Hi Errol,
We're so glad you had a great experience with us.
Great variety of teaching styles and topics
The site offers a large variety of teachers that gives me a chance to try on different approaches to learning. I am able to actually try out new approaches to doing art without having to commit to a paid class with a new teacher. I have recommended the site to many friends who ask me to suggest classes that they could take.

More Quality, Less Quantity
Sometimes artists should not be teachers. I hate to be critical, the last artist I watched is probably the most wonderful person you will ever meet, but I fell asleep right after lessons started and woke up after. Most of it was frustration with the lack of knowledge or preparedness on their part. It just seemed thrown together, not planned in relation the process. A lot of artists work that way, myself included, but teaching it is different. For the price of subscription, it’s not worth the price, and I’d like to see less quantity of classes and more quality. It matters that they are understandable, can convey step by step instructions and not so much visual emphasis on teacher but the screen/app we want to learn about. I’m just finding a lot of mistakes/missteps that could be edited out better. I don’t know if artists aren’t making much/not putting time into your videos-but in this last one I decided I cannot watch this artist, again, because she was all over the place and trying to correct after the fact. But she did speak English well enough for me to understand, which is why I chose her lesson. There are many positive things about Skillshare and great teachers/lessons; but the majority of my time is trying to find and English speaking one who is easy to follow. If I’m spending all my time doing that in the app, I lose time in production, and less likely to re-subscribe-find a more focused, professional class online through the company who produced the software/app I’m trying to learn.
Thanks for letting me convey my concerns.

Hi Susan,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback — we really appreciate it.
We're sorry to hear that the class you watched didn’t meet your expectations. You’re absolutely right that teaching is a different skill from creating, and when lessons feel unstructured or unclear, it can be frustrating and take away from the learning experience.
We also hear your point about consistency, clarity, and editing. Being able to follow a clear, step-by-step process without having to sift through trial-and-error is important, especially when you’re trying to stay focused and actually produce work.
We’ll make sure your feedback is shared with the team as we continue working with instructors and improving overall class quality and structure. We’re also actively looking at ways to help members more easily find classes that are well-paced, clearly taught, and aligned with their learning goals.
We do appreciate you being part of Skillshare and for also recognizing the strengths in the platform and its teachers. Feedback like yours is genuinely valuable in helping us improve.

Check their review policy
I did enjoy short courses on the platform, but lost how to login and forgot I was a subscriber. Then I missed the one email about the refreshed payment and $155 came out for renewal. I quickly applied for a refund but "Unfortunately, this charge was an automatic renewal of your existing membership. Our refund policy does not allow refunds for renewal charges".
Do not subscribe if your inbox is very oversaturated.

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the short courses on Skillshare, but we're sorry to learn about the frustration surrounding your renewal.
We understand how disappointing it can be to discover a renewal charge after losing access to your account or missing an email notification. While memberships renew automatically to help ensure uninterrupted access, we recognize that situations like yours can be frustrating.
We appreciate your honest feedback and will share it with our team as we continue looking for ways to improve the member experience and communication around renewals.
