Teach on your terms. Get paid on time.
Lett is a racquet-sports marketplace for independent tutors in Ontario. Set your own price, publish the times and courts that actually work for you, and keep up to 93.5% of every session.
Your price, your money
You set the session price — anything from CA$20 up. Commission is 6.5% with a CA$5 minimum, and there is nothing else: no listing fee, no lead fee, no subscription required.
Availability you control
Publish slots once, with the venue attached. Students only ever see times you are genuinely free, so you stop losing evenings to scheduling messages.
Paid for late cancellations
A student who cancels late still pays you 70% of the session — 85% with Lett Pro. Early cancellations refund in full.
One thread per student
Built-in 1:1 chat with read receipts and push notifications, so you never hand out your personal number. Report and block are built in.
What you actually take home
Lett charges one commission on the session price. This is the whole table.
| Your price | Lett commission | You keep | With Lett Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| CA$50 | −CA$5.00 | CA$45.00 | CA$47.50 |
| CA$60 | −CA$5.00 | CA$55.00 | CA$57.50 |
| CA$70 | −CA$5.00 | CA$65.00 | CA$67.50 |
| CA$80 | −CA$5.20 | CA$74.80 | CA$77.40 |
| CA$100 | −CA$6.50 | CA$93.50 | CA$96.75 |
Commission is 6.5% of the session price with a CA$5 minimum — so under about CA$77 a session the CA$5 floor applies and you keep a little less than 93.5%. Lett Pro is CA$14/month and halves the commission to 3.25% (CA$2.50 minimum); at CA$70 a session it pays for itself at about six sessions a month. All prices in CAD. Payments processed by Stripe.

Questions tutors ask
Coaching tennis in Toronto? See what it pays here.
Is this a job, or self-employment?
Self-employment. You are an independent contractor, not a Lett employee — you set your own rates, choose your own hours, pick your own venues, and decide which requests to accept. Lett does not assign you students or guarantee a volume of work. You need to be at least 18 and legally entitled to work as an independent contractor where you live.
When do I get paid?
After each completed session, straight to your bank account. Funds are released about 72 hours after the session — about 24 hours with Lett Pro. Payouts run through Stripe, so you connect a Stripe account once during setup and then never think about it again.
What happens if a student cancels late?
You are still paid. A late student cancellation pays you 70% of the session price — 85% with Lett Pro. Students who cancel early get a full refund, so nobody is punished for planning ahead.
Do I need a coaching certification?
Lett does not require one to list. Any certifications and experience you add appear in the Credentials section of your profile, where students see them before they book — so they are worth adding if you have them.
Can I bring the students I already teach?
Yes, and it is the fastest way to start. Send a student a direct 1:1 invitation to one of your slots — no public listing needed — and they book and pay in the app. Scheduling, reminders, payment, and receipts stop being your problem, and the session history builds your profile for students who find you later.
Where do sessions happen?
Wherever you already teach. You publish the venues yourself alongside your availability — your club, a public court, more than one location if you move around. Students see the exact venue before they book.
Which sports can I teach?
Tennis, pickleball, padel, badminton, squash, and table tennis. You can list more than one — plenty of people teach two or three.
Can I teach juniors on Lett?
Not today. Lett is an 18+ platform: every account holder and every person receiving a session must be 18 or older. If your work is mostly junior programs, Lett will only cover your adult clients for now.
Is Lett available outside Ontario?
Not yet. Lett is live in Ontario, Canada today, on iPhone. Other provinces, an Android app, and the United States are planned but not open — this page will say so when they are.
