Question 1

How does the online booking calendar work for tuition slots?

Accepted Answer

You set your available lesson slots by subject, level, day, and time. Parents or students visit your booking page and pick an available slot. They confirm, receive a WhatsApp confirmation, and the slot is blocked for them. You get a notification. Rescheduling works the same way — they request a new slot from your available times and the old slot reopens automatically. No WhatsApp coordination required from you.

Question 2

How does PayNow integration work for tuition fee collection?

Accepted Answer

You set the monthly fee for each student or class. On your billing date, Suriya sends each parent a WhatsApp message with the fee amount and your PayNow QR code. When they pay, you get a notification. For students with outstanding fees after 7 days, Suriya sends a polite automated reminder. You can see at a glance which students have paid and which have outstanding balances — no manual tracking needed.

Question 3

Can I manage both home tuition and group classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can set up individual (1-to-1) bookings and group class slots with a maximum capacity. Group classes stop accepting bookings when full automatically. For home tuition, you can set travel time buffers between sessions so your calendar doesn't get double-booked. Each student type can have different pricing and session duration.

Question 4

What happens if a student needs to reschedule or take a makeup lesson?

Accepted Answer

When a student cancels, the slot reopens in your calendar. If they need a makeup lesson (within your makeup policy), they can book an available makeup slot from your calendar. Makeup sessions are tagged separately in your attendance record so you can track which students have outstanding makeups. You can set your makeup lesson policy (e.g. only one makeup per month, must be used within 30 days).

Question 5

Is S$29/month worth it for a part-time Singapore tutor?

Accepted Answer

At S$29/month, Suriya costs less than a single Primary school tuition session. For a tutor with even 5 students, the automated fee collection alone saves hours of awkward follow-up each month. The online booking system saves time you'd spend on WhatsApp scheduling. The attendance records and billing reports are useful for tax purposes — Singapore freelance tutors can deduct business expenses. Most tutors find Suriya pays for itself within the first week.
