FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does MyTennisLessons help me acquire students?
MyTennisLessons creates for you a unique coach profile that students in your area are able to view. Since we use the information you input in your application and written bio, it is important to provide accurate info and proper profile picture to put your best foot forward. We budget for marketing, advertising, and customer service on your behalf. Our goal is to match you with students looking for coaches like you.
Do I need to be a certified tennis coach?
No, it is not a requirement to have a certification to be listed. Whether you're a college tennis player or certified coach with 30 years of experience, there are a wide range of students looking for all types of coaches. If you are looking to get certified, USPTA and PTR certifications are great options to not only learn new coaching techniques, but to also appeal to a wider customer base.
How many students should I expect to receive through MTL?

Ultimately, you make your own hours and can accept and decline clients based on fit. There are various factors that can impact student acquisition:

  • The area where you teach
  • The number of court locations you have and your willingness to travel
  • Your listed contract rate
  • Your coach qualifications
  • The amount of reviews, testimonials, and hours taught through MTL
How much will I make per lesson?
You decide the amount you make. It is free to sign up and you set your own hourly rate. We charge an additional percentage to the student to cover our operating costs. Depending on the number of lessons purchased up front and the promo current running, the student often ends up paying less than the listed price but you always make the amount per hour you set. You are always able to adjust your rate for future students in your MTL coach account.
How do I get paid?
Payment is processed every two weeks via either direct deposit, PayPal, or check. You can adjust your preference anytime in your MTL coach account. When you conduct a lesson, it is your responsibility to mark that lesson as completed in your account. That lets us know the lesson has to be included in that pay period.
Where do I teach lessons?

Teach at the locations you want and know you can teach. Only list or add facilities where you are confident you can conduct lessons. We would recommend always listing at least one public court that is in good condition, free, and allows outside lessons. The more courts you list, the better coverage you cover on the student zip code search.

Sometimes a student will request a court location, either private or public, as well. If they do request a location near them, be sure to discuss this preference when you initially get in contact with them.

Do I need to bring a hopper and balls to each lesson?
Yes, you are responsible for bringing a hopper and enough tennis balls to conduct lessons. The client may also inform you they require additional equipment such as a racquet before purchasing their own.
How are coaches notified when a student books lessons?
You will receive a booking confirmation email and text directly from MyTennisLessons. Both the email and text will include the clients contact information. Be sure to give the client a call within 24 hours of receiving the email and text to introduce yourself and confirm the lesson details.
