Booking system for local services
The booking system for private tutors
A parent wants a maths tutor before the exams. They message a few. The tutor who answers and books the first lesson gets weeks of work.
Sound familiar?
Why private tutors lose work to the phone.
A weekly tutoring slot runs for a term or more at £25 to £40 a lesson. Missing the first enquiry loses months of lessons.
You are teaching, not answering
Every hour is a lesson, exactly when parents are free to reach out in the evening. New enquiries ring out while you are teaching.
Parents book once they are settled
Enquiries land after the kids are down, long after office hours. subba answers then and books the first lesson.
Weekly lessons need steady rebooking
Tutoring is a recurring weekly slot for a term or more. subba books the block and handles reschedules, so your timetable stays full.
How subba helps
An online diary that fills itself.
Bookings that land in your diary
Customers pick a real free slot and book themselves in. No back and forth, no double bookings, it is in your calendar the moment they confirm.
Take the payment or a deposit
Collect a deposit or the full amount into your own Stripe at the point of booking. Fewer no-shows, and the money is yours the same day.
An AI receptionist on top
And when someone rings or messages instead of booking online, subba answers as a tutor, day and night, and books them in too. One system, every enquiry caught.
Reminders that cut no-shows
Automatic reminders by text and email before every appointment, with easy rescheduling, so your slots stay filled and your day runs to plan.
Your services, online
Customers pick, book and pay.
subba shows your real services and prices, offers only your genuine free slots, and books straight into your diary. Here is how a tutor setup might look.
Most services take a message. subba books the job.
A call answering service jots down a name and number and hands it back to you to chase. subba checks your diary, books the appointment, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation, all before you have put your tools down. For private tutors, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.
Questions
Tutor FAQs.
Can it set up a regular weekly lesson?
Yes. subba books the first lesson and can put the student on a recurring weekly slot, then handle reminders and reschedules, so your timetable stays full and settled.
Does it answer while I am teaching?
Always. Every hour you are with a student, subba is answering new parents and booking them in, so you never lose weeks of lessons to a missed call.
How quickly can I get set up?
If you already have a website, subba plugs in with a one-line change and you can be live the same day. If you need a website, our Managed plan builds you a booking site and sets up your domain, usually live in about 5 working days.
What does it cost?
Plans start at £9.99 a month and every plan takes unlimited bookings. You only pay more as your enquiry volume grows. There is no setup fee unless you want us to build your website too, and you can cancel anytime.
