Weekly lesson scheduling

If you have ongoing lessons with a student, you can use the weekly scheduling feature to set a recurring schedule. This makes it easier to plan your recurring lessons and ensures consistency in the student’s learning routine.

• Create recurring schedules: Choose the weekly option when scheduling a lesson to repeat the lesson at the same time on specific days.
• Create multiple one time schedules: If your student’s availability varies, create multiple schedules with different time slots.

Viewing scheduled lessons

All your scheduled lessons will appear in your Wiingy calendar. You can view and manage your lessons by following these steps:

• View upcoming lessons: Check the calendar for your upcoming lessons with students.
• Track completed lessons: Tutors can track their completed lessons in the Earnings section of the Wiingy Tutor Portal and the Wiingy Tutor App.
• Access meeting links: Meeting links will also be available in the calendar for quick access. For more on joining lessons, see How to Join a lesson.

Updating lesson timings

If tutors need to adjust the timing of a scheduled lesson, tutors can easily modify the lesson on the wiingy calendar.

1. Edit the lesson: Navigate to the Calendar section and click on the lesson you wish to update.
2. Choose a new time: Adjust the time or date for the lesson based on your availability and the student’s preference.
3. Save changes: Confirm the updated time by clicking “Save” to update the lesson on your calendar.

What happens if a lesson is not scheduled?

If a lesson is not scheduled on the Wiingy platform, it may not be tracked for payment purposes, leading to potential discrepancies in your payout.

• Lesson not scheduled properly: If a lesson is not scheduled through the Wiingy Tutor Portal, it will not appear in your calendar, and no payment will be processed. Ensure that all lessons are scheduled via Wiingy to avoid this issue.

To ensure timely and accurate payouts, always schedule your lessons as per the Wiingy guidelines. For more guidance, check out How payouts are calculated.
