WhatsApp AI agent for tutors booking trial lessons and answering parent questions in chat

A WhatsApp AI agent for tutors answers the message a parent sends in the evening: “Do you teach GCSE maths, and do you have a slot on Tuesdays?” The agent books the trial lesson, answers subject, pricing, and format questions from the tutor's own materials, and confirms the details — while anything about a child's progress or a sensitive family matter goes straight to the tutor.

What parents ask, answered in chat

  • Trial-lesson booking: the parent picks a subject and a time, and the trial lands in the tutor's calendar with the details attached.
  • Subject and level FAQs: which subjects, which exam boards, and which age groups — answered from the tutor's own profile and materials.
  • Pricing and format answers: rates, session length, online or in person, and how payment works — in the tutor's own wording.
  • Availability answers: open slots per day, so the parent books without a back-and-forth.

The inbox that never sleeps

Parents message when they are worrying about schoolwork — often in the evening, after homework — and they message several tutors at once. The first clear trial offer wins the student. But the tutor is teaching, not watching chat, so replies arrive hours later and the parent books elsewhere. The agent answers instantly from the tutor's own schedule and materials, and the tutor spends the day teaching instead of chasing enquiries.

An illustrative parent conversation

The following exchange is illustrative — an example of the shape of a conversation, not a real parent chat. Parent: “Do you teach GCSE maths online, and do you have Tuesday evenings?” Agent: “Yes — GCSE maths, online, 45-minute sessions. Tuesday at 6pm is open for a trial lesson — shall I book it?” Parent: “Yes, please.” Agent: “Booked — the meeting link and what to prepare will arrive before the lesson.” One chat, one trial booked.

What to teach the agent before launch

  • Subjects, levels, and exam boards in the tutor's own wording, so answers are never invented.
  • Pricing, session length, and format details, plus how payment works.
  • Availability and booking rules per day, including how far ahead a trial can be booked.
  • The handoff list: a child's progress, learning difficulties, and any sensitive family matter go to the tutor.

How does it answer pricing questions?
From the tutor's own pricing and format details — rates, session length, online or in person — never invented.
What about questions on a child's progress?
Those go straight to the tutor; the agent never discusses a child's progress or a sensitive family matter in chat.

Yes — the agent answers rescheduling questions from the tutor's own policy and passes changes to the tutor's calendar.
