I voted no. I don't have a putting green in my garden so it would be the pro bringing a roll up mat for the living room. That would feel weird. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable doing that. Anyway, I don't mind travelling for a lesson.
Interesting idea, maybe I just need to change my mindset

Pretty much the same reason as LT. except I do have a putting mat. At least 50% of putting imo is reading the greens and I feel you need to be on a green, preferably one you don't know, to learn how to read them

I'm a no as well, same reason as LT. If I had a putting lesson it would need to be as realistic as possible and a roll out mat wouldn't justify the cost. If you had one of the big 'greens' that you can alter the break on they I may be slightly tempted but no for now

Very much this. If I'm paying for a putting lesson I want it to be on a proper putting green, otherwise what's the point?I voted no. I don't have a putting green in my garden so it would be the pro bringing a roll up mat for the living room. That would feel weird. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable doing that. Anyway, I don't mind travelling for a lesson.

No. there are so many breaks on my floors due to uneven Victorian floorboards under the carpet that it would be unrepresentative. Put a higher stimp putting mat down and those breaks would be magnified.
If I putt down my hallway and start off on a line six inches inside the right skirting board, I can hole out into a shoe that has fallen off the shoe rack 15ft away at the other end of the hall, close to the left skirting board....a break of around 3.5 ft.
Not to mention that the dog often "retrieves" balls when they are only halfway to their target.

I wondered who had voted yes, turns out it was OP voting in his own poll. 
That would be an overwhelming no then.

Might convert the works van, putting mat in the back, and park it on different inclines to simulate differing breaks on putts. Genius. 
Thread tidied up.
Please consider that the OP, a new member I will add, just might have a legitimate reason for asking this question. And the time of the post may be a result of him/her being somewhere other than the UK.

If that service included a fully equipped putting studio on wheels then why not? But I cant see it being cheap for a lesson if that's the case

I suppose ‘all’ you really need is a couple of pairs of those golf VR goggles and your putter and away you go
Pro gets to watch your stroke while you practice putting in VR and then join you in that VR and load any greens you want to load up. Any reason that can’t be done at home?
But like a great many other bespoke teachers be it guitar, language, bookkeeping etc etc. its traditionally been the pupil going to the teacher otherwise the cost per lesson starts to get prohibitive as it has to include the added costs in time & materials and the Pro's reduced capacity
