New: What’s changed with lesson suggestions for tutors?

We’ve updated how tutors suggest lessons on the platform, making it easier to manage bookings and reduce back-and-forth with clients.

You can now:

• Send formal booking requests to clients through lesson suggestions – when a client accepts, the lesson is booked straight away with no further confirmation needed

• Suggest recurring lessons as a tutor – quickly suggest a block of weekly lessons

• Send lesson suggestions from your Bookings tab

When you suggest a lesson to a client, this now works as a formal lesson request.

This means:

• Your lesson suggestion will appear in your Pending tab under Tutor suggestions, not just in the chat

• Your client will also see the suggestion in their own Pending tab under Tutor suggestions

• Once your client confirms your suggestion the lesson is booked – you don’t need to confirm it again

Until your client responds, you can track your lesson suggestions in the Pending tab under Tutor suggestions.

Once accepted, the lessons will move to your Upcoming bookings and appear in your schedule as normal.

You can now suggest recurring lessons. After selecting a time slot, choose Recurring lesson instead of a One off lesson.

You’ll then be prompted to set how long the lessons should run – either until a specific date or for a set number of weeks.

This makes it easier to secure regular bookings, maintain continuity with your clients, and keep your weekly schedule consistent – without needing to send multiple lesson suggestions or chase clients for requests.

When suggesting lessons, the system will automatically check whether you or your student are already booked at that time on the platform.

If either of you aren't available, you won’t be able to suggest that slot, and you’ll be notified. This helps avoid clashes with existing bookings.

• Clients can’t suggest alternatives to a suggested time or date

• If a client wants a different time, they’ll need to reject the suggestion and send a new lesson request

• You can still suggest lessons from the chat and from a student’s profile

• Clients can still request lessons from you as normal

• A lesson suggestion is only booked once the client confirms the suggestion (but you no longer have to reconfirm it)

• Once booked, lessons can be managed from your Upcoming bookings
