How Walla’s Teacher Ranking Report Makes Your Studio Schedule More Bookable

What makes your studio stand out from the competition? Yes, branding, marketing, searchability, availability, location, class types (even parking!) are essential, but the biggest differentiator is who you hire. And how they measure up to your mission and connection with your clients. It’s their playlist choices, front desk interactions, class structure—and, most importantly, how your instructors impact client relationships. 

Walla’s Teacher Ranking Report is one data-driven overview that can help your studio be more confident and strategic with what instructors appear on your daily roster and class schedule. This report lets you define who is good (or bad) for business and positively influences revenue and retention, giving you a baseline for how to measure instructor performance without second-guessing decisions. 

So which instructors rank highest and influence retention? How many classes can they teach? At Walla, we make it easy to answer those questions and understand performance so you make smarter scheduling decisions in seconds. Here’s how the Teacher Ranking Report can give you instant, time-saving insights and measure instructor success metrics, especially as you’re trying to sell more plans, nurture clients, and optimize every class or appointment on your schedule.
