How Fonitix works for tutoring and education

Fonitix books trial lessons, answers the usual parent questions and passes schedule changes to your administrator. It promises no grades and keeps children's details out of the call.

What the agent does

  • Books students and parents into free times in your calendar.
  • Answers questions about your courses, prices and hours using your own answers.
  • Speaks as your administrator, in the words of your business.

What you tell Fonitix

A few questions when you set up, so the agent knows your business:

  • What do you teach?
  • What ages or levels do you teach?
  • Do you offer a trial lesson, and how long is it?
  • Are lessons in person, online, or both?

An example call

CallerMy son needs help with maths. He is in grade 7.
FonitixHappy to help. We offer a free 45 minute trial lesson with one of our maths teachers. Would after school on Tuesday or Wednesday work?
CallerWednesday at 4.
FonitixWednesday at 4:00 is free. May I have your name and mobile number to book it?

An example of the kind of call it handles. Your agent uses your own services, prices and hours.

What you get in your dashboard

  • A calendar with your team and services
  • An online booking page
  • A card for every customer, with their calls and visits
  • Intake forms and documents
  • Estimates and invoices
  • Payment links and deposits
  • Reminders by text or email
  • Your own answers, which the agent uses on calls

What the agent will not do

  • Take a card number over the phone: it sends a secure payment link instead.
  • Make up prices, times or promises: it uses only what you have given it, and takes a message when it does not know.

Set up in four steps

  1. Choose tutoring and education when you sign up, so Fonitix uses the right words for your school.
  2. Check the example courses and answer a few questions about your business.
  3. Get your own phone number for the agent and make a test call.
  4. Share the number. Calls turn into lessons in your dashboard.
