Bookings Who it is for: Tutoring
Cerium for tutors
One person runs it all from a phone: the student books the lesson, online lessons happen in Cerium with a whiteboard, and the parent sees progress and pays for the lessons that took place. For a tutor and a small tutoring centre.
One student, from enquiry to final exam
This is how a student moves through, whether you teach alone or with a few people. Each step is a module that hands its data to the next, so you never retype anything.
- CRM
Enquiry from your business profile
A parent fills in the form from a link or a QR code on your Google business profile, and the enquiry lands in the pipeline with a stage and a next step.
- Placement test
Entry test
A new student takes the test from a public link, without an account. The result goes to the enquiry in the pipeline, so you come to the first lesson prepared.
- Groups
1:1 lesson
The student gets a group of their own with one seat. The subject is a field (“maths, final exam”), and the level is a step on the A1-C2 scale, which in tutoring is only a convention.
- Bookings
The student picks the slot
You enter a weekly window, and the student or parent picks a free slot in the panel. The booking is a lesson in the schedule and the register straight away. The module is in beta.
- Online lessons
Online lesson
You open the video room from the Schedule, and the student joins from their own register. Next to the video there is a whiteboard, and the drawing waits for the next lesson.
- Journal
Register
Attendance, topic and homework with a due date and a material or a link, entered from your phone right after the lesson.
- Course programme
Exam syllabus
Chapters in order and “where we are” worked out from the lessons held, so you can see how much is left before the exam.
- Exercises
Exercises
The student solves exercises checked against the key, and the result goes into the register with one click.
- Finance
Paying for lessons held
The instalment is worked out from the rate and the number of lessons in the month, and the parent pays from a link or with a card charged automatically.
- Students
Report for the parent
Attendance, grades and homework with your comment, frozen and sent to the parent as a link. At the end of the course you can issue a certificate.
A tutor’s day
There is no desk between one lesson and the next. Everything you do around a lesson fits on your phone.

What is here for a tutor
Seven things that keep bookings, lessons, contact with parents and money in one place, instead of a calendar, a messenger and a spreadsheet.
Bookings (beta)
A weekly window with lesson length and mode, and the student or parent picks a free slot themselves.
Module: BookingsOnline lessons with a whiteboard
A video room in Cerium for an online lesson, with a whiteboard you both write on and exercises that mark themselves.
Module: Online lessonsRegister and homework
Attendance, topic, a note and homework with a due date. When checking, a grade is optional, and “missing” is an answer too.
Module: JournalExercises
Eleven exercise types with autosave, a timer and a result with the key. For languages there is also Vocabulary with spaced reviews.
Module: ExercisesParent account
The child’s attendance, grades, notes, payments and reports. A note goes only to the parent, not to the student.
Module: GuardiansPay “per lesson”
An instalment from the rate and the number of lessons not cancelled, recalculated when the schedule changes, with a payment link and an email reminder.
Module: FinancePlacement test
A public link for a new student, and the result goes into the enquiry pipeline.
Module: Placement testLessons, cancellations and make-ups
Almost everything is one-to-one. Lessons sit in one schedule and one register, so there is no second calendar to keep an eye on.
One rule for cancellations beta
Before a set number of hours the lesson disappears. After it, the lesson stays as “cancelled late” and counts towards the instalment, and the student sees this before clicking.
BookingsMake-up and extra lessons
You add them with the “Add lesson” button next to the regular slots, and a new series does not overwrite them.
GroupsDays off
A day-off entry cancels lessons in its range, and the series skips it.
ScheduleInstalment from lessons held
The “per lesson” plan works out the instalment from the rate and the lessons in the month, and recalculates it after every schedule change.
FinanceLesson packages with an expiry date (for example ten lessons in three months) are not available today. Payment is by instalment plan or for lessons held.
Who sees what
One school, four points of view. The server enforces the boundary on every save, not a hidden button in the menu.
| Role | Sees | Changes |
|---|---|---|
| Tutor | Everything: lessons, students, parents, payments and every message thread. | Booking window, payment plans, syllabuses and settings, while also teaching their own lessons. |
| Second teacher | Their own lessons and those students, plus syllabuses and materials of their own or assigned to their students. | Attendance, topic, grades and homework, but only for their own lessons, plus their own booking window. |
| Student | Weekly plan, their own register, homework, exercises, materials and payments if no parent is in the system. | Books a lesson, joins online lessons, solves exercises and reviews vocabulary. |
| Parent | Each child separately: attendance, grades, notes, payments, reports and contracts. | Pays with the “Pay” button, books lessons for the child and writes to the tutor. |

Questions we hear most often
Short answers, no overpromising. What is missing is listed alongside.
What Cerium does not do here
- Lesson packages with an expiry date are not available today. For a private primary school there is a separate plan with the Classes module (pilot).
- No Zoom, Meet or Teams: online lessons happen in Cerium.
- No Google Calendar sync: the schedule lives in Cerium.
- This is not a register for public schools: Librus and Vulcan do what the ministry requires.
Yes. The owner of the space is also a teacher and teaches lessons like anyone on the team, so a tutor working alone needs nobody else. When a second teacher joins, they get access to their own lessons.
The Pro plan is 40 € net per month (170 zł net for a school from Poland), with up to 100 students and 10 teachers included and every module.
Yes, in the Bookings module (beta). You enter a weekly window, and the student or parent picks a free slot in the panel. Slots taken by other lessons, blocks and days off are skipped, and the booking is a lesson in the schedule and the register straight away.
You set how many hours before a lesson a cancellation has no consequences. Earlier, the lesson disappears from the schedule; later, it stays as “cancelled late” and counts towards the “per lesson” instalment. The student sees what will happen before clicking.
Yes. The video room is in Cerium: you open it from the Schedule for an online lesson, and the student joins from their own register. Next to the video there is a whiteboard you both write on (you freeze it with one click), and the lesson version stays in its history. The room is open from 15 minutes before the lesson to 60 minutes after it ends.
No. Lesson packages with an expiry date are not available today. Payment is by instalment plan or for lessons held: the instalment is worked out from the rate and the number of lessons not cancelled in the month.
