MyStudyCorner

How can we help?

Answers to the questions families ask us most.

What is MyStudyCorner? +

MyStudyCorner is where students book live online lessons with qualified teachers, one-to-one or in small groups, and learn in our own online classroom.

Who is it for? +

Primary and secondary school students, exam candidates and adult learners in the UK, Europe and anywhere with a reliable internet connection. Parents often create the account and book for their child.

How do I book a lesson? +

Open a teacher's profile, choose a subject, a length (50, 60 or 90 minutes), a day and one of their free start times, then pay. The lesson is confirmed straight away. Times are always shown in your own time zone.

Can I talk to a teacher first? +

Yes. Send them a message from their profile. If you need a time that isn't listed, ask them and they can send you a lesson to pay for.

How do payments work? +

Each teacher sets an hourly price in pounds, euros or US dollars. You pay for each lesson with PayPal, using a PayPal account or a debit or credit card, or from credit you have added to your account. There is no subscription.

Can I add money to my account in advance? +

Yes. Add any amount from Account credit, through PayPal. Each lesson you book is then paid from your credit automatically, with no checkout, until it runs out or is too low for the next lesson; then that lesson is paid through PayPal instead. We email you what is left after each lesson and tell you when it is running low. Credit pays for lessons in the same currency, and unused credit can be refunded on request.

What do I need for a lesson? +

A computer, tablet or phone with a camera, a microphone and an up-to-date browser. There is nothing to install: the classroom opens 20 minutes before the lesson and you join from your home page.

Will I get a reminder? +

Yes. We email you the day before a lesson booked in advance, and again shortly before it starts.

Are lessons recorded? +

Yes. Every lesson is recorded so you can watch it again from Lesson recordings in your account.

Who are the teachers? +

Every teacher is checked and approved by our team before students can find them.

What if I need to cancel or move a lesson? +

Message your teacher and ask them to move it. Cancellations and refunds follow our Refunds and cancellations policy, linked at the bottom of every page.
