons and classes online. We recognize that great teachers make Lessonface work and have built a system that supports the best teaching talent. As a Public Benefit Company, a key component of our mission is treating teachers equitably. Equitable treatment is a central tenet of our overall approach, and specifically means that we keep our fees as low as we can so you can keep as much of the tuition as possible, we protect your time with ensured payments for lessons, and we enforce cancellation policies. The lasting relationships we have developed with many great teachers shows how we make good on this intention. We hope you will join us too.
