What a tutoring website needs to convert students and parents

A clear tutoring website needs to answer three things right away: what subjects and levels you teach, what your hourly or package rates are, and how a student or parent can book a session. Putting your subjects and pricing in plain text and heading blocks makes it easy for parents to compare options without emailing back and forth.

For self-booking, you can embed a scheduling page like Calendly or use a builder with native scheduling. On Heya, our editor has 10 block types including heading, text, image, buttons, links, socials, and an embed block that supports Calendly, YouTube, Vimeo, and Google Maps. You can embed a Google Map for in-person lessons or a short YouTube intro video for online teaching, and our socials block links to 29 networks plus email, phone, and website.

When a dedicated booking or course platform is worth paying for

A lightweight site with a Calendly embed works well when you bill parents after sessions or take payments separately. If you want to collect card payments at booking, charge no-show fees, or sell self-paced study courses, a dedicated platform can save administrative work.

Square Appointments gives solo tutors a booking site for $0 per month per location (3.3% + 30 cents for online payments), and its $49 per month Plus plan adds no-show fees. Wix starts at $17 per month ($29 per month on Core with basic eCommerce) with scheduling and online courses. Squarespace starts at $19 per month on Basic ($29 per month on Core) with Acuity Scheduling, invoicing, and memberships. On Heya, you embed a Calendly scheduling page and link buttons to your existing checkout or inquiry form, or pick Square, Wix, or Squarespace if you want everything in one dashboard.

Free vs paid tutoring websites: what you actually get

You don't need a monthly subscription just to get a tutoring page online. Heya Free costs $0 with no time limit or credit card for up to 3 sites and 5 pages per site at yourname.heya.bio with a small Made with Heya badge and Calendly embeds. Wix also has a $0 Free plan with Wix branding, and Square Appointments has a $0 per month Free plan with a booking site.

Paying usually removes branding, connects a custom domain, or adds forms and commerce. Heya Pro Lite is $3 a month for up to 20 pages per site and no badge, while Pro Standard ($6 a month) includes up to 5 sites and 1 custom domain per account. Carrd Pro Lite is $9 / year, while Pro Standard ($19 / year) adds custom domains, forms, and Stripe or PayPal widgets. Google Sites supports up to five custom domains, Wix ($17 per month Light) includes a free domain for 1 year, and Squarespace ($19 per month Basic) includes a free custom domain.

How to set up a tutoring website on Heya with the tutor template

You can start building on Heya in your browser without an account, and you can build and edit the whole site on a phone. Pick from Heya's 68 templates or start blank. Swap in your subjects, grade levels, and hourly rates, then adjust the look with 42 fonts, 14 theme presets, and a 5-color palette.

Drop your Calendly page into an embed block so students can book, and link your email, phone number, and up to 29 social networks in a socials block. Set your site name, description, page titles, language, tab icon, and a 1200x630 share image. When you're ready, sign in with Google to publish for $0 at yourname.heya.bio, or connect a custom domain on Pro Standard at $6 a month.
