TeachMe.to fees
TeachMe.to fees, explained for coaches
TeachMe.to fees matter because the platform is built around marketplace discovery. That discovery can be useful, but it has a cost on every lesson booked through the platform.
TeachMe.to's own sports coach guide says the platform charges a 20% commission on each lesson and that coaches keep 80% of the rates they set. That guide also says a one-time matchmaking fee applies at signup, with the amount varying by location and local demand.
This page explains the fee math first. Then it shows when a flat subscription like CoachCore starts to make sense for students you acquire outside a marketplace.
Fee structure
What TeachMe.to charges
TeachMe.to's published sports coach guide says the platform charges a 20% commission on each lesson booked through TeachMe.to. In plain terms, a coach who sets an $80 lesson rate keeps $64 before any other costs.
The same guide says a one-time matchmaking fee applies when a coach first signs up. TeachMe.to describes the amount as variable based on location and local demand. Its become-a-pro page, viewed in July 2026, says free to join, so confirm the current signup cost in the application flow.
The guide also says coaches set their own hourly rates and keep 80% of those rates. That makes the fee model simple to calculate: lesson rate times 20%, repeated across every platform-booked lesson.

Worked examples
What 20% costs at common lesson rates
These examples assume 15 lessons per week for 48 teaching weeks. The one-time matchmaking fee is not included because TeachMe.to says the amount is set by market.

|---|---|---|---|
| $60 | $12 | $8,640 per year | $48 |
| $80 | $16 | $11,520 per year | $64 |
| $120 | $24 | $17,280 per year | $96 |

Coach reports
What coaches report about getting paid
TeachMe.to's guide says payments can arrive within minutes after completed lessons through its Dots integration. Its become-a-pro page says payouts are sent within 24 to 48 hours of each lesson. The same guide quotes an App Store review saying payment timing can sometimes stretch to about a week with support back-and-forth.
The guide also quotes a review describing confusion between text messages and in-app messaging. That is not a fee, but it matters when a coach is evaluating the full cost of marketplace administration.
