In their own words
Classgap
Classgap is an online tutoring platform where students find a teacher and take one-to-one lessons in a virtual classroom. The site offers more than 100 subjects, including languages, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, programming, music, history, social sciences, geography, marketing, and business. Classroom tools include video, chat, a digital whiteboard, collaborative document editing, and screen sharing. GoClass lets users upload documents from Google Drive and share YouTube links for synchronized viewing. After each class, students receive a summary of key points and objectives, tasks and next steps, and a class recording. Tutors set their hourly rates, and students can filter by price. Some tutors offer packs of five or ten hours; five-lesson packs expire after two months and ten-lesson packs after four months. Payments are made by card or PayPal through Classgap. First-time students who are dissatisfied may request a full refund within 24 hours after a lesson. The service has a free trial but no free plan, and is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
