What a tutor needs from a booking app
Same time, every week
Weekly term lessons repeat for a 10-week term from one booking. If a week is missed, the parent can request a make-up and you arrange the time.
In person or online
In-person sessions, online sessions, and a free 45-minute assessment for new students, each its own service with its own price.
Paid when it's booked
Single sessions are paid in full by card at booking, into your own Stripe account, once you connect it. A term booking pays the first lesson up front; you invoice the rest.
A tutoring booking page, with your sessions already on it
Pick Tutoring & coaching at sign-up and these services, prices and booking questions are pre-filled. Change anything, or let AI draft them for you.
One term booking, start to finish
Sunday night, a parent books the term
She picks Weekly term lessons, Tuesday at 4 pm, and answers five questions: the student's name, year level, subject, how they're going and what they're aiming for. Ten weeks go onto your calendar from one booking.
The first lesson is paid
$75 for the first lesson is paid by card as she books, into your own Stripe account. The other nine weeks sit on the calendar as bookings you invoice as the term goes.
Every Tuesday, a reminder
A free email reminder goes out the day before each lesson. If the student is sick one week, you mark it a no-show and the parent can request a make-up, one per term by default, which you schedule when it suits.
Online when it has to be
An online session is its own service and the booking shows it as Online. Send your video-call link from the booking, and the lesson goes ahead from anywhere.
You do the work.
We'll handle the money.
Take a card deposit when they book — through your own Stripe account, so the money lands with you, never with us. Settle the rest by card, bank transfer or cash and the invoice goes out on its own — a GST tax invoice if you’re registered. No monthly fee: 1.5% on card payments, 50¢ when you record a cash or bank payment.
Questions tutors ask us
Can parents book the same slot every week?
Yes. The Tutoring & coaching setup includes Weekly term lessons: a parent books Tuesday 4 pm once and it repeats for a 10-week term. If a week is missed, they can request a make-up and you arrange the time.
Do online sessions work?
Yes. An online session is a service like any other, with its own price, and the booking shows it as Online. Send your video-call link from the booking, by email or SMS.
Can I offer a free assessment?
Yes. The setup includes a free 45-minute assessment so new families can try you out. Sessions after that are paid by card when booked.
When do I get paid?
A single session is paid in full by card when it's booked, through your own Stripe account, so the money is yours before the lesson. A term booking pays the first lesson at booking and you invoice the rest, which parents can pay by card, bank transfer or cash.
What do I see before the lesson?
The student's name, year level, subject, how they're going with it and their learning goals, all asked at booking and kept with it.
How much does it cost a tutor?
There is no monthly fee. GoBookka charges 1.5% on card payments and 50c when you record a cash or bank transfer payment, and every new business gets $20 of launch credit at signup.
