In this video I’m sharing an Outschool teacher mistake I made that turned into a policy violation—because if it can happen to me, it can absolutely happen to any of us (especially when you’re juggling a million teacher tasks). I talk through what happened, why it mattered, and what I’d do differently now so you don’t learn the hard way. If you’re building Outschool online math classes or Outschool online reading classes, you need to understand that “small” details in how you communicate, run class, or handle logistics can quickly cross into policy territory. I also connect this to the bigger picture of being an independent online teacher across platforms like VIPKid and Outschool: getting hired, getting bookings, and staying booked long-term. My takeaway is simple—treat policies like part of your curriculum planning. When you’re clear, consistent, and proactive (with parents, learners, and your own systems), you protect your teacher account and your income. If you’re trying to grow on Outschool, this is one of those unglamorous lessons that actually keeps your business stable.
