Tutors: plan weekly lessons for the school year

The core of a tutor's year is weekly lessons: the same student, the same time, from September to June. Setting that up family by family and keeping it straight around holidays is a lot of messages. With Book, new families book a trial lesson on your own booking page, and you book each student's weekly lesson from your list term by term.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own.

After the trial lesson, agree a weekly time with the family and book the lessons yourself from your bookings list until the next school holiday. First and last name are enough; use the parent's email so they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each lesson. Book doesn't send reminders, so the calendar files keep the lessons in the family's calendar.

You create every slot. Don't open public slots at the times you've given to weekly students; open only a few trial lesson slots at other times. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

Book lessons up to each school holiday and leave the holiday weeks empty. At the start of each term, book the next run. It takes a minute per student and keeps holidays clear.

Put the student's name on the booking and the parent's email and phone. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note: ask for the school year and subjects at the trial lesson.

Create an online lesson service and send your video link by email: Book doesn't create video links. Rescheduling works across services, so a home lesson can become an online one when needed.

Families can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move or cancel the lesson from your list. State your notice policy in the description.

Book doesn't take payments, sell lesson packs or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with other tutors, create services per tutor. See the guide on exam revision peaks. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
