Afternoons fill up, and parents ask in the evening
Most of your lessons fall between school and dinner, so the same few hours get requested by many families. Parents write to you at night, you reply the next day, and that afternoon slot may already be gone.
On your booking page, a parent or a student sees only the times that are free, picks one, and books without registering. They get a WhatsApp confirmation, so the lesson is not left to a vague message.
Lesson lengths that match how you teach
Each lesson type is a service with its own duration and price, and you decide the order they appear in. Prices belong to the service, so they stay consistent whoever is booking.
- A first lesson to get to know the student
- A 45-minute lesson
- A 60-minute lesson
- A longer lesson before an exam
- Categories by subject, for example maths and English
Afternoon hours, holidays and school breaks
Set working hours that cover only the afternoons you teach, and add days off for holidays and the weeks when school is closed. Parents will not see times you are not available. A break between appointments gives you time to reset between students.
Regular students book their next lesson from the same link, and can change or cancel from the link in the WhatsApp confirmation. With the Pro plan, automatic WhatsApp reminders go out from your own number in wording you write.
Several tutors, or your own subjects
If you teach with a few colleagues, each tutor has their own hours and a personal booking link, while the business page shows everyone. A waiting list lets you offer a freed-up afternoon in one tap.
Lumea schedules the lessons. It does not keep student records or progress, and it does not take payment when booking. It is the simple part that gets a parent from message to a confirmed time.

Questions
Can a parent book for their child?
Yes. Anyone with your link can book, whether it is a parent or the student, and no registration is needed. The WhatsApp confirmation goes to the number they enter.
Can I block school-holiday weeks?
Yes. Add holidays or days off to your working hours and those days will not appear as available on the booking page.
Will lessons repeat automatically every week?
No. Each lesson is booked on its own. Regular students use the same link to book their next time, and you can see the whole week in your calendar.
