Getting Started as a Coach
Apply to teach, set up your profile, and set your lesson types and prices.
- How do I apply to become a TeachMe.To coach?Learn how to apply to become a TeachMe.To coach. Follow the step-by-step guide to create your profile, upload your photo, set your rate, and submit your application.
- How old do I need to be to teach?All coaches must be 18 or older to use TeachMe.To.
- Do I need a background check to teach?Yes, to teach on TeachMe.To. You can launch your profile without one, but to stay active past your first month you need an approved background check. CoachGrow does not need one.
- How do I set up my profile?Learn how to set up your TeachMe.To coach profile in the Coach App. Fill in each section, add photos and videos, and submit your profile for review.
- How do I add Lesson types and Pricing?Learn how to update lesson types, set your rates, and adjust student limits in the Coach App. Use the built-in calculator to choose competitive pricing. Choose Standard or Get more students for new students.
- What are packages and lesson packs?You set one hourly rate on TeachMe.To. Students buy single lessons or lesson packs, and you are paid your rate for every lesson. Packages you build yourself are part of CoachGrow, which is optional.
- How do I host open play?Open play is a weekly, hosted game that players join one session at a time. Create it from Open play in your dashboard, set the level band, format, schedule, and price, and choose who can find it.
- How do I offer more than one lesson length in a package?Sell one package at more than one lesson length, like 60 and 90 minutes. Set a price for each length. Students see one card and pick their length.
- How long does profile review take?After you submit your profile, our team reviews it within 48 hours. Learn what we check, and what happens if we ask for changes.
- What counts as proof of experience?To get approved, your profile needs a proof of experience or a photo or video of you teaching. Playing experience counts, and you do not need a certification.
- Am I covered by insurance when I teach?TeachMe.To has a secondary accident medical policy for lessons booked through TeachMe.To. It is not your main coverage, so we strongly recommend that you have your own insurance.
- How do I offer a free consultation?Add a free 15- or 30-minute video consultation from Private Lessons (Online) in the coach dash. Set up online lessons first. Students book it for free, one per student.
