WhatsApp appointment reminders for tutoring: confirmation on every booking, a reminder before the lesson, to the parent's phone. No cost per message.

Confirmation on booking, a reminder before the lesson, to the parent's phone. You don't type a single message.

## One message. And a full Thursday.

- Booked, and the confirmation is already out. As soon as a mother has picked subject, tutor and time through your link, the WhatsApp with service, date and time goes out. No account, no app, within seconds, even on a Sunday evening. The lesson is confirmed from the first minute.
- Payment up front plus reminder. Doubly safe. On the block of ten before the exams you take the full price up front through Stripe, on the trial lesson the reminder is enough. Both you set per service. Whoever has paid and been reminded is at the table on Thursday at four.
- Booked by phone. Reminded all the same. When the AI phone assistant books a lesson while you're explaining equations, the reminder runs along exactly as it does for every online booking. Confirmation straight away, reminder beforehand, status on the appointment. No channel falls through, not even the parents' call after dinner.
- Your number. Your tone. Your instructions. You connect your own WhatsApp. A week before, 24 hours before, 2 hours before or a time of your own, every message with its own text: which book, the video-call link. Whoever can't make it writes back into your chat. No cost per message.
- Status on every lesson. With every tutor. In the calendar every lesson shows whether the reminder is out: sent, scheduled, failed. With Ms Lindner in maths just like with Mr Aydin in English, on the regular Thursday slot just like on the extra lesson before a test. No checking, no rewriting.
- Reminds you too. On the watch. If you want, your own phone reminds you before every lesson, even offline. The next lesson sits on the smartwatch, without the phone lying next to the exercise book. Web app, app, watch: one account for the whole centre, the same picture.

## Common questions

**Do the messages come from my number?** Yes. You connect your WhatsApp in the app with a QR code, and your number stays your number. Parents see the tutoring business they know, and whoever can't make it replies straight into your chat instead of calling while you're teaching.

**Does the reminder go to the parents or to the pupil?** To the mobile number given at booking. If the mother books, she gets confirmation and reminder; if the pupil in year twelve books herself, she gets both. The WhatsApp appointment reminder for tutoring lands with the person who organises the lesson anyway.

**When should the reminder before a lesson go out?** The classic is 24 hours before, the most effective message against forgotten appointments. For the regular slot that's mostly enough; before A-level preparation a week before pays off too, so the block is in the family calendar. Two hours before or a time of your own work as well, every reminder switched on and off individually.

**Can I tell the pupil in the reminder what to bring?** Yes. You write the text once, the way you speak: which book, which exercises, the video-call link for online lessons. Name, date, time and service terminio fills in when sending. While writing you see the message exactly as it reaches the parents.

**What does a WhatsApp appointment reminder cost?** Nothing per message. The Free plan includes five reminders a month, from Pro they are unlimited. No SMS fees, no credit to top up. Pro you can try free for seven days and cancel monthly.

**Does this really help against no-shows in tutoring?** Every empty lesson costs anyway: the tutor is sitting there, the room is reserved, the sixty minutes are gone. A short WhatsApp appointment reminder beforehand brings most of them back. You set it up once, and from then on terminio writes, even while you're teaching.
