Why it matters
Report-card night
A parent opens their son's mock exam results at 8:30pm and looks for a math tutor nearby. They send your contact form: do you cover the higher level, and are your tutors background checked?
You're teaching until 8 on weekdays and reply the next evening. By then they've booked a free assessment with a provider whose website answered both questions and offered a time.

Example conversation
A parent after the mock exams
- Do you tutor high school math for the advanced level? Are tutors background checked?
Answers from your subjects and safeguarding pages
- Yes, we tutor high school math at every level, online or in person. All our tutors have background checks, as our safeguarding page explains. Which grade is your child in?
Only states checks your site publishes
- 10th grade. Can you get him to an A by summer?
- 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

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.

Passes on what needs a person
Questions about a child's needs, progress or wellbeing go to you, not to the assistant.
Rules it follows
Built around the rules tutoring businesses work under
Never promises a grade
In 2014 the FTC settled with a company that promised parents grade and test-score gains. The assistant never promises or implies an improvement.
Children under 13 go to a parent
COPPA covers personal information collected from children under 13. If someone says they're under 13, it doesn't take their details and asks for a parent or guardian to get in touch.
Safety questions answered from your policies
Background checks and safeguarding are answered only from what your site publishes, and anything a child shares about their safety goes straight to a person.

Questions
Common questions
What's the best software for a tutoring business?
Usually two kinds: scheduling and billing software to run lessons, and something to answer new families before they sign up. This is the second kind, and it works alongside the first.
How do I get more clients for my tutoring business?
Be the provider who answers first, with the specifics a parent needs: subject, level, price, safety checks, and a time for an assessment. This does that on your website, evenings and weekends included.
Does it work with my tutor scheduling software?
It works alongside it. Leads reach you by text and email, or your other tools through a webhook, and it can link to your booking page.
Can it match students with the right tutor?
It takes the subject, level and availability, and hands the match to you. Choosing a tutor is your decision.
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.
