Let’s get started!

Step 1: Invite your first student

Before you can schedule classes, you need to add a student to your account.

1. From your dashboard, click Students in the top navigation
2. Click the Add Student button

3. Fill in your student’s details:

   • First Name and Last Name – Your student’s name
   • Email – Where the invitation will be sent
   • Price per Class – Your rate per session (optional)
   • Initial Payment – If they’ve prepaid for classes (optional)

4. Click Add & Invite Student

Once you add the student, you’ll see an invitation link. Share this link with your student so they can create their account and accept the invitation.

Tip: You can schedule classes for students even before they accept their invitation. The class will appear on their calendar once they create their account.

Step 2: Set your availability

Tell Teeachie when you’re available to teach so the system can help prevent scheduling conflicts.

1. Click Availability in the top navigation
2. Click the Edit Global Availability button at the bottom of the calendar

3. For each day you teach:

   • Toggle the day on
   • Set your default start and end times

4. Click Save when you’re done

Note: This sets your default teaching hours. You can configure more detailed per-day time windows later from the calendar (see the availability article).

Tip: Your availability is shown in your local timezone. Students see times converted to their timezone automatically.

Step 3: Schedule your first class

Now let’s book a class with your student.

1. From your Dashboard, find the Schedule Class button in the quick actions toolbar at the top
2. Click Schedule Class to open the scheduling dialog

3. Select your student from the dropdown
4. Choose the class duration (e.g., 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes)
5. Pick an available date and time slot
6. Click Schedule Individual Class to confirm

Alternative: You can also schedule classes directly from a student’s profile by clicking on an available time slot in their calendar.

The class now appears on both your calendar and your student’s calendar (once they accept their invitation).

Step 4: Add your meeting link

Before your class, add the video call link so your student knows where to join.

1. Click on the scheduled class in your calendar, then choose Go to Class to open the Class Page
2. Find the Class Link section
3. Click Add Link to open the link dialog
4. Paste your Zoom, Google Meet, or other video call link
5. Click Save Changes

Your student will see this link when they view the class details.
