How to add a student
Go to My Students from the main menu.
Tap Add Student.
Fill in the student's details:
Name — The student's full name.
Email (optional) — If provided, the student will receive booking notifications by email.
Phone (optional) — If provided, the student will receive booking notifications by SMS.
Tap Add to create the student.
The student appears in your student list as an offline student. You can now book lessons for them, add tags and notes, and manage their profile.
What is an offline student?
An offline student is someone you've added to SwingMatch yourself. They don't have their own SwingMatch account and can't log in, book lessons, or manage their own profile.
As the instructor, you're in control of their profile:
You create and manage their bookings.
You update their contact info, tags, and notes.
You track their payments (all payments are marked as offline).
If you add their email or phone number, they'll receive SMS or email notifications when you book, reschedule, or cancel a lesson — but they don't interact with SwingMatch directly.

Good to know
Adding a student doesn't create a lesson. To book for them, see Booking a lesson on behalf of a student.
Students can also appear in your list automatically when they book a lesson through your public profile — those are online students.
You can add tags and notes to any student from their detail page. See Adding tags and notes to a student.
