Share tutoring availability with students and parents
Tutors often coordinate over email or group texts with parents who do not want another account. A booking link adds friction; a clear list of times usually gets a faster yes.
Connect Google Calendar, generate your open slots for the week, and paste them into the thread where you already discuss homework and logistics.

Practical tips
- 1
Align hours with after-school reality
Set working hours to late afternoon and early evening before generating so you do not offer 10am slots nobody can take.
- 2
Separate personal conflicts
Include your personal calendar when generating so birthday parties and your own classes block those times automatically.
- 3
State session length
Parents plan pickups around the length of the session — mention it next to the list.
Frequently asked questions
Can students book themselves?
Not through ShareAvailability — it does not create bookings. Students or parents reply with a time, and you confirm. If you need self-serve booking at volume, use a booking tool instead.
How do I avoid double-booking tutoring sessions?
Select every calendar that holds commitments when you generate. ShareAvailability merges busy times across the calendars you choose.
Is there a cost for tutors?
ShareAvailability is free. There are no per-session fees and no paid tier for the core generate-and-copy flow.
