Accessing Your Settings
Go to Settings from the menu to manage your account. Here you'll find options for your profile, notifications, and preferences.
Profile Settings
Personal Information
Update your basic details:
- Name — How tutors will address you
- Email — Used for booking confirmations and notifications
- Profile photo — Helps tutors recognise you
- Bio — Optional, but useful for telling tutors about your learning goals
Timezone
Your timezone is auto-detected when you sign up, but you can change it at any time. This is important — all booking times are displayed based on your timezone setting.
Go to Settings > Profile and select the correct timezone from the dropdown.
Language Preferences
Set your preferences for:
- Interface language — The language TutorLingua displays in (English or Spanish)
- Learning language — The language you're studying (affects game and AI practice)
Notifications
Control how and when you receive notifications:
Email Notifications
- Booking confirmations — When a lesson is booked or confirmed
- Lesson reminders — Sent before upcoming lessons
- Cancellation alerts — When a tutor cancels or reschedules
- Game reminders — Daily nudge to play the language game
Push Notifications
If you've installed TutorLingua as a progressive web app (PWA), you can receive push notifications on your device.
Toggle each notification type on or off in Settings > Notifications.
Managing Your Bookings
