Tutors and teachers

Lesson booking students can finish without you.

Students book and prepay lessons. Weekly slots recur. Parents get the reminder. Your calendar only offers the hours you still have.

Updated 22 October 2026

Weekly lessons are a series, not a fresh negotiation

Tutoring falls apart when every week starts with 'does Thursday still work?'. A recurring meeting type books the series. A package of lessons means the parent pays once and the student picks from the times you actually teach.

Keep a separate type for trial lessons. Trials are shorter, sometimes free, and should have a daily limit so they do not replace paid teaching hours.

The person who pays is often not the person who attends

Intake questions can collect the student name, the subject, the level and the parent email. Reminders can go where they will be read. Email is on every plan. SMS and WhatsApp, which parents actually see, are on Pro.

Cancellation rules matter more in tutoring than in most businesses, because a missed lesson is an hour you cannot resell the same evening. Publish the notice window on the booking page and let reschedules happen from the reminder link.

School hours, evenings, and the calendar you already use

Connect the calendar that already holds your other students. Two-way sync hides those hours. If you teach across time zones, the page shows the family their local time. The time zone converter is there when you want to check a message by hand.

Video links for Zoom, Google Meet or Teams are attached to the invite, so you are not pasting a room into a chat ten minutes before the lesson.

Where to put the link

The hosted page is enough for families who come from a referral. If you have a site, embed the booking widget on the subjects page. One snippet, the same availability.

Compare this with tools built for salons and class packs on the Setmore alternative page if you have been looking at small-business schedulers that were not designed around a single tutor's week.

FAQ

Questions about this

Can't find yours? Visit the help center or talk to us.

Can a parent book for a student?

Yes. Ask for both names on the intake form, and send reminders to the address or number that will act on them.

Can lessons repeat every week?

Yes. Use a recurring meeting type, or a package the student redeems against later bookings.

Can I charge before the trial?

Yes. A trial can be free or paid. Paid trials use the same checkout as a normal lesson.

What if a family is in another time zone?

The booking page shows slots in their zone. Your calendar stores the lesson in yours.

Your time is worth booking — and paying for.
