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.
