Did you know that 79% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations? (BrightLocal) Let’s put that in context: When 10 people visit your TakeLessons profile, 8 of them will treat your reviews like a personal recommendation from a mutual friend. That’s powerful!

Some of the most successful TakeLessons teachers take this approach to reviews. Here are their opinions on the power of the review:
