How to send a lesson suggestion

Tutors can’t book lessons directly on behalf of students or billpayers, as clients need to confirm their payment details and agree to the platform’s terms and conditions.

However, tutors can send lesson suggestions, which allow students or billpayers to book lessons based on the slots you suggest.

Lesson suggestions are sent by tutors to students or billpayers. You can send them from your dashboard using the Suggest a lesson slot button, based on the availability you’ve set in your calendar.

Lesson suggestions now act as formal booking requests. This means:

• Your suggestion appears in your Pending tab under Tutor suggestions

• Your client will also see it in their Pending tab

• Once your client accepts, the lesson is booked instantly – no further confirmation needed

You can send lesson suggestions from the Bookings section of your dashboard:

This form also allows you to search for specific students:

You can also suggest a lesson next to the chat with your client:

Or, from the billpayer or student profile page:

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

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

You can also suggest recurring lessons.

After selecting a time slot, choose Recurring lesson instead of a one-off lesson, then set:

• A specific end date, or

• A number of weeks

This makes it easier to secure regular bookings without sending multiple suggestions.
