Online lessons

Online golf lessons. Coach anyone, anywhere.

Students upload their videos. You send back annotated analysis, drills and voice feedback. An AI-generated summary lands on the lesson once it's finished. When you need face-to-face, run a live Zoom session. Video lessons remove the geography limits of in-person teaching.

Lesson structure

A lesson is structured the way you actually teach.

Every lesson is grouped into the parts that matter. What the student sent, your analysis, and the drills to take away. No loose video files scattered across a chat thread.

  • Original Videos.Up to six videos the student uploaded, plus photos for context.
  • Analysis.Your annotated feedback videos, added once you submit from the analysis tool.
  • After Videos, Tips & Drills.The take-away section students return to between sessions.
  • Titles and tags.Name and tag videos so a lesson stays organized.
  • Request extra videos.Ask the student for more angles right inside the lesson.

Video review

Video lessons remove the travel limits of in-person teaching. Open a lesson and the analysis tool is one tap away on any video. Submit your finished analysis and it's added to the lesson.

  • One-tap into the analysis tool.Launch straight from any lesson video, no exporting and re-importing.
  • Submit and it's added to the lesson.Finish your analysis and submit it; your annotated video is added to the lesson automatically.
  • Voice notes on the video.Record voice feedback alongside the video. Add written notes in the lesson's comment thread.
  • Frame-by-frame precision.Scrub to the exact frame and draw lines, angles and shapes over the swing.
  • Coach beyond your postcode.Teach students in any city without either of you travelling.

Drills & follow-up sessions

Send students home with a follow-up session.

Feedback only sticks if there is something to practise. Attach a follow-up session, a single drill with reference videos and a due date, to any lesson, so students know exactly what to work on next.

  • One drill, one due date.Give the follow-up session a title, description and a date it's due.
  • Reference videos attached.Attach the videos that show the drill done right.
  • Tied to the lesson.The follow-up session lives with the lesson, not in a separate doc.
  • Returned to between sessions.Students open the take-away section whenever they practise.
  • Builds the lesson history.Each follow-up session stays attached to the lesson, part of the student's record.

Comments & ratings

Every lesson has its own thread, rating and follow-up state.

Coaching does not stop when you hit send. Each lesson carries an inline comment thread and a rating, so the conversation and the feedback loop stay attached to the work.

  • Inline comment thread.Discuss the lesson in context, with an unread badge so nothing is missed.
  • Lesson ratings & reviews.Students rate each lesson so you see what is landing.
  • Follow-up state.Lessons track where they are so nothing slips through.
  • Searchable lesson history.Find any lesson later by student name or lesson title, comments and ratings included.

I left a career at Google to chase my dream of becoming a golf coach — and Skillest made it possible. I now coach 100% online, on my own terms, and help players from every corner of the globe.

Official Arccos coaching partner

Arccos, built into your coaching platform.

Arccos is the Official Game Tracker of the PGA TOUR. Students connect their account once and their rounds flow into Skillest: hole-by-hole scorecards, club distances and strokes-gained breakdowns for driving, approach, short game and putting. Your lessons stop being about the swing in isolation and start being about what the scorecard says.

  • Connect with one sign-in.Students sign in with their Arccos account in the Skillest mobile app, and can disconnect any time.
  • Round stats and scorecards.Hole-by-hole scorecard and round-level stats inside the lesson.
  • Club distances.See real measured distances per club from on-course play.
  • Strokes-gained breakdowns.Driving, approach, short game and putting, each as a strokes-gained view.
  • Coach what is costing strokes.Aim the lesson at the part of the game the data says is losing shots, not the part that is easiest to see.
