This page answers "how do I do this" questions briefly, in the words people ask them in, and points to the page that explains each thing in depth.

A student who comes every week on the same day and hour

A weekly slot: in the student card, in "Fixed weekly lessons", press "Assign to a slot" and choose the day, hour and length. Lessons are created for the next 12 weeks, and more are added every night. A weekly lesson counts as debt only after it took place. Details: Weekly slots.

A student paid for only some of the lessons

In "Mark payment" clear the tick on the lessons that were not paid and press "Mark as paid". Marking is by lessons. If you marked by mistake: "History" > the lesson > "Cancel payment". Details: Collection.

A student cancelled at the last minute

A cancellation in time (by your rules, for example 24 hours ahead) is not charged and earns a credit for a make-up lesson. A late cancellation stays charged like a lesson that took place, and if you want to waive the charge you cancel the lesson yourself from the calendar. A cancellation by the teacher is always free of charge. You set the rules in "Rules for students". Details: Cancelling and booking rules.

Sending a parent a payment reminder

In the student card press "WhatsApp", "SMS" or "Email" (the button appears only if a parent phone or email is saved), and a ready message opens with the list of lessons and the amount. You change the wording in "Settings". Details: Collection.

New students who join on their own

Create a "Join link" and send it, for example on WhatsApp. Whoever fills it in appears in "Waiting to be placed", and you approve and place them in a class. Until approval they do not count toward the students limit. Details: Self-registration.

Telling all the students about an extra session

"Publish a message": write one message and choose how to spread it: on the public profile, in one email to everyone, or on WhatsApp one by one. Details: Publishing a message.

Adding many students at once

In "Classes" press "Import students from a file" and choose an Excel or CSV file, match the columns, check the rows and confirm. Details: Importing students.

A special price for one student

For a regular student: in the card or in editing the student set a fixed lesson price. For a certain lesson: "History" > "Edit price". A price edited by hand does not change when you change a general rate. Details: Registering lessons.

A lesson for several students together

There is nothing to tick: a lesson with one student is private, and a lesson with two or more is a group lesson, and each of them is priced by the "Group lesson rate". You set both rates in "Settings". Details: Private or group.

Appearing in the portal and getting inquiries

You need the "Professional" plan, an active subscription, a filled-in public profile with the "Show me in the public search portal" tick, and an address. Fill it in and save from "Public profile" in "More". Details: The students portal.
