What eats a tutor's week, and what Lessonluma does about it.
Exam season: every family wants Sunday and you play calendar Tetris by text.
Families pick from your real open times. A cancellation opens the slot to the waitlist automatically.
Parents ask how it's going and you write the same update five times.
Two lines after each session, sent to the parent and kept on the student's timeline.
Session fees slip by a week, then a month.
Each session has a reference code; unpaid sessions get a polite reminder, and forwarded deposit emails match themselves.
Reminders, rainouts and nudges, sent for you.
What your students and their parents actually receive, written from your real times, places and prices:
Every text names you and says how to stop. Messages about a minor always copy a parent. Promotions only go to people who said yes.
Cancelled ice, closed gym, sick day? One tap tells everyone.
Tap Rain on a lesson, a clinic or a whole day. Everyone booked gets your next open times or a credit, and their calendar updates.
Your tutoring page, from one sentence.
“I tutor high-school math and physics at the library and online, an hour for CA$60, 10 sessions for CA$510, exam-prep group Sunday 2 pm for 6 at CA$30.”

Questions tutors ask
Can I tutor online?
Yes. Add "online" as a place and put your video link in the session details.
Can I run a small exam-prep group?
Yes, as a group session with a cap, a price per student and a waitlist.
Is a parent copied on messages to a minor?
Yes, always. The parent is the account, and there's no private tutor-to-child channel.
Can I sell a term of sessions?
Sell a pack the length of a term with an expiry, paid up front, and it counts down itself.
What does Lessonluma cost?
Free for up to 10 active students (anyone booked in the last 30 days), with cards at 3.9% + CA$0.30 and e-transfer and cash free. Solo is CA$19 a month (CA$190 a year) for unlimited students, text reminders and the rain button, with cards at Stripe's cost. We never take a cut of a lesson.
What happens after the trial, or in the off-season?
Your first 30 days unlock Solo with no card. On day 31 you're back on Free limits unless you pick a plan, and you're never locked out of your students. Off-season, pause for CA$0 for up to 6 months a year: your page, students and credits stay live, and a new booking wakes the plan.
