Back to School Student Survey: Why Families Choose Lessonface for Online Lessons
As families head back to school, schedules get busier, extracurricular activities fill the calendar, and finding time for meaningful enrichment can become a challenge. For many Lessonface students and families, online lessons offer a flexible way to keep learning without adding another commute to the week.
From now through September 7, new students who book their first lesson with participating teachers will receive one free lesson of the same duration. There is no additional commitment at the time of booking your first two lessons for half off. It's an excellent time to connect to an inspiring teacher for learning something new!

Lessonface invites music, language, and arts instructors to do exactly that through TeacherFest, a series of free online enrichment sessions designed to support and inspire teachers at every stage of their journey.
