Tip: Please do not mark the message as spam through your inbox or your email provider (ie: Gmail or Hotmail) as this will block other student questions from getting to you!

Keep your account safe

Use your best judgment when answering questions from students.

Unfortunately, the internet has lots of scammers who would love to get a hold of your personal information, and that’s something we work very hard to prevent. If you think a question is suspicious in any way, report it. We’ll take it from there.

If someone is trying to get you to work with them off the TakeLessons platform or offering you other services. You should decline conducting any business with them, and we ask that you report it to us right away. Remember: when you report a message as spam using the above methods, you won’t need to reply to the question, and your response time won't be reduced.
