Tutor Booking lets instructors offer one-on-one or small-group sessions that students book into a schedule, alongside your regular courses. Students pick an available date and time, and both sides see the confirmed booking from their own dashboard.

Note: Tutor Booking is a Pro add-on of Academy LMS.

Before you start

Academy LMS and Academy Pro installed and active.

Step 1: Enable the Tutor Booking add-on

Go to Academy LMS → Add-ons, find Tutor Booking, and turn it on.

Tutor booking addon activation

Once enabled, a new Tutor Bookings menu appears in the sidebar, with All Bookings, Category, Tags and Booked Schedules.

Step 2: Add a booking

From Tutor Bookings → All Bookings, click Add New Booking. Give it a Booking Title and, optionally, Booking Content.

In the Settings panel, set:

1.Class Types: Live Class or Pre-Recorded.
2.Auto Meeting: automatically create a Zoom or Google Meet link for the session using the instructor’s meeting credentials. Leave it on Select… if you don’t need this.
3.Booking Type: Free or Paid. Paid bookings need a WooCommerce product, the same way a paid course does.

Step 3: Set the duration and schedule

Scroll down to finish the settings:

Duration and schedule
Time Zone: defaults to your site’s time zone.
Duration: how long each session lasts, in minutes. Type any value, it isn’t limited to fixed options.
Booking Limit: how many students can book the same slot (0 means no limit).
Allow Re-schedule and Allow Cancel: let students move or cancel their own booking after confirming it.

Then choose how the booking repeats:

Single Time: pick one Schedule Date and a start and end time.
Repeated Days: pick one or more days of the week. Use Add Fields to add another time range to a day, and Add Day to add another day.

You can also set a Booking Image, and organize the booking with a Booking Category and Booking Tags.

How students book a session

Students open the Tutor Booking link in the site menu, pick the subject they want, and choose an available date and time from the schedule shown. Once confirmed, the booking appears on the student’s dashboard under My Booking, and on the instructor’s dashboard alongside their other bookings, where they can also add new ones.

Troubleshooting

If a Paid booking doesn’t show a price option, check that a payment engine (WooCommerce, for example) is installed, active, and set as Academy’s eCommerce engine in Academy Settings.
