The Personal Finance Lab provides a world-class, web-based stock simulation platform. Their stock market game is derived from Stock-Trak’s University Platform, which is used in over 80% of the top business schools in the US and Wharton Global High School Investment Competition. It can help practice students’ information gathering, analytical, and money management skills.
Once your enrollment is completed, our team carefully pairs every student with their recurring instructor, using a number of factors such as age, learning style, previous experience, and scheduling availability. If you don’t love learning with your instructor after a few classes, we’ll work as a team to help improve your experience.
Our students typically work with their recurring instructor for the whole program, taking into account availability of both the student and instructor.
To ensure communication efficiency and instructor privacy, we ask that you communicate with your instructor in one of two ways:
- If you would prefer to speak to your student’s instructor directly, please email their Wessential email.
- If you would prefer to speak to a member of Wessential Support directly, please email support@seewessential.com with any questions or feedback, and our team will be more than happy to help.
In general, we are happy to ask your instructor to write a letter of recommendation in support of the student and share their experience working with the student, whether it's for summer camp or school admissions. While we cannot guarantee your instructor will be able to write the letter, we are always happy to ask.
For any request, please email support@seewessential.com with all information provided by the institution, including deadlines, our team will convey your request to the instructor.
Investing & Cryptocurrency:
We offer a full Investing program for age of 13+. Each program typically takes 4 to 6 months to complete, depending on the student's pacing through the material, dedication to homework, their previous Investing knowledge, and the difficulty of course material.
Scheduling & Attendance
If we don't see your student join class within 10 minutes of the scheduled start time, a member of our Support Team will reach out via text message or phone calls to check in and help troubleshoot any issues.
If we do not hear back from you, your instructor will wait online for 20 minutes after the scheduled start time before signing off and marking the class as missed.
If you know ahead of time that you’ll be running late for class, feel free to email us at support@seewessential.com or text/call (202)-980-8999 or (650)-719-8999, so that we can notify the instructor to continue waiting online for your student.
Our students meet with their instructor at a recurring time each week, like Mondays at 6 pm Pacific Time. We offer rolling enrollment throughout the entire year.
Students can reschedule classes by text/call (202)-980-8999 or (650)-719-8999 or email: support@seewessential.com
Each class is 50 minutes long. After the end of each class, your instructor will write the session feedback for the class, which will be emailed to you & is available in the Wessential Learner Portal.
In the case that you need to reschedule a class, classes can be rescheduled 24+ hours in advance with no additional charge, by emailing support@seewessential.com.
If a class is not rescheduled in time, it is considered missed and will not be eligible for a makeup class or a refund. We do make exceptions to this policy in case of family emergencies or illness. Please contact support@seewessential.com and our team will be more than happy to help!
Students can reschedule classes by texting (202)-980-8999 or (650)-719-8999 or email: support@seewessential.com. Please list your availability for rescheduling and we will work with your Instructor to open up times that work for you.

If your Instructor is not available at any time that works for your family, we will facilitate a transition for a new instructor to work with your student.
Please include the following information in your email:
- New time(s) (i.e. day of week, time, and timezone) that work best for your family
- Date you would like this change to be effective
Typically, we can provide the best support with 1-2 weeks of advance notice so that we can work with the instructor to adjust their schedule as needed.
Makeup classes are added to your account in the case of student illness, family emergency, or other situations where your student is allowed to make up a class session with us.
You can schedule your makeup classes by email support@seewessential.com with your availability for the makeup classes.
In the case of an instructor emergency, our team will reach out to you as soon as possible and discuss rescheduling options.
Technical Troubleshooting
If your student is having internet connectivity issues in class:
- Have your student check their internet speed on https://fast.com.
- If the speed is less than 10 Mbps, move to a different location or switch networks. We ask that instructors and students prepare themselves for class by making sure their internet speed is 10+ Mbps.
- If the internet speed is greater than 10 Mbps, then the student can try: using a different browser, rejoining the Teams meeting, and restarting their computer.
We expect students to join class with a Mac or PC computer with a strong internet connection (10+ Mbps), with their Wessential Learning Platform and the Teams application set up.
