“Before Lessonspace, I actively thought to myself, I wish there were a way of sending animated confetti (like a text message can send) when my student finishes a big project, so we can celebrate together. And then I arrived in Lessonspace and found confetti AND fireworks, both of which I use excessively when my students succeed.”

Cons

“Tutoring companies such as mine, subscribe to the platform to deliver our product - teaching students. If something isn't working, we cannot do business.”

Suzanne A.

Owner

“Moreover, sometimes I have a "bug" where the text disappears (that I or the student wrote) and there's no way of using the reverse option to get it back, so for it to come back and fix the issue I have to share my screen and unshare it and then it appears.”

Veronika M.

Tutor

“Even when turning the phone sideways, when still sees a very limited view – there doesn't seem to be a fullscreen option from the learners side.”
