Students find you
You appear in “Find teachers”, “Near me” and search with your level badge, which also shows on your public profile. From your profile, students ask for a lesson with “Request a lesson”.
For music teachers
Classicspark is the classical music network. Your teacher profile shows up where students search, requests arrive with a date and time, and you teach in a room designed for instruments. You keep your whole fee.
Why here
You can get a video call for free in many places. The hard part is being found, organising lessons and making the instrument sound right.
You appear in “Find teachers”, “Near me” and search with your level badge, which also shows on your public profile. From your profile, students ask for a lesson with “Request a lesson”.
You set your prices per duration and your weekly hours. Students only see your free slots, in their own time zone.
Classicspark takes no percentage of your lesson. The student pays you directly, however you agree.
No noise filter and no automatic volume control, on for everyone from day one. With headphones, in stereo and at higher quality.
You and your student get a reminder 24 h and 1 h before each lesson, and every lesson has its own conversation to prepare it.
Your students rate you after each lesson in the room. Lessons arranged outside are not rated, so your average reflects what happens here.
Teacher levels
You start at Prelude when you turn on your lessons. You move up with lessons given in the room, to different students and with good ratings, and each level gives you more visibility.

Comparison
Zoom, Meet or Teams bring you no students. Preply or italki do, but they keep part of every lesson. Here students find you and the fee is yours.
