The Calendar is your timetable — where you book lessons, move them around and take the register. It’s the second item in the left sidebar, at /calendar, and it’s also the page you land on when you sign in.
Day, week and month
The calendar opens on Today: a single-day timeline with a week strip across the top so you can see the days either side at a glance. Use the Today / Week / Month toggle to change the view, and the arrows (or the Today button) to move through time. Weeks start on Monday.
| View | What it’s best for |
|---|---|
| Today | Working through one day, lesson by lesson, and taking attendance |
| Week | Seeing the shape of the week and spotting gaps |
| Month | Getting your bearings — tap any day to jump to it |
Book a lesson
The quickest way to add a lesson is straight from an empty slot:
- Click an empty slot on the timeline. A small New lesson card opens, pre-filled with that date, time and a default length.
- Add the student. Start typing a name and pick them from the list.
- Save. That’s the three-click booking — done.
Need more than the basics? Choose More options on that card to open the full lesson, where you can set:
- Private or group — a private lesson takes one student; switch to group to add several.
- Teacher, Location and Room.
- Length — pick from 15 up to 120 minutes.
- Whether it’s a one-off or a repeating series.
Good to know LessonLoop checks for clashes as you book — a double-booked teacher or room is flagged before you save, and closure dates are taken into account.
Book a whole term at once
You rarely want to add lessons one by one. In the full lesson, turn on a repeating series and choose the days and an end date (or leave it ongoing) — LessonLoop creates the whole run in a single step and shows you a preview of the first lessons, with any closures already skipped. See Recurring lessons for the detail.
Move or change a lesson
Drag a lesson to a new time to reschedule it, or click it to open and edit the details. For a repeating series you’ll be asked whether the change applies to just this lesson or this and all future ones.
Take the register
When it’s time to mark who turned up, use the Take attendance button on the calendar — it opens the register for the day you’re viewing. Full walkthrough in Take the register.
