What makes lesson scheduling a chore

The Sunday night text thread

Rescheduling five students by text eats an evening. Give them a link with your open times instead.

Chasing lesson fees

Sell a block of 10 lessons. Parents pick the dates and pay once.

Lessons back to back

Add buffer time so you can reset the room before the next student walks in.
