TeachMe.To has demonstrated impressive early growth, expanding 10x between 2022 and 2023. TeachMe.To delivers more than 200 lessons per day, serving every major city in the United States. The platform makes it easy for anyone to find and book local lessons with the closest, most affordable and friendliest coaches, while supporting the ongoing learning experience. TeachMe.To currently offers lessons in a dozen categories including pickleball, golf, tennis, music and more.
“When it comes to learning something new and pursuing an interest, there’s real demand for that human-to-human, local experience,” said Tyler Maloney, CEO of TeachMe.To. “Of course, technology is at the backbone of how we deliver and improve that experience, providing innovative learning tools, like an AI option that can film, analyze and help a student’s swing, but in an ever-increasing AI-dominated world, we are a distinctly human company.”
The platform’s robust functionality also enables talented athletes and experts to share and monetize their expertise by either building out their client portfolio or breaking into coaching entirely. The marketplace connects coaches with students from all backgrounds, whether they are seeking introductory lessons or ongoing training. Top earners on the platform are already making upwards of $5,000 per month.
“In the post-pandemic world, flexible schedules have become the norm, and coaches are increasingly choosing to teach their passions over traditional 9-to-5 jobs,” said Ben Ling, Managing Partner at Bling Capital. “We believe that in the next five years, AI will significantly accelerate this trend. As automation takes over more routine tasks, both students and teachers will have more time to dedicate to enjoyable, in-person experiences. TeachMe.To is strategically positioned to thrive in this evolving marketplace.”
TeachMe.To lessons start at $49 per hour and range in price based on instructor demand. TeachMe.To delivers hundreds of lessons per day in more than 100 U.S. cities with an average instructor rating of 4.9 out of 5. For more information or to get started visit https://teachme.to/
