Take tutoring and lesson bookings in Telegram

Students and parents already message tutors in Telegram. A booking page and a course catalogue in the same chat save both sides a lot of messages.

Take tutoring and lesson bookings in Telegram

A private tutor or a small school can run lesson bookings inside Telegram with a Mini App. Students open it from the tutor's bot, choose a subject and a free time, and send the booking in the same chat. Tutors who also teach through recorded lessons can sell them as an online course from the same bot, with lessons and quizzes.

Why tutoring fits Telegram

Tutoring already runs on messages. Parents ask about times, students send homework photos, and lessons get moved when exams come up. Putting the booking page inside the same chat means the arrangement and the conversation stay together, instead of a calendar link in one place and questions in another.

Set up subjects and lesson types

List each lesson type as a service with its length and price: a 60-minute maths lesson, a 90-minute exam preparation session, a 30-minute trial lesson. Say the level clearly, such as school years or exam names, so a parent can tell at a glance whether it fits. A trial lesson at a low price is the easiest first booking for a new family.

Open the times you actually teach

The availability block shows students only the slots you open. Set your teaching hours once, and the page offers what is still free. When a booking comes in, you get it in Telegram with the student's name and contact, and you confirm it there.

Recorded lessons as a course

Many tutors explain the same topic every year. Recording it once and selling it as a course reaches students you do not have hours for. BotLaunch includes education modules for course delivery, lessons, quizzes, progress tracking and certificates, all set up from the dashboard. Students take the course in Telegram, where they already are.

Keep in touch between lessons

A short message after each lesson with what was covered and what to practise keeps students on track and parents informed. Over a term, these messages become the best proof that the lessons work, and parents forward them to other parents.

Frequently asked questions

Can students book lessons without an app?

Yes. The booking page is a Telegram Mini App that opens inside the chat with the tutor's bot.

Can I sell recorded lessons too?

Yes. BotLaunch has education modules for course delivery, lessons, quizzes, progress tracking and certificates.

Should I offer a trial lesson?

It is a common first step for new students. List it as a separate short service with its own price.
