Most teaching runs to a regular rhythm — the same student, the same slot, week after week. Rather than booking each lesson by hand, you can set a lesson to recur and LessonLoop creates the whole series for you.
Where it lives
Recurring lessons are set up from a lesson on your Calendar (the Calendar item in the left sidebar). There’s no separate “recurring” screen — you turn an ordinary lesson into a series as you create or edit it.
Create a recurring series
- Open the Calendar and book a lesson as usual — choosing the student, teacher, time and length.
- Turn on Repeat (the recurrence option in the lesson dialog).
- Choose how often it repeats — weekly is the usual choice, and you can also pick daily, fortnightly or monthly. For a weekly series, tick the days of the week the lesson should fall on; most lessons repeat on a single day, but you can tick more than one if a student comes twice a week.
- Optionally set an end date — for example, the last day of term. Leave it blank to keep the series running.
- Save. LessonLoop creates every lesson in the series in one go, so the whole run appears on your calendar straight away.
Good to know A single series can hold up to 200 lessons. If you set no end date, the series stops once it reaches that limit — so for an open-ended booking it's worth adding a term end date and extending it later.
Closure dates are skipped automatically
If a lesson in the series would land on one of your closure dates — a bank holiday, a half-term break, a studio closure — LessonLoop leaves that date out. You don’t need to delete the odd lesson by hand; the series simply steps over the closure and continues the following week.
You manage these dates in Settings → Organisation → Closure dates, and any series you create afterwards respects them.
Change or cancel part of a series
When you edit or cancel a lesson that belongs to a series, LessonLoop asks how far the change should reach:
| Choice | What it does |
|---|---|
| This lesson only | Affects just the one lesson you opened — the rest of the series is untouched. Use it for a one-off reschedule. |
| This and all future lessons | Applies from this lesson onwards in the series — but not the lessons that have already happened. Use it when a slot moves permanently or a student stops. |
