    A new session for Sara on 1 October at 4:00 PM for 90 minutes, its total AED 330 at her rate.
  4. Optional: Type the Subject, for example Physics.

    It shows on your calendar as Scheduled.

Good to know

  • The session keeps the rate the student has today. A new rate later never changes it: see Set your hourly rates.
  • To charge a different amount for this one session, type it in Total: see Charge your own price.
  • Two students at the same time is fine, for a group or a sibling. The session is saved and the panel says it overlaps another session.
  • A session that already happened can be added as done: choose Completed under Status before you press Add session.
  • No students yet? Press Add a new student in the list, then come back to the session.
  • Deactivated students aren't in the list. Reactivate them first.

If something's not right

"This student already has a session at this time."

One student can't be in two sessions at once. Choose another time, or open the session that's already there.

"Choose a student first."

Choose who the session is for in Student, then press Add session again.

"This session hasn't started yet. Mark it completed once it starts."

Leave it Scheduled and mark it completed once it starts.
