For independent tutors & private teachers

Online booking for independent tutors and private teachers

Mid-lesson, explaining a tricky equation or correcting a pronunciation, you can't stop to answer the phone. SmallSalon gives you a professional booking page where students and parents book their own lesson, a clear view of your teaching week, and automatic reminders — without institution-sized software or a front office you don't have.

You teach every lesson yourself. Your schedule still has to keep filling up.

Whether you're walking a student through a maths problem, prepping someone for their exams or running a language lesson, you can't pause to pick up the phone or reply to a parent's message. But students and parents still want to book the next lesson when it suits them — often in the evening after homework, or on a Sunday planning the week ahead. SmallSalon takes that off your plate.

No phone ringing mid-lesson

Students and parents book online instead of calling while you're mid-lesson with someone at the table.

No more DM ping-pong

Your lessons and open slots are shown directly, so you stop trading messages with parents just to explain when you're free.

Fewer no-shows and last-minute cancellations

Automatic reminders mean fewer forgotten lessons — and fewer gaps in your week you didn't plan for.

Your week fills up while you teach.

With SmallSalon, students and parents pick the lesson they need — a maths session, exam prep, a language lesson, an online video lesson — see when you're free and book it themselves. You stay in control of your week and decide exactly which times are open.

Let students book their next lesson online

Regulars book their weekly lesson straight from your booking page, any time — even late in the evening, when parents finally sit down to plan the week.

Real times for every lesson

Give each lesson its true length, from a 45-minute homework session to a 90-minute exam-prep block, so a longer lesson never gets squeezed into a short slot.

Automatic reminders

Students and parents get a reminder before the lesson, so you lose fewer slots to forgotten or last-minute cancellations.

Reschedules without the messages

Clients move or cancel their own appointments, so a change of plans doesn't fill your phone between clients.

Your whole teaching week, at a glance

See every lesson — in person and online — in one clear calendar, with room to prepare between students instead of surprise back-to-backs.

Your own booking link, ready to share

The moment you set up your page, SmallSalon gives you a personal booking link. Add it to your tutoring profile, a parents' group chat or your website, and students simply tap it, land on your booking page, choose their lesson and time, and they're done — no app to download, no account to create.

From a 'can you help before the exam?' message to a confirmed lesson in minutes.

Students and parents pick the lesson they need, see when you're free and book it themselves — no waiting for you to reply between lessons.

Not for big schools. For you and your students.

Built for tutors and private teachers working on their own.

SmallSalon is made for independent tutors and private teachers — from homework helpers and subject specialists to language, music and coding tutors — not for schools and academies with a front office and a team of admins. Whether you teach in person, travel to students or teach online, if you take your own bookings and run the whole thing yourself, you don't need staff rotas and team management. You need something that just works between lessons.

Simple, not overloaded

Just the tools you need between lessons — nothing built for a big school or academy.

Made for solo tutors

No employee rotas, no team seats, no features you'll never touch.

Professional for your clients

Give students and parents a polished, professional booking experience from the very first lesson.

You don't have to change how you work to try SmallSalon.

Add your lessons — subject sessions, exam prep, language, music, online — set your teaching hours and share your booking link with your students and their parents. Try it free before you commit to anything.
