Pros

Recruiting new students if you are a new teacher in the area. Collect five lessons package tuition in advance.

Cons

No benefits for contractor (teachers), charged 40% from the first 1~5 lessons and break down to 10% until the 20th lesson!!!! Be aware, most students who look for teachers from Takelessons usually don't stay for more than 3 months, some even only had 3 lessons due to TLs offer charged trial lesson for new students in order to get their money! This company is very suspicious about teachers stealing students or potentional clients. For teachers you may think TLs is a good way to advertise yourself, but keep in mind they will close your profile without awareness all depends on they suspect you steal students. TLs expect teacher will retain students for more than three months and once you lose students they will blamed on you and shot down you profile! They rarely bring you new students but lots of Q&A which teachers have to answer by ourselves. (So where is the customer service????) About background check, it's all lie, they charged teacher a $20 for background check and immediately put on a parent trust local next to your profile. So, what's it for?

Pros

Students can find you and leave you reviews on your profile.

Cons

TakeLessons takes a HUGE cut of lessons, and never stops taking that cut no matter how long you teach each student. They chastise you if life happens and you need to decline a student.
