AI assistant for tutoring agencies: faster answers for parents, lessons in one diary
Parents message at all hours, pupils reschedule lessons and exams are approaching. Slimbot brings all messages together, asks for subject, level and test date, and helps you keep the timetable up to date.
Good afternoon, my daughter is in year 8 and needs help with French. Is that possible?
Assistant's draft
Good afternoon! Could you tell us what's going wrong and when the next test is? Then we'll schedule an introductory meeting.

In practice
What comes in at tutoring and homework support — and what Slimbot does
"My son has his maths final exam next month, can you help?"
The assistant requests level, subjects and availability; you or the tutor assess whether and how you can help.
"Can my daughter sit in on one lesson first?"
A proposal for introductory sessions from your diary, confirmed in your own words.
"She's ill, can we reschedule the lesson?"
Request with the learner card, draft with catch-up slots; you confirm.
"What does an hour of tutoring cost and how often per week is sensible?"
Answer from your own knowledge base with your rates; if you prefer to advise personally, the conversation is forwarded to you.
"Can you also teach online?"
Answer based on what you offer, with a link to plans for an introductory meeting.

Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Ask about subject, level and test
The assistant asks for year, subject, where things are going wrong and when the next test is, so the teacher starts the conversation prepared.
Schedule introductions and lessons
Choose available slots from your connected calendar; the reminder is sent from your own number to the parent or student.
One card per pupil
Parent, pupil, subjects and conversations are kept together. A supply teacher can see at a glance what was agreed previously.
Reschedule lessons without back-and-forth
Cancellations and requests arrive in the same inbox; you choose a new time and confirm with one message.
Share progress with parents
A short message after the lesson or a question about the homework: drafts prepared by the assistant, sent by you.

Goedemiddag <naam ouder>, bedankt voor uw bericht over bijles voor <naam kind>. Om een goede match te maken: in welke klas zit <naam kind>, voor welk vak is hulp nodig en wanneer is de eerstvolgende toets of het examen? Dan stel ik een voorstel op voor een kennismaking. Groet, <uw naam>
Confirm introduction or trial lesson
Goedemorgen <naam ouder>, hierbij bevestig ik de kennismaking voor <naam kind> op <dag> om <tijd> bij <locatie of online>. Wilt u een recent proefwerk of het laatste cijferoverzicht meenemen? Kunt u niet? Laat het ons vooraf weten. Tot dan! <uw naam>
Lesson cancelled: suggest new time
Goedemiddag <naam ouder>, de les van <dag> kan helaas niet doorgaan. Ik kan <naam kind> een inhaalles aanbieden op <dag en tijd> of op <alternatief>. Laat u weten wat het beste uitkomt? Dan zet ik het in de agenda. Groet, <uw naam>

From €14.95 per month
Excl. VAT, from the live price list. Start with a free account; a subscription only begins when you accept it.
Does the AI tutor itself or write homework solutions?
No. The assistant answers questions about your offering, requests details and prepares appointments. Your tutor teaches the lesson.
Can both parents and pupils message?
Yes. Every number arrives in the same inbox; you link a student and a parent to one customer card, so you see the complete picture.
Does it work with multiple teachers and locations?
Yes. You work with the team in one inbox, assign conversations and connect the calendars in which you schedule lessons.
Does Slimbot send lesson reminders automatically?
Yes, from your own number, if you schedule appointments via the planner. You decide what the text says.
Do I need to consider data of minors?
Yes, that remains your responsibility. Only store what you need, don't ask for anything in the message that you don't need, and don't use recognisable photos of children in your communication without permission.
What does it cost?
You start with a free account, no credit card required. Current monthly prices are on the pricing page.
