You should set this for callback in Meteor.call , because now this refers to the global scope or undefined if you are using strict mode . In JavaScript, there is method .bind which allows set this for method

Meteor.call("createClass", this.props.courseId, className, function(error) {
   if (error) {
     console.log(error.reason)
   } else {
     this.onSuccessCreateClass()
   }
}.bind(this))

Meteor.call("createNewClass", this.props.courseId, className, function(error) {
  if (error) {
    console.log(error.reason)
  } else {
    this.onSuccessCreateClass()
  }
}.bind(this))
