Reduce No-Shows with Automated Reminders
Last-minute cancellations add up to big losses for freelance tutors. Automated email reminders and calendar invites (.ics files) keep your schedule full and protect your income.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Rendevu different from tutoring marketplaces?

Most tutoring marketplaces take large commissions from every lesson you teach. Rendevu lets you work independently—you own your student relationships, set your own prices, and choose your own policies. Our pricing is simple: no subscription, and a small fee only on payments processed through our platform. You're building your own tutoring business, not working for a marketplace.

I'm losing money to no-shows and last-minute cancellations. Can Rendevu help?

Yes—this is one of the biggest pain points for freelance tutors. Rendevu sends automated email reminders before lessons and calendar invites (.ics files) that sync with students' calendars. Every booking carries the same clear cancellation policy: students can cancel before the lesson for a full refund, and the freed-up time goes straight back on your calendar. Automated reminders help keep students accountable and your schedule full.

How much time does Rendevu save vs. managing my schedule manually?

Manual scheduling typically involves: back-and-forth emails to find times, timezone calculations, payment coordination, sending reminders, and handling no-show follow-ups. Rendevu automates these tasks—students book from your available times, the system handles timezone conversion, payments are processed automatically if you use Stripe, and reminders are sent before lessons. The time savings will depend on your booking volume and current workflow.

I teach students in different time zones. Does Rendevu handle this?

Yes! Set your availability in your local timezone once. Your booking page automatically converts lesson times to each student's timezone. No more mental math or double-booking mistakes when teaching students in Asia, Europe, and North America. Students see available times in their local timezone and book accordingly.

Can I accept payments through Rendevu or do I still need PayPal/Wise?

Yes. Connect your Stripe account and students pay by card when they book, not after the lesson. Payouts go to your own Stripe account; for payout timing and tax documents, see Stripe.

I'm a solo tutor, not a tutoring agency. Is Rendevu too complicated for me?

No! Rendevu is built specifically for solo teacherpreneurs, not multi-tutor agencies. Setup takes a few minutes. No complicated features you don't need, no steep learning curve, no expensive enterprise pricing. Just scheduling, payments, and student management in one affordable tool.

Can I use Rendevu for ESL, French, Spanish, IELTS prep, business English, etc.?

Can I use Rendevu alongside other tutoring platforms?
