One Class Live Online Streaming Help For Education

With schools closed across the world, many students are worried about their education. Whether you are in school, college or university you could probably do with some help. This is where a site like One Class can help. This is an ad.


One Class is a site which allows you to access study materials and homework help. Study materials are from UK, USA and Canadian students mainly and they have recently launched a free live online streaming program too.

How does online streaming work?

The online streaming tutors teach live for high school, college and university 7 days a week. With the emphasis on maths and sciences, and SAT prep, these lessons are online and live right in your living room every day of the week. 



You can see the notes of the tutor and the graphs or drawings they make, so it's a very imaginative way to learn. Great for those that have a visual learning style. 

The live stream is interactive and reactive - you can ask questions as you go along and the tutors will respond. Great for the auditory learner. 

You know sometimes you just get stuck on a question or a solution? Well, you can also book a one to one consultation with a tutor to get clarification too. So important when your essay or coursework has to be in. 

As you can see the live sessions can be really useful and at present they are free. You can read about the tutor's qualifications and experience too in their bio, so you can check that they are suitably experienced. The live tutors I saw appeared very knowledgable and personable. 

What subjects do they cover?

The nine main subjects that they focus on are Math, Chemistry, Physics, Economics, Accounting, Electrical Engineering, Biology, Statistics, and Mechanical Engineering however other subjects are covered too. When looking for information, for example, I found women and gender study notes, so it's always worth a search of their online tool.  Of course, study notes are a subjective response to classwork but work submitted is quality checked for reassurance. 



How much does it cost?

At the moment the live streaming is free, so that's a great service. 

To access homework help, the cost is from $2 a month paid yearly. To get premium access to all notes and all stay guides it's $9.98 a month paid yearly or $39.99 paid monthly, obviously more expensive but useful when you need help but don't want to be locked into a yearly plan.

You can also apply to be a note-taker or a study specialist guide and feel good providing help. You get credits when you upload your notes and these turn into rewards including cash payments.  This can help if you need some extra cash when working your way through university. 


As you can see One Class provides a very useful service. They say they have helped over 2.2 million+ students spanning across 1.3 million different courses. Let me know, would you use the online streaming lessons? Would you use a site like One Class to help with your study needs?

Creating A Study Space

Whether you are a student or you work from home, a productive study/work space is essential. Somewhere you can work from with no distractions and manage to get everything done. But it can be difficult to know exactly what you require from such a space - after all, everyone is different and has different working and studying styles., so it is important to work out what your style is and working from there. 




A visual learner may prefer their space to have some pictures to help them, focus an aural learner may prefer to have some soft music playing to enable them to study to their full potential. Verbal, physical and logical learners may also have their own ways of making their study space their own so that they can work more productively. 




First things first, when creating a study space you need somewhere to work. Choose an area of your home that would be perfect as a study space and then take a look at the various home office desks out there to find the right one for you. Make sure you pick the right desk for the space, and for your posture - there’s no point purchasing something that won’t fit or that will cause you to be hunched over. You also want to make sure that the area that you have chosen has plenty of natural light - straining your eyes to work under the gaze of a dim light bulb is not a good idea. Also, it's important to make sure that your space is positioned correctly in regards to lights - you don’t want either the natural light or house lights to be shining directly into your eyes. 



You will also need some good seating - whilst it may be tempting to use any old chair that you have in the house such as a dining room chair, it is so important to invest in a decent computer chair that provides lumbar support. They are created especially for people who have to sit at desks for long hours so that their back isn’t affected - don’t risk your health by not choosing a chair wisely.

Whilst you want to be able to study and work from the space and you want to be productive without distractions; you also don’t want the space to be too clinical. Make it your own - personalise it with some ‘you’ touches. Maybe some photos of family and friends, some inspirational quotes. Make it productive but inspirational.


You also want to make sure you have plenty of storage and are very organised - whether you choose a desk with various drawers for storage or opt for folders for your paperwork, you must think about this before finishing off your study space. Pen pots for your stationery, pins for your pinboard where you will pin any important information - all these things need to be stored nice and neatly in and around your desk. A perfect study space is relaxing and inspiring - it needs to be somewhere you want to sit and study rather than somewhere you dread going. Keep positive affirmations dotted around to keep you positive when working there and know when to take a break - don’t overdo it. Make it a nice positive space that you like to visit but can also easily leave to take a few minutes breather.

By taking these few simple steps, you will be able to create a study space that works for you - somewhere that you can go and study or work and get things done. All you need to do is work out what suits you best and go from there.

What does your ideal productive study space look like?
