Keep 100% of every lesson.
TeachMe.To finds students and keeps 20% of each lesson for as long as they book there. Lessonluma doesn't find students for you: it gives you your own page and booking link, packs, clinics, e-transfer tracking and a rain button, for CA$0 to start or CA$19 a month. Many coaches will use both.

A coach teaching CA$4,500 a month through a 20% marketplace gives up CA$900 a month. Solo is CA$19.
TeachMe.To brings beginners you'd never meet, includes insurance and pays out quickly. If it fills your calendar, keep it. Check its terms before moving students it introduced: many marketplaces restrict that. Students you found yourself are yours to book however you like.
What it fixes.
Your regulars found you at the courts, yet a share of every lesson still goes to a platform.
Book the students you found yourself through your own link and keep the whole fee. A pack of 10 at CA$70 is CA$700 to you, not CA$560.
The platform owns the student's contact and the review.
On Lessonluma the student list, reviews and history are yours, exportable any time for free.
Paying monthly for software when you only coach in summer.
Pause for CA$0 for up to 6 months a year; your page and students stay live.
Reminders, rainouts and nudges, sent for you.
What your students actually receive, written from your real times, places and prices:
Every text names you and says how to stop. Messages about a minor always copy a parent. Promotions only go to people who said yes.
Rained out? One tap moves everyone.
Tap Rain on a lesson, a clinic or a whole day. Everyone booked gets your next open times or a credit, and their calendar updates. For outdoor places you also get a forecast heads-up the evening before.
Your pickleball page, from one sentence.
“I coach pickleball and tennis, CA$70 an hour, 5 for CA$315, clinics Saturday 9:00 for 8 at CA$25; my regulars book with me directly.”
The AI builds your page, lesson types, packs, clinic and places. Change any of it in a sentence or a tap. Starter defaults for pickleball are below.

Questions coaches ask
Will Lessonluma send me students?
Not like a marketplace does. Your page is built to be found on Google for your sport and city, and every booking confirmation says "booked with Lessonluma", but we never charge a lead fee or a commission.
Can I use both?
Yes. Plenty of coaches keep a marketplace for new beginners and run their own regulars, packs and clinics on their own link. Respect the marketplace's terms for students it introduced.
How fast can I move my own students?
Describe your coaching to the AI and your page is live in minutes. Send your own students the link; each family books once and is on your list from then on.
Is my data mine?
Yes. Students, bookings, payments and reviews export to CSV for free, any time.
What does Lessonluma cost?
Free for up to 10 active students (anyone booked in the last 30 days), with cards at 3.9% + CA$0.30 and e-transfer and cash free. Solo is CA$19 a month (CA$190 a year) for unlimited students, text reminders and the rain button, with cards at Stripe's cost. We never take a cut of a lesson.
What happens after the trial, or in the off-season?
Your first 30 days unlock Solo with no card. On day 31 you're back on Free limits unless you pick a plan, and you're never locked out of your students. Off-season, pause for CA$0 for up to 6 months a year: your page, students and credits stay live, and a new booking wakes the plan.
