Pricing, packs, and prepaid lessons

This page is the source for every answer about how lesson prices work. Other articles link here instead of restating it.

You pay when you book

• You pay for your lessons at checkout.
• TeachMe.To does not offer a free first lesson.
• If you set up weekly lessons, your card is also charged automatically later. See the weekly lessons section below.
• If you have a plan, it charges your card on the date shown in Billing. See Plans and renewals.

Single lessons and packs

You can buy a single lesson or a pack of lessons. A bigger pack has a lower price per lesson. Checkout shows the pack sizes and prices that the coach offers.

Lessons you paid for and have not scheduled are prepaid lessons. Prepaid lessons, single lessons and packs, are valid for 12 months from the purchase date. See Refunds and lesson expiry.

Returning student price

After your first paid purchase, more lessons cost less. The returning student price applies when you buy:

• more lessons in the Student App,
• weekly lessons and their automatic recharge,
• lessons from the student website, or from a booking link from our team.

Each lesson costs the coach's rate, plus a fixed TeachMe.To fee per lesson, plus card processing. The price per lesson is the same for any number of lessons.

• Your first purchase can be with any coach and any skill.
• A paid trial lesson alone does not count as a first purchase.
• When you book on the TeachMe.To website without a link from the student website or our team, you see the regular prices.

Weekly lessons

You can set a weekly lesson time in the Student App or student website. Your coach can propose a time in the Coach App or coach dashboard.

• Your coach can send you a weekly time. You can also propose a weekly time to a coach you booked before.
• Weekly lessons use your prepaid lessons. When you have one prepaid lesson left, TeachMe.To charges your card automatically for more lessons.
• You review the weekly lesson price and agree to automatic recharge before the plan starts.
• TeachMe.To weekly prices use the returning student price. The review shows any location fees.
• CoachSite weekly prices use the selected offering's regular price and purchase quantity. The review shows fees and currency.
• A free first lesson or welcome discount does not repeat on automatic recharge.
• CoachSite defaults to your previous offering when it is available and matches your lessons.
• Choose your automatic recharge package after choosing your location and weekly time.
• You can choose another eligible CoachSite package before agreeing to its price and automatic recharge.
• If your previous offering is unavailable, choose a current paid offering. We do not select the cheapest package.
• We send a reminder at least 24 hours before each automatic recharge.
• Automatic charges go to your card. Gift card balances and discounts do not apply to them.
• You can pause, skip a week, or stop weekly lessons in the Student App or student website.
• Skipping a lesson follows your coach's cancellation policy.
• Stopping prevents future automatic charges. A payment already processing may still finish. Your prepaid lessons stay in your account.

Discounts do not combine

You can use one discount on a purchase. If more than one discount applies, you get the largest one. Discounts include promo codes, partner discounts, and the friend referral discount.

A gift card balance still applies after the discount.

Friend referral discount

When a TeachMe.To student shares their referral link with you, you get $25 off your first booking.

• The discount is for new customers only.
• You cannot use your own link.
• The student who shared the link gets $25 toward their next lessons when your discount applies.

The price you see on a coach

The price on a coach's card and profile is the lowest price per lesson. That is the per-lesson price of the coach's largest pack.

Location fees are separate

Some locations charge a fee. The fee is not included in the lesson price. The location card on the coach's profile shows the fee. See Who reserves the lesson location.

On a booking link from our team, the price per lesson already includes any fees.

Group lessons

You can book one lesson for more than one person when the coach teaches groups. Each extra person adds to the lesson price. The price for each person is lower than the price of a private lesson.

Changing a booked lesson

Before an upcoming lesson starts, you can make it longer or add a person. You pay the difference at the price you paid. A shorter lesson or fewer people isn't refunded.

Adding a person applies to all remaining lessons on that purchase, and your coach confirms it. Remaining lessons include prepaid lessons you haven't scheduled yet.

For a CoachSite purchase, your coach sets the price.

To ask for a change, message your coach or contact support, and a Lesson Coordinator will help. For a CoachSite purchase, ask your coach.

Coaches set their own rates

Coaches are independent and set the rate they want to earn. The price you pay includes the coach's rate and TeachMe.To's fees.
