For over 18 years, TakeLessons has been an amazing company that has opened doors for teachers in the United States and around the Globe, providing education and amazing opportunities for teachers and students. We received the announcement Friday, August 16th, that TakeLessons is closing its doors for good. The company is based in San Deigo, California, where employees and thousands of teachers have been impacted. When I heard the news, I actually wasn't surprised, yet I was saddened to hear. During the last year, I had not received new students or inquiries from potential students. I did what I could to try to get more students, yet it was not working. I contacted their employees, and they stated my "profile looked amazing, please just give it time." Microsoft bought the company out over a year ago.
There are a lot of emotions, yet I just wanted to thank TakeLessons for the incredible 13-plus years of working with you. TakeLessons opened up doors and opportunities beyond my imagination. Working with various students in-person and online students has been an incredible blessing. I'm overwhelmed in a good way to have been an independent contractor with your company. In the years together. There were moments I would get a bit frustrated, yet moved on quickly to know that I may not agree with everything you do, yet I can still work for you and we always talked it out. That always made my day. You treated me like royalty and I truly appreciate all you have done.
You provided students in Wichita Kansas; various states including Hawaii (which still overtook me in a good way). Helping a student in London, England, and Dublin, Ireland. The online part of teaching has grown and I'm excited to see what else will occur. Thanks for the amazing time TakeLessons. Praying for wisdom for the future of every employee and independent contract teacher. May we continue to serve our communities well with our areas of expertise. Thanks again TakeLessons.
Thanks for your support and blessings.
