Your Booking Page

Every TutorLingua tutor gets a unique booking page at:

tutorlingua.co/book/yourusername

This is the link you share with students for them to book lessons.

The Student Booking Flow

Here's what students see when they visit your booking page:

1. Choose a Service

Students first select the type of lesson they want from your available services. They'll see:

  • Service name
  • Duration
  • Price
  • Description

2. Select a Date & Time

After choosing a service, students see a calendar with your available time slots:

  • Only times you've set as available appear
  • Times blocked by your connected calendar are hidden
  • All times display in the student's local timezone

3. Enter Their Information

Students provide their contact details:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone (optional)
  • Timezone
  • Notes about what they want to learn

4. Choose Payment Method

Depending on your settings, students can:

  • Pay with card (if Stripe Connect is enabled)
  • Use a session package (if they've purchased one)
  • Pay later (if you accept manual payments)

5. Confirmation

After booking, students receive:

  • An email confirmation with lesson details
  • A calendar invite (if enabled)
  • Your meeting link or instructions
