Free online booking for tutors
What you see. A sample dashboard, shown with a cleaning business's bookings.
What your clients see. The tutor starter page, before you change anything.
TutorBird and Wise are built for tutoring centers. If you tutor on your own, 1MinuteBooking books and sells your sessions, free.
Every booking asks the student's subject and grade, so you can prepare before you meet. Add your own required questions too. See the booking page
A 5- or 10-session package books the first session, and students book the rest from their own link once it's paid for. How packages work
Book a weekly student for up to 26 sessions at once, and each one can still be moved on its own. How repeating bookings work
No add-ons to buy and no per-feature upgrades. Pro, at $10 a month, only adds your branding, Excel export and analytics.
Clients pay a deposit or the full price by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay as they book, straight into your own Stripe account. How it works
Bookings are confirmed the moment they come in, with a confirmation email. Bookings that look risky still wait for you. How it works
Clients get the date, time and address by email 24 hours before, or when you choose. How it works
A Manage booking button lets clients move or cancel up to a cutoff you set. You get an email for every change. How it works
When you mark a booking Completed, the client gets a Book again button with their last booking filled in. How it works
Every booking shows up in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar, and moves and cancellations update by themselves. How it works
Paste one line of code, and clients book and pay right on your site.
