Commission-free booking software for tutors. Give clients a link that shows your real availability, takes the deposit and fills the gaps you would otherwise spend the evening filling by message.
Tutoring happens in the evenings and at weekends, in the gaps a spreadsheet was never going to track. Retveno publishes exactly those hours and lets students book into them.

Built for appointments
Set each staff member's weekly hours and time off once, and your own booking link does the rest. Customers pick a service, a person or "any available", a day and a time — days you are closed are greyed out, times already taken are struck through, and two people can never take the same slot.
Give every service a cleanup buffer and the next booking simply cannot land in it. A 30-minute cut with a 15-minute buffer keeps the chair busy until the room is genuinely ready.
Take a deposit per service through your own Stripe account, and let automatic email, SMS and WhatsApp reminders cut the no-shows. Both are part of the plan, not paid add-ons.
Your teachable hours are the narrow windows after school and at weekends, and every parent asking "when are you free?" is a message you have to answer by hand. Retveno gives every tutor their own weekly hours and time off, and maps each service to the people who can actually perform it. A client picks the person they want — or "any available" — and only ever sees times that person is genuinely free.
Every service carries its own duration, price, deposit and cleanup buffer. The buffer is held after the appointment as well as before it, so two bookings can never quietly erase the gap between them — the mistake that makes a diary look fine at nine and hopeless by noon.
A tutor's sellable hours are the narrow slots nobody else wants: four to eight in the evening and most of Saturday morning. Everything outside them is unbookable, and everything inside is negotiated one message at a time with parents who are also juggling three other activities. Publishing exactly those hours is the difference between a diary and a chat thread.
An hour at €35 lost on a Tuesday evening is one of only four you had to sell that day. Reminders are unusually effective here because the person who books is often not the person who attends — the message lands with the parent while the lesson is still moveable.
Set a deposit per service and it is collected at booking through your own Stripe account — Retveno takes no cut. Switch on auto-confirm and a booking confirms itself the moment the deposit lands, or straight away when no deposit is due. Automatic email, SMS and WhatsApp reminders go out before the appointment either way.
Add yourself, then your lesson types — the hour, the double, the exam-prep session. Then spend the setup time where it counts: publishing only the after-school and weekend windows you actually teach in. Term breaks and exam weeks go in as time off, so the page stops offering hours you were never going to work.
Whoever books gives a name and an email or a phone number, which is what the confirmation and the reminder go to. Most tutors put the parent's contact details on the booking and the student's name in the notes, so the reminder reaches the person who manages the diary.
No. They open your booking link, pick a service and a time, and leave a name plus an email or a phone number — either is enough. There is nothing to download and no account to create.
Yes. Weekly hours and time off are set per person, and each service lists who can perform it, so availability is always calculated against the individual rather than the business.
None. You pay a flat monthly price per staff member and nothing per booking. Deposits go to your own Stripe account, where only Stripe's standard card fee applies.
