Why scheduling this is hard
Back-and-forth texts to book a weekly slot eat time you could spend teaching.
A student's practice, work, or family schedule shifts, and the old slot stops working.
When a tutor takes several students, keeping each one's free hours straight is a mess.
How the poll works
Create your poll
Pick the dates and time range you want to offer. Your shareable link is ready in under a minute.
Share one link
Send it wherever your group already talks. Nobody needs an account to respond, on any device.
Read the heatmap
Every response shades the grid. The darkest slot is your time. Done.
Why Timespree fits
Line up two schedules fast
The student shades free hours around school and activities, the tutor shades their open blocks, and the match is instant.
No sign-up for the student or parent
They open the link and shade on their phone, so booking never stalls on account setup.
Set a standing weekly time
The heatmap shows the block that stays free week to week, so the session becomes a routine, not a re-negotiation.
Calendar overlay to avoid clashes
Both sides can overlay their calendar so a session does not land on a practice, shift, or class.
A real example
A math tutor picks up a new student prepping for the SAT and needs a weekly 90-minute slot. The tutor sends a poll for the next two weeks; the student shades their free afternoons around track practice. Wednesday 4:30-6 PM is the only block both share every week, so it becomes the standing session.
Frequently asked questions
- Can a parent respond for a younger student?
- Yes. Anyone with the link can shade the student's free hours, no account needed. Parents often fill it in around school pickup, sports, and homework so the tutor sees exactly which blocks are open.
- How do I book several students without mixing them up?
- Run a separate poll per student and shade your open blocks on each. Every student sees only their own poll, so you match each one on a slot that fits both of you without cross-referencing schedules by hand.
- What if the student's schedule changes mid-term?
- Send a fresh poll for the new weeks. Since responding takes seconds and needs no login, re-checking availability after a schedule change is quick rather than another round of texts.
