Course Hero

You have to pay for a subscription, and then you find out you have access to 30 documents per a month. You have to "unlock" each document if you want to see more than the top 1/4th of the page, and you get 30 unlocks a month. Most of the documents have nothing to do with the class/topic they're listed under, and some of the documents are jokes people posted on the website. When I cancelled the "cancel anytime" subscription, I was informed I owed the full amount of the contract. I had to call customer service to get out of the contract immediately. I spent all of 30 minutes on the site.

I have been removed as tutor and they did not tell me why, or which violation i made, also when they gave me warnings they did not say where i made a mistake or why i gave a wrong answer, even when i contacted support they did not say where is the mistake in the answers i gave, or which violation I made, or which behaviour I have on the platform that make them offboard me.

This site has saved my sanity as I'm sure it has for many others. So many pointless discussions were avoided. However, here comes the problems:
1) lazy tutors. If you don't give them everything uploaded in a picture a lot of times they will claim there's missing info. That's kind of hard to do when you're giving them 200-page books as the source. I'd rather you move on if you're not familiar with the content.
2)incorrect answers. There have been several times that I've posed a question and gotten an answer that is obviously wrong. Like so wrong that it must be intentional. I'm not sure if they're doing this for fun or if it's some Dudly Doright trying to expose people for using the site.
3) pricing. For what you get, it's way overpriced. There are literally tens of other pages that do the same thing and better. Chegg for example.
4) from what I've read, they don't pay the tutors as they should.

The website was good 3 years back. Now that I resumed my studies, I can see the drastic change in the quality of tutors. They aren't helpful anymore. Even customer care isn't as friendly as before. They refused to refund my fee even though I didn't get any help for all my questions. Complete Scam I must say.
Just to help other students out there getting scammed, I would suggest going for EduYoda.com. It's similar to coursehero, but with better response and tutor quality. Just had 2 projects done by them and they were amazing.

I am a tutor in coursehero, who is 100% disatfied by the support scamming characters and team. Even if you are soo rude on tutors, why not pay our dues prior to their disengagement. Where is that robbed money taken to after an account is disambled. This is the worst platform and both students and tutors should avoid it at all means. You will work for 14 days and you will get nothing as at the moment.
Very unhelpful platform.

The Document I was looking to unlock was already for free on a government website, they said they would only charge $9.95 per month, no where they did they state that it would be in USD only, and they charged for a year upfront, no where did they at all state that this would be the case. I ended up being charged $173.51 AUD and not recieveing anything useful. I kept asking tutors for advice on simple questions, but got no help from them. They have also refused to give a refund.

I purchase the Premium Account from Course Hero for the year May 2021 to May 2022. However, after approximately four months I was locked out of my account and was never able to regain access again. I followed the instructions of Course Hero technical staff and still, until this day, I have not been able to open this "Premium" account.
I requested a refund and have not received it as of this day.

Avoid using this if you are taking accounting and Finance courses! I got 8/20 for a long question that I posted, the explanations are so randome! I suggest Chegg for courses that contain problem solving.

If there was a zero I would rate it so with Coursehero. My tutor account was blocked with over 300$ and they do not respond to emails. And when they do they do not tell you why they blocked the account just a general reason for the violation. Then do not allow you to withdraw your hard-earned cash from the tutor account. I have about 10 of my friends who had tutor account and they were blocked in the same manner. Now people in my region do not want to hear about Courshero. The block account with a huge amount of cash.

Course hero is taking me $22 AUD a month out of my account and I have emailed them several times to help me cancel my membership but they claim I paid through iTunes which I don't even have a iTunes account! They seem also ignorant in not helping my find my subscription coz it's not a premier subscription. Cannot find subscription in settings, App Store or on the app and the app is not allowing me to delete my account either. The services itself even when you have paid for a subscription seem very limited as they basically want you to get premier to charge you even more! Since course hero won't help me I'm going to have to cancel my credit card. Would not reccomend course hero unless you want to be robbed of your money. I'm most annoyed I also tried weeks beforehand to cancel and they couldn't find my account yet I still got charged

I was initially a bit sceptical but I always give any subscription based product a one month trial. In the case of Course Hero it really helped me to level up on my Math classes. I usually struggle in math and algebra so when I got into college I was having a hard time with the basic courses. A sophomore recommended it to me and I went through the algebra study guides and they help me to get an A in my class. I got the chance to ask questions to tutors online that I couldn't ask to my professor, since we're a big class and he doesn't have the time answer everybody's question.
