Please make sure that your availability calendar is always set correctly to reflect your schedule. If you know that you're not going to be available during certain dates, please use the weekly availability calendar to block those dates. We can't begin to stress how important this is, because, if this is a trial and you cancel their booking, they may pick a different teacher, or not come back at all.
Maintaining an accurate availability calendar is crucial for building trust with both new and existing students. When students book lessons based on your displayed availability and then receive cancellation notices, it creates a negative first impression that can be difficult to recover from, especially during trial lessons when families are deciding whether to commit to ongoing tutoring. The platform's search algorithm also prioritizes teachers with reliable availability patterns, so keeping your calendar current improves your visibility in student searches and increases your chances of attracting new clients. Update your availability at least weekly, and whenever you know about upcoming vacations, holidays, or schedule changes, block those dates immediately to prevent booking conflicts. Teachers with high cancellation rates due to outdated calendars may receive warnings from platform administrators and could eventually face account restrictions if the pattern continues, as reliable scheduling is essential to maintaining platform quality and student satisfaction.
