Recurring weekly lessons
Set a slot once and it holds the same hour every week across the whole term.
Let parents and students book trial lessons, weekly slots and packages on your own branded page, with deposits and reminders handled for you. Built for Lebanon, in Arabic and English.
Most lessons repeat at the same time every week, so set a slot once and keep it reserved across the whole term. Students and parents see their fixed Tuesday 5pm spot, not a blank calendar to fight over. When a week is cancelled, that single session frees up without breaking the rest of the booking.
See how it worksFrom the first trial lesson to a full term of weekly sessions, all in one place.
Set a slot once and it holds the same hour every week across the whole term.
Students and parents pick the right tutor for maths, English or music, or take the next free one.
Offer a one-off trial that converts into a standing weekly booking in a few taps.
Sell lesson packages and take deposits upfront in LBP or USD before the term starts.
Reminders go to the parent who books, so the child shows up and the slot is paid.
Add your services such as 1:1 lessons, group sessions, trials and assessments, each with the right duration. Set them up per subject and level so the menu matches how you actually teach.
Create a profile for each tutor with the subjects they cover and their weekly availability. Online and in-person hours can differ, and buffers between lessons stop back-to-back overload.
Sell term packages and memberships, connect Whish Pay for LBP and USD payments, and switch on WhatsApp confirmations and reminders. Add a deposit rule for trials if you want it.
Send your branded yourcentre.hjezle.com link to parents and post it everywhere your students find you. They book recurring slots, trials and packages around the clock.

A tutoring business lives on the calendar more than almost any other trade. Lessons repeat weekly, parents book for their children, students miss a week and need a make-up, and a single trial decides whether someone stays for a term. This guide covers how to set up online booking so the recurring week runs itself and you spend your time teaching, not texting.
Parents scanning your page are not fluent in your scheduling. Name your services the way they think: 1:1 lesson, group session, trial lesson, assessment, and split them by subject and level where it matters, such as Grade 10 chemistry or beginner piano. Clear names mean fewer wrong bookings and fewer clarifying messages.
Give each lesson a realistic duration and price in both LBP and USD, since families in Lebanon think in both. A 60-minute private lesson and a 90-minute group session should look different on the page because they run differently. When the menu mirrors reality, the calendar fills in correctly without you fixing it afterwards.
A lesson is not just the contact hour. There is setup, a quick word with the parent at the door, and time to reset before the next student. Build short buffers between lessons so your day does not collapse the moment one session runs five minutes long.
Online and in-person lessons often need different gaps. An in-person student needs travel and arrival room, while back-to-back online calls can run tighter. Set durations and buffers per service so each type books with the breathing room it actually needs.
The heart of tutoring is the standing weekly slot across a term. Set up bookings so a student can hold the same time every week instead of rebooking from scratch, and so that time stays reserved against other students. This is what keeps your schedule stable from September to June.
When one week needs to move, treat it as a single change, not a reason to tear down the whole arrangement. A student who is sick on Wednesday should be able to release just that lesson and slot a make-up, while their regular Wednesday stays put for the following week.
Most school-age lessons are booked by a parent, not the student. Make it easy to enter the child's name and level while the parent's WhatsApp number is the one that gets the confirmations and reminders. The reminder needs to reach the adult who runs the schedule.
Keep the few details that change the lesson and skip the rest. The child's grade, the subject, whether it is online or in-person, and any exam coming up are worth asking. A long form scares parents off, so collect only what helps the tutor walk in prepared.
A trial or assessment is how a hesitant family tries you before committing to a term. Make it a clearly priced, easy-to-book service of its own, sitting right at the top of your page. The lower the friction on the trial, the more steady students you sign.
Decide what happens after the trial before it even runs. The tutor's notes, the right level, and a suggested package or weekly slot should be ready so you can convert the family the same week. A great trial that never gets followed up is a student lost to a quicker competitor.
Single-lesson bookings are fine for trials, but your income gets steady with packages: ten-lesson bundles, monthly plans or full-term memberships. Sell these through your page and let parents pay with Whish Pay in LBP or USD, so the money is sorted before the term starts.
Deposits protect the slots people most want. Asking for a deposit on the trial or first paid lesson filters out the families who book five tutors and show up for none. Committed students hold their place, your peak after-school hours stop being wasted, and casual no-shows quietly disappear.
A forgotten lesson is lost income and a gap a waiting student could have used. Send confirmations when the booking is made and reminders the day before over WhatsApp, where Lebanese families actually read messages, not buried email. The tone should be a friendly nudge, not a robotic alert.
Put a one-tap reschedule link in every reminder so a clash becomes a new time instead of a silent no-show. When a parent realises on Thursday morning that the lesson does not work, the easy move should be rebooking, not vanishing. Easy rescheduling keeps the relationship and the revenue.
Plenty of tutors mix in-person sessions with online calls, and some teach across two centres or branches. Mark each lesson as online or in-person, and use multi-location if you teach from more than one place, so nobody books an in-person slot with a tutor who is online that day.
If you run a centre with several tutors and locations, per-branch reporting and a branch-accountant role keep each site's bookings and revenue clear. The front desk sees one clean schedule, while each branch keeps its own numbers without manual sorting.
Cancellation windows, make-up rules and deposit terms cause friction only when they are a surprise. Show them on the booking page and inside the confirmation, in both Arabic and English, so every family agrees to the same terms up front. Clear rules prevent awkward arguments later.
Be specific about the things parents ask most: how far ahead they can cancel without losing a lesson, how make-ups work, and what a package covers. When the answer is already written where they booked, your phone stops buzzing with the same three questions every week.
You do not need a heavy dashboard to run a tutoring business well. Watch how many trials turn into regular students, how full each tutor's week is, and how many lessons each package has left. Those few numbers tell you where to spend your effort.
Simple reports and a customer database let you see your busiest hours and your steadiest families at a glance. If one tutor is fully booked while another has gaps, you can shift trials and new students toward the gap and keep the whole centre balanced.
Yes. Recurring weekly slots are the core of Hjezle for tutoring, so a student can hold the same time every week across the term instead of rebooking each time. If one week needs to move, you release just that single lesson and the regular slot stays in place. The whole arrangement is managed from one clean schedule.
Yes. A parent can book on behalf of their child, entering the child's name and level while their own WhatsApp number receives the confirmations and reminders. That way the reminders reach the adult who actually runs the schedule. The booking page works in Arabic and English with full right-to-left layout.
You can sell packages such as ten-lesson bundles or full-term plans, and parents pay through Whish Pay in LBP or USD. Each package tracks how many lessons remain, so nobody loses count. You can also take a deposit on trial or first lessons to make sure committed students hold their place.
Confirmations and reminders go out over WhatsApp, where families in Lebanon actually read their messages. Every reminder includes a one-tap reschedule link, so a missed lesson turns into a make-up instead of a silent no-show. This is the simplest way to cut forgotten lessons and keep your week full.
Yes. Each lesson can be marked as online or in-person, and tutors can keep different hours for each. If you teach from more than one centre, multi-location support and per-branch reporting keep each site's bookings and revenue separate. The front desk still sees one combined schedule.
No. You get your own branded booking page at yourcentre.hjezle.com, which you share in your Instagram bio, WhatsApp profile and parent groups. Students and parents book 24/7 with no app to install and no account to create. You can be live within a free trial, with no credit card needed to start.
