The paperwork
Can parents book for their children?Yes. Whoever books gives their own name and email, and every new lesson asks who it's for, so you know the student's name and level.
Do students need an app or an account?No. They book in any browser and get a link to change or cancel until your cutoff.
Can I teach online and in person?Yes. Each lesson type has its own place: a video link, your address, the student's address or anything you write.
Can I book weekly lessons?Yes. Book them once as a series: every week, every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks, for up to a year. Whoever booked gets one email with every date and a calendar file that adds them all, and each lesson keeps its own reminders.
What if a student is in another country?For online lessons, open times show in the student's own time zone, and you see their local time beside the lesson.
Can I teach a group?Not yet. Each booking is one student, and an online lesson can add up to five guests to the invite, a parent for instance.
