"There are calendaring options that are already part of Student Information Systems but there are none that have the flexibility or customizability that YouCanBook.me has. We were able to integrate YouCanBookMe with our Student Information System and that was a huge factor in the decision to use it."
“YouCanBookMe has made it much easier to stay connected to my students and their parents. I used to spend too much of my time calling families, coordinating Zoom meetings, and sending emails to confirm appointments. Having a system that automates all those steps has enabled me to focus on my students.”
“This tool is super easy to set up and a breeze to use. I love that I can add something to my Google calendar and it instantly blocks out that time in YouCanBookMe. I am able to save time from back-and-forth emails to book times to support students, staff, and my community. This efficiency has saved time and increased the number of people that I can support.”

Does YouCanBookMe offer a discount for educators?
Absolutely! We offer an education discount for universities and non-fee-paying schools. Sign up with a .edu, .ac.uk, or .edu.au email address for 30% off our scheduling school software.
I don’t want my page to be publicly accessible. Can I password protect it so only certain students can access it and book time with me?
Of course! Our appointment scheduling software for higher education allows you to password-protect your booking pages, ensuring only your designated students can access them. Additionally, you can turn on tentative bookings for extra security, allowing you to approve or decline appointments before they land on your calendar!
How are you notified when a student selects an appointment time?
With our tutoring scheduling software, all new meetings instantly appear on your connected calendar. You’ll also receive a confirmation email for new bookings and can add an SMS notification (for an extra fee) if needed.
Can I add specific links to email signatures and program websites?
Yes, you can easily add specific booking links from our lesson scheduling system to your email signatures and websites. This makes it convenient for students to schedule appointments directly from your communications and online resources. You can create multiple booking pages and link to specific ones for different classes or create one page with multiple appointment types.
I sometimes need to meet with parents as well. Does YouCanBookMe offer a parent-teacher conference scheduler?
Yes! YouCanBookMe’s scheduling software for schools offers a dedicated parent-teacher conference scheduler designed to streamline meetings with parents. You can set specific availability windows tailored for parent-teacher conferences, making it simple for parents to choose convenient meeting times. You also have the flexibility to customize appointment durations, add buffer times between meetings, and integrate with your existing calendar for seamless scheduling. Additionally, YouCanBookMe sends automated email confirmations and reminders to both parents and educators, ensuring everyone stays informed and prepared!
How do you manage your meeting availability?
Our education scheduling software makes managing your availability a breeze. You can do it directly via your calendar or right on YouCanBookMe by choosing between repeating availability or calendar-managed availability. Our tool syncs with your calendar to reflect your free and open slots automatically. Then, you can set specific time blocks for meetings, add buffer times between appointments, and update your availability on the go, ensuring students can only book times that work for you.
For example, let’s say you need to use YouCanBookMe as a parent-teacher conference scheduler. While you normally don’t take meetings outside of your typical 9-5 hours, you can set a key phrase in your calendar with “parent-teacher conferences,” enter that title in your booking page, and your page will automatically update with the new evening hours.
Does YouCanBookMe send auto-generated emails, such as reminder emails? If so, how much control do we have over these?
Yes, you can set up emails and SMS notifications (SMS at an extra fee) to automatically trigger at every stage of the booking process. These notifications include confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups and are completely customizable. You can tailor them to every use case and send as many or as few as you like.
Does YouCanBookMe work with a hybrid schedule?
Absolutely. Setting up in-person and online meetings in YouCanBookMe’s scheduling software for schools is very straightforward. You can quickly customize your booking options to allow students to choose between virtual and face-to-face appointments, offering flexibility and convenience. You can also designate specific meeting types, such as progress reviews, as virtual and others, like lab sessions, as in-person. For virtual meetings, you can select your preferred video tool: Zoom, Google Meet, or MS Teams. And for in-person, you can add the address.
