The Outschool headquarters are in San Francisco, USA, while they teach over 1 million children from pre-Kindergarten to High School level (ages 3-18 years) all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Outschool teaching is not limited to English\/ESL or other languages, and classes can be delivered on any topic you are passionate about and are experienced in. All curricula and lesson materials are thus designed by the teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-are-outschool-classes\">How Long Are Outschool Classes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There is no set length to an Outschool class, it can be as short or long as you want to make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-platform-does-outschool-use\">What Platform Does Outschool Use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Outschool online teaching<\/strong> is delivered via <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-outschool-classes-recorded\">Are Outschool Classes Recorded?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Classes are recorded for teachers to be able to review and improve their Outschool tutoring, for parents to be able to check on their child&#8217;s progress, for teacher coaching, customer support, and compliance purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-does-outschool-pay\">How Much Does Outschool Pay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As a <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/category\/teacher-marketplaces\/\">marketplace<\/a>, the Outschool salary is determined by what the teachers wish to charge for their classes. The company typically suggests setting your <strong>Outschool teacher pay rate <\/strong>for each learner at around $10-15 per hour. However the average <strong>Outschool teacher salary<\/strong> turns out to be much higher (according to the company), at $50 per hour, as multiple students may sign up for a class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Another characteristic of being a <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/category\/teacher-marketplaces\/\">teacher marketplace<\/a>, is that the company deducts a 30% commission from<strong> <\/strong>any Outschool income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-get-paid-on-outschool\">How Do You Get Paid on Outschool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Outschool teachers are paid via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PayPal<\/a>, after adding their linked email address to their Teacher Profile under &#8216;Payout email&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-often-does-outschool-pay\">How Often Does Outschool Pay?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The regularity of Outschool payments depends on the number and type of classes you offer, but it is possible to be paid weekly each Sunday. The company pays the full amount 7-10 days after the start date for fixed-duration classes, or on the next Sunday 2 weeks following any ongoing classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outschool-schedule\">Outschool Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As Outschool is a <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/category\/teacher-marketplaces\/\">marketplace<\/a>, they have no fixed schedule or minimum\/maximum hours that a teacher must commit to. Outschool tutors are free to set their own class times and, as their student base is global, this can be at any point in the day or night (though it is worth factoring in the time zone of your primary audience). The company does, however, suggest that afternoon and evening classes fare better than the middle of the day (though there are some homeschool students and holiday periods), with the optimum being weekdays between 4-6pm (Pacific Time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Outschool advises using standalone and short-form introductory classes (meeting 1-4 times) to reach new learners, build your reputation and attract reviews more quickly, whilst offering longer semester-long classes to allow students to engage more deeply in the topics you deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A sizeable number of Outschool teachers have complained about their difficulties in attracting bookings, illustrated in this sample from an extensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/3416516978437925\/permalink\/4631920603564217\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook teachers&#8217; group thread<\/a> (there were more comments than could be fitted in the screenshot!): <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"849\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-47.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-47.png 747w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-47-264x300.png 264w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You will likely find that broad, common subjects such as English\/ESL will be too saturated and so, to be successful, research less competitive niches on the platform and offer your own unique angle to them. Outschool provides the following tips to help increase student uptake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Offer something unique<\/strong>. &nbsp;Show your passion for your subject and create classes that you might like to do yourself. &nbsp;If you are offering a common topic, then make it unique by bringing your own approach to the class.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Create high quality listings.<\/strong> The more information that parents have, the more likely they are to enroll. &nbsp;And make it compelling! Pick a title and summary that will catch the interest of parents and learners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Build a following. <\/strong>&nbsp;Deliver a great learning experience. Ask your parents to leave reviews and to spread the word about your classes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outschool-cancellation-policy\">Outschool Cancellation Policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If an Outschool teacher cancels, misses, is late or shortens a class meeting, then the affected learner(s) are entitled to a refund from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outschool-no-show-policy\">Outschool No Show Policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A learner is not entitled to a refund if they do not show up to a class meeting. If three consecutive classes are missed without communicating with the teacher, then the learner forfeits the class fee and may be withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outschool-requirements\">Outschool Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The <strong>Outschool teacher requirements<\/strong> do not include any formal qualifications or teaching credentials, but you must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Be at least 18 years old<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Reside full-time in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England or Wales (not other UK countries currently)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Have one or more topics of expertise or passion that you will base your classes around<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Meet Outschool&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/support.outschool.com\/about-outschool\/community-standards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">community standards<\/a>, including prompt, professional communication with families and staff<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Observe Outschool&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/support.outschool.com\/teaching-with-outschool\/getting-started\/class-content-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">class content policy<\/a>, including that classes are secular and objective<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Have a good command of written and spoken English<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Verify your identity and pass a criminal background check<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outschool-technical-requirements\"><strong>Outschool Technical Requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A computer able to run <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a> video conferencing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">A fast and reliable internet connection with over 3Mbps upload and download speed (you can test your internet speed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedtest.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Technical know-how to effectively run online classes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-become-an-outschool-teacher\">How to Become an Outschool Teacher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are seven main steps to the <strong>Outschool application process<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teach.outschool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Familiarize yourself with the company<\/a> and complete <a href=\"https:\/\/pd.outschool.com\/outschool-101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outschool 101<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/outschool.com\/teach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apply to teach<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/support.outschool.com\/en\/articles\/4705479-teacher-identity-verification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Verify your identity<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Complete your <a href=\"https:\/\/support.outschool.com\/en\/articles\/2701506-educator-background-checks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">background check<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Complete trainings on <a href=\"https:\/\/support.outschool.com\/en\/articles\/753895-class-content-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Class Content Policy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.outschool.com\/en\/articles\/2612466-learner-safety-and-privacy-for-teachers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Safety and Privacy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Complete your <a href=\"https:\/\/support.outschool.com\/en\/articles\/2822959-educator-profile-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public teacher profile<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">List your <a href=\"https:\/\/support.outschool.com\/en\/articles\/2420442-sample-class-listings-for-new-teachers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first class<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The &#8216;Sign up to teach&#8217; link can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/outschool.com\/teach#abkwdm3893\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.

More negative comments mention the time it takes to acquire students, seasonal fluctuations to bookings which have overall slowed combined with teacher saturation, the 30% commission rate, Outschool&#8217;s tendency to side with parents over teachers, and issues with getting some classes approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Here is a recent sample of more-detailed <strong>Outschool reviews from teachers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-52-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-52-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-52-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-52-768x460.png 768w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-52.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"702\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-53-1024x702.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-53-1024x702.png 1024w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-53-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-53-768x527.png 768w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-53.png 1095w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-54-1024x619.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-54-1024x619.png 1024w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-54-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-54-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-54.png 1235w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion-is-outschool-worth-it\">Conclusion &#8211; Is Outschool Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Outschool is one of the more appealing <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/category\/teacher-marketplaces\/\">teacher marketplaces<\/a>, on account of its high teacher satisfaction scores, straightforward application process, and the variety of topics one can offer on the platform. While the 30% commission rate is tough to swallow, it is not out-of-sync with what some <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineteachingreview.com\/amazingtalker-review\/\">rivals<\/a> charge and can be offset if you are able and willing to accept multiple students in a class. Sufficient bookings are difficult to secure by just offering generic ESL, however, so you must be able to develop a unique niche or approach to your classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You can <a href=\"http:\/\/outschool.com\/teach\/apply\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apply to Outschool<strong> <\/strong>here<\/a>.
