The Problem

Why do tutors lose students to scheduling friction?

Independent tutors often juggle bookings from both parents and students for the same slots, manage surges during exam season, and spend precious time confirming recurring weekly lessons by hand. Tymeslot puts the booking process on autopilot: parents or students pick a slot from your live availability, receive a confirmation with a video link, and get automatic reminders — so your week fills itself.

Features

Everything Tutors need. Nothing they don't.

Purpose-built scheduling features for your practice — without the bloat.

👥

Parent & Student Self-Booking

Parents can book on behalf of their children, or students can book directly — each sees only your available slots, preventing double-bookings automatically.

📅

Recurring Weekly Lessons

Students lock in the same slot each week with a single booking action. You see the whole term at a glance without manual re-entry.

🌍

Timezone-Aware Scheduling

Online tutors with students in different countries: each person books in their own timezone, you see every lesson in yours. DST handled automatically.

🎥

Auto Video Room Links

Google Meet or MiroTalk links generated automatically with every booking — no copying links into separate emails before each session.

Booking Caps & Advance Limits

Set a maximum number of bookings per week to manage exam-season surges, and define how far ahead students can schedule to keep your calendar predictable.

Use Cases

Common scheduling scenarios

How other Tutors use Tymeslot every day.

Scenario 1

How do tutors manage recurring weekly lessons without the admin overhead?

Most tutoring relationships run on a fixed weekly schedule, but setting those up manually — and updating them when terms change — eats into preparation time.

  • Create a recurring lesson event type with your preferred durations (50 min, 60 min) and set a booking horizon matching the school term.
  • Share your booking link with the student or parent; they pick their preferred weekly slot and confirm.
  • Tymeslot schedules all recurring instances automatically and sends a reminder before each one.
  • When a lesson needs rescheduling, the student cancels their slot and re-books — no messages needed.
Result: A full term of lessons scheduled in minutes, with zero follow-up admin.
📞
Scenario 2

How do tutors handle the exam-season booking surge?

As GCSE, A-level, or IB exams approach, demand spikes sharply. Without controls, tutors become overbooked and burn out.

  • Set a weekly booking cap on your intensive exam-prep event type to limit the number of new students you take on.
  • Define minimum advance notice so students cannot book a session for the next morning.
  • Existing recurring students keep their slots; new students join a waitlist or book into remaining capacity.
  • After exams, remove the cap and return to standard availability — all in one settings change.
Result: Controlled, sustainable demand through the busiest weeks of the tutoring year.

Scenario 3

How do tutors serving international students handle timezone differences?

Online tutors often work with students in different countries. Scheduling across timezones manually leads to missed lessons and confused parents.

  • Tymeslot detects each visitor's timezone automatically when they open your booking page.
  • The availability grid displays your slots converted to the student's local time — no mental arithmetic required.
  • The confirmation email shows the lesson time in both the student's timezone and yours.
  • DST changes are adjusted automatically, so a 4 pm lesson in London always appears as 5 pm in Paris — even as clocks change.
Result: No more missed lessons due to timezone confusion, regardless of where your students are.
