In-person lessons

The in-person lesson that doesn't vanish on the drive home.

Face-to-face lessons at the range or your studio, recorded in the Skillest app while you teach. The student drives home with the swing videos, the analysis and the drills in their plan. You keep the booking, the payment and the history in the same product.

During the lesson

Record the swing on your phone while you teach.

Pull out your phone at the range and capture the swing in slow motion. Every swing is flagged as you film, auto-trim cuts the clip to the swing, and the video is ready to mark up on the spot or after they leave.

  • Slow-motion capture.Record the swing at high frame rate on the phone in your pocket.
  • Live swing detection.Each swing is flagged on screen the moment it happens.
  • Auto-trim.The clip is cut to the swing, so there is nothing to scrub through.
  • Mark it up.Draw lines and angles on the video and talk the player through it.
  • Saved to the lesson.Every clip attaches to the lesson, not lost in your camera roll.

After the lesson

The student drives home with the whole lesson.

Most in-person lessons live on a range receipt and a fading feeling. On Skillest the student keeps the record: the swing videos, your analysis, and a follow-up session with a due date and reference videos. Every lesson stays in their searchable history.

  • A lasting record.Swing videos and your analysis, saved to the student, not to your phone.
  • One drill, one due date.A follow-up session carries what to work on, the videos that show it, and when it's due.
  • Searchable history.Every lesson stays in the student record, easy to find months later.
  • The same record for you.Open any past lesson and pick up exactly where you left off.

With Skillest's new world-class calendar system, I now run my entire coaching business — in-person sessions, online lessons, and even webinars — all from one place. It's streamlined everything and given me more time to focus on what actually matters: coaching.

  • A live status you can watch.The request moves from requested, to in-progress, to available, then loads into the lesson.
  • Lives on the lesson.The summary sits alongside the swing videos, the analysis and the student plan.
  • Readable text.Scan what was said, instead of scrubbing back through video.
  • Less admin, more coaching.No typing up notes after every session.

Frequently Asked Questions

In-person lessons, answered.

Can I record an in-person lesson?+
Yes. Open the Skillest app at the range or your studio and record the swing in slow motion while you teach. Each swing is detected as you film and auto-trim cuts the clip to the swing, so it is ready to mark up and save to the lesson.
What does the student get to keep?+
A lasting record of the lesson. The swing videos, your analysis, and a follow-up session with a due date and reference videos all land in the student's record and stay searchable, long after they have driven home.
How do students book and pay for in-person lessons?+
Share your public booking page. It can offer in-person lesson packages, monthly plans, free consultations and Zoom sessions. Students pay through Stripe when they book, or you can set single in-person lessons to be paid on the day. Skillest takes no fee on in-person lessons and packs, and 1% on subscriptions. Bookings land on a calendar that colour-codes in-person and online and syncs two-way with Google Calendar.
Can I add students I already coach in person?+
Yes. You can add your existing in-person students to Skillest, and automated welcome messages can greet them, so their history and plan start building from the first lesson.
Do AI summaries work for in-person lessons?+
Yes. Record the lesson at the range and tap to generate an AI summary and a full transcript from the videos. The request moves through a live status, from requested to in-progress to available, then loads into the lesson alongside the swing videos and the student plan.
What is ShadowPro?+
ShadowPro is a realtime AI practice partner your students can talk to between in-person visits. Every session is built on your lesson's AI summary and ends with its own AI session summary and a rating, so practice between range visits follows your coaching.
Does this work alongside online coaching?+
It is built for it. Turn on uploads for a student and, between in-person visits, they can send you a swing to review, message you and book the next session, all in the same app, so in-person and online sit in one student record instead of two separate worlds.
