Teachlive: Finding private music teachers online

We built a Sharetribe marketplace for booking music lessons. It included teacher dashboards, cancellation policies, and PayPal integration.

The idea

Teachlive, a German marketplace, helped users find private music teachers immediately, offering both online and in-person lessons. We worked closely with the Teachlive team for several months, starting with the Sharetribe hourly template and adding extensive custom coding.

What we built

A Sharetribe marketplace with teacher-specific features:

  • Visual identity and design Implemented Teachlive's look and feel, creating a unique visual identity for the marketplace
  • Custom dashboard Built on top of the typical Flex Inbox, organizing transactions by closest date and transaction status
  • Configurable cancellation policies Option for teachers to choose between free cancellation up to 48 hours before the lesson and no cancellation at all
  • Search optimization Removed the need for a map for online classes while retaining location search for offline classes
  • Jitsi integration High-quality video and audio meetings directly on the transaction details page for online lessons
  • Free session and payment support Free lessons per month with customized checkout, plus GiroPay and PayPal integration alongside the Stripe payments built into Sharetribe

The result

A feature-rich marketplace connecting music teachers with students. The custom dashboard and cancellation policies simplified transaction management. Search optimization and Jitsi integration enhanced the online lesson experience. Free sessions and multiple payment options (GiroPay and PayPal alongside Sharetribe’s built-in Stripe payments) made the platform flexible and attractive to both teachers and students.

The team has worked with many Sharetribe projects already so they can think creatively with you and solve problems in a cost efficient and effective way. … They kept the schedule, were professional and all features work as expected. Most importantly the developments don't block you managing everything from the console so you remain independent after.
