A regular timetable as a series
Every Tuesday at 18:00? Set a series — every week or every two weeks, up to 12 lessons. The student gets one message with all the dates; busy dates are skipped and shown to you.
For tutors and teachers
Lesson booking for tutors in Telegram — schedule and reminders, free
Short answer: create a page in @DockerVisitBot with your lessons — a trial lesson, a regular lesson, exam preparation — and your hours. Students or their parents book by your link in Telegram; regular weekly lessons you set as a series of up to 12. Reminders go out by themselves. Turn on “I work online” to teach students anywhere. Free.

What you get
Online lessons and other time zones
Turn on “I work online” and students find you under the “Online” filter. If a student is in another time zone, the time is labelled with yours.
Parents book for their child
A parent books from their own Telegram and leaves a comment — the child’s name and grade; you see it in the booking.
Cancelling without back-and-forth
A student cancels or reschedules with a button; the slot frees up, and those waiting for a free time get a message.
Reminders before the lesson
Up to three, from 30 minutes to a week before — say, a day and an hour before.
Who studies and how often
The history of each student, no-shows, bookings and income by month — in the workspace.
What your page might look like
An example — you write the names, duration and prices yourself. Free slots are calculated from the length of each service and your working hours.

Questions
Can I book a student for the whole term?
Up to 12 lessons at once — about three months of weekly lessons; then set the next series.
How many lessons can a student book on their own?
Up to 3 upcoming bookings with one tutor at a time. A longer regular schedule you set yourself as a series.
How do I send a link to Zoom or Google Meet?
The bot doesn’t create video call links. A permanent link to your room can go in the service description, and a one-off link you send to the student in Telegram.
Will it work for group lessons?
No: one booking is one client at a time. For group classes in a Telegram chat there is our sister bot, Docker Event Bot — sign-ups with a button right in the chat.
