AI chatbot for tutoring businesses that answers parent questions and books sessions

Your scheduling software starts once a family has signed up. This AI chatbot handles the step before: the parent on your website at 8:30pm with a report card in hand, asking about subjects, levels, rates and background checks, often while they wait to hear back from two other tutors.

Why it matters

Report-card night

A parent opens their son's report card at 8:30pm, sees a D in Algebra II, and looks for a math tutor nearby. They send your contact form two questions: do you cover Algebra II, and are your tutors background checked? They send the same two questions to two other tutors.

You're teaching until 8 on weekdays and reply the next evening. By then another tutor has answered, offered a free first session and booked it, and a family who'd have come every week until finals is gone before you've said hello.

Both answers were already on your subjects and safety pages. With the assistant on the site, the parent reads them at 8:31, gets offered your free assessment, and leaves a name and number that reaches your inbox before your last student packs up.

What they see, and what your assistant is doing at each step.
  1. Do you tutor Algebra II? Are tutors background checked?

    Answers from your subjects and safety pages

  2. Yes. We cover high school math from Algebra I through calculus, online or in person, and all our tutors have background checks, as our safety page explains. Which grade is your child in?

    Only states subjects and checks your site publishes

  3. 10th grade. Can you get him to an A by summer?
  4. We can't promise a grade, but a tutor can assess where he is and plan from there. Our first assessment is free. Can I take your name and number to arrange it?

    Never promises a grade; offers your free assessment

Ask a sample assistant yourself

This one works for a made-up business, under the same rules a real business of this type gets. Ask it a few questions and watch what it answers, what it hands to a person and what it takes down.

What customers ask

What parents ask before they book

  • Do you cover my child's subject and level?
  • What are your rates, and do you have packages?
  • Online or in person?
  • Are your tutors background checked?
  • Do you have after-school or weekend slots?
  • Is the first session or assessment free?
  • How will I know how they're doing?
  • What's your cancellation policy?

It answers these from your own website, and hands over any it can't.

What it does

What it does for you

  • Answers subject, level and rate questions

    Subjects, grade levels and exams, online or in-person options, rates and packages, all from your website.

  • Talks to the parent

    Notes whether it's speaking to a parent or a student, and takes a parent's details for the booking.

  • Books the assessment

    Offers your free assessment or consultation if your site has one, and opens your booking page, inside the chat if it's on Calendly. With Google Calendar connected it offers open slots at the lesson length you set, inside the hours you set, so evening slots appear only if you teach evenings.

  • Passes on what needs a person

    Questions about a child's needs, progress, a diagnosis or wellbeing go to you, not to the assistant.

Rules it follows

Your tools

Works alongside your tutoring business software

TutorBird, Teachworks or TutorCruncher keeps the schedule, invoices and student records, and it doesn't connect to them. Each inquiry reaches you by email with the grade and subject, a webhook can pass it through Zapier or Make, and parents who are ready can go straight to your booking page.

Questions

Common questions

Is this tutoring management software like TutorBird or Teachworks?

No. Those run lessons once a family signs up: scheduling, invoices, tutor pay. This answers new families on your website before they sign up and sends you the inquiry. You keep your management software exactly as it is.

What does it cost, and how long does setup take?

There's a free plan with 100 customer messages a month and no card, and paid plans start at $19 a month. Paste your website address and it reads your subjects, rates and policies in about a minute. To go live, add one line of code to your site or install the WordPress plugin.

Can it offer a free assessment or trial lesson?

Only if your website offers one, and in your terms: free or paid, how long, online or in person. It never invents a trial or a discount to close a family.

Will it tell a parent which tutor is best for their child?

No. It won't rank your tutors or suggest one will get better results. It tells parents what subjects, levels and formats your site lists, takes the details, and leaves the match to you.

What happens if a student, not a parent, starts the chat?

It answers general questions about subjects and rates the same way. If the student says they're under 13, it doesn't take their name, contact details or school, and asks for a parent or guardian to get in touch. With an older student, it notes who it's talking to and asks for a parent's details where it can.

Is parent and student information kept private?

It collects only what you need to get in touch, doesn't take details from a child who says they're under 13, and our privacy policy sets out where information goes.
