Outschool

For parents looking for a live engaging class in small groups. Outschool offers different live classes that can be taken by students all by themselves. They offer a lot of different programs, depending on the needs students had. The creators wanted to have a platform for students to have access to live classes with a small number of students where they can have live feedback and mentor-ship through the process. Outschool has a menu where parents and students can choose the topic they are interested in. Depending on the topic/subject and age, different live classes are offered with concrete starting times. For the live sessions students’ will need a computer/tablet and a good internet connection. The platform has great content, teachers, and allows live interactions with students around the world. The variety of classes, lengths and dates is one of the most attractive features. Some users that had experienced technical problems -sound, quality of image, and had received a slow response from the platform.
