Language school or teacher

Booking software for language schools, teachers and private lessons

English, Spanish, Italian or French as a foreign language, face to face, in small groups or by video: your students choose their slot, pay online or use their lesson pack, and you no longer run your diary over text messages. For an independent teacher as much as for a language school.

A diary run over text messages

Students see your free slots and book their private lesson by themselves. Two appointments never overlap, and never clash with your group classes.

Lessons paid late

The lesson is paid online at booking, or deducted from a 10-lesson pack bought in advance. No more bank transfers to check one by one.

Forgotten lessons and last-minute cancellations

Turn on the confirmation and the day-before reminder: students are notified when they book and again the evening before. They can cancel up to 24 hours before, and the lesson is credited back.

Everything a language teacher or school needs to take bookings

✓

Private lessons by appointment

Create “Private English lesson, 1 hour” with its price and open your slots in series (Tuesday and Thursday, 9am to 7pm, all term): students book straight into your diary.

✓

Small groups by level

An A2 group, a B1 conversation class: each class has its capacity, its teacher and its waitlist. Students enrolled for the year book every Tuesday in one go.

✓

Lesson packs and memberships

A pack of 10 private lessons, a monthly membership capped at one lesson a week, an intensive course sold separately: credits are deducted automatically.

✓

The student area in their language

Your students use Brimly in English, French, Spanish, Italian or German, on the website and in the app: handy when you teach students from abroad.

Running private and group language lessons with Brimly

Private lessons: one service, one length, your slots

In Schedule → Appointments, create one service per lesson format: “Private lesson 45 min”, “Private lesson 1 h 30”, “Exam preparation”… with its length (from 5 to 480 minutes), the price of the session and a short description.

Then open your availability in series: the days, the time range, the period (up to 92 days at once) and a break between two lessons if you want a breather. Any time already taken by another appointment or by one of your group classes is skipped. In a school, you open each teacher's slots, and each teacher is notified when a student books or cancels a lesson with them.

Pay per lesson or with a lesson pack

There are two ways to get paid for a private lesson. Per lesson: once Stripe is connected, the student pays the price of the lesson when booking, with no plan to create, and the money goes into your Stripe account, with no Brimly commission.

With a pack: in Sales → Plans, create a “Credit pack” (for example 10 lessons, valid for 6 months) and tick the service; each booking uses one lesson. Tick your group classes too if the pack should cover both. A student who pays by bank transfer or in cash is recorded on their profile with “Record a manual payment”, even in several instalments: the balance due is tracked.

Groups by level and conversation classes

For group classes, create one class type per level (A1, A2, B1…) with its capacity, then an “Every week” series until the end of term or “End of June”. A plan can be restricted to certain classes: the “English B1” membership only works for B1 classes, and Brimly checks this at every booking.

Intensive courses and themed conversation workshops are sold separately, with their own price and number of places. To let someone try a group, open a free trial session: they book with their name and email, no password needed.

Video lessons

Brimly doesn't create Zoom, Google Meet or Teams links: it handles booking and payment, and the video call stays in the tool you already use. For an online group class, paste your link into the class's practical information (Schedule → Class types): students find it in their bookings and in the event added to their calendar.

For a private lesson, send the link from the student's profile with “Message this member”: they receive it by email, as a notification in their account and as a push notification on their phone.

Your slots on your website and social media

Your page at brimly.fr/s/your-name (or your own domain) shows your group classes and your shop of packs; private lessons are booked from the Appointments menu of the student area. The “Book an appointment” link (Settings → Public page) leads straight there: students log in or create their account, then choose their slot.

Put it in your Instagram bio, your email signature or a WhatsApp message. On your website, the appointments widget shows your free slots and students book from the page.

Frequently asked questions

Does Brimly work for an independent language teacher?

Yes. The price is the same for one person as for a school: €29/month, with no commission on your sales, and the first 31 days are free. Your students' payments go straight into your Stripe account.

Can I teach lessons by video?

Yes for booking and payment, but Brimly doesn't generate video links. Put your Zoom, Meet or Teams link in the practical information of a group class (it shows in the student's bookings and calendar), or send it to the student from their profile for a private lesson.

How do I sell a pack of 10 private lessons?

In Sales → Plans, create a “Credit pack” of 10 credits with its price and validity, then tick the “Private lesson” service under “Services (session packs)”. Each booked appointment uses one lesson; if it's cancelled at least 24 hours before, the lesson is credited back.

Do my students get a confirmation and a reminder?

Yes, if you turn on “Confirmation and day-before reminder” in Schedule → Appointments → Services: students receive a confirmation when they book, then a reminder the evening before, by email, notification and push, in their own language. Group classes always have their day-before reminder.

Can I mix private lessons and group classes?

Yes, in the same space: your group classes in Schedule → Sessions, your private lessons in Schedule → Appointments. Brimly never offers an appointment during a group class you're teaching. The same pack can cover both if you tick the classes and the service.

Can each teacher in my school have their own diary?

Yes. You open each teacher's appointment slots, and each teacher is notified when a student books or cancels a lesson with them. Teachers are unlimited and included in the price.

Can students from abroad use Brimly in their language?

Yes. The student area and the app are available in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German: each student chooses their language (the ⋯ menu on the website, Account → Language in the app). The names and descriptions of your classes stay as you write them.

What about other private lessons (music, tutoring, coaching)?

It works the same way: one service per lesson format, your slots, and a pack of sessions or payment per lesson. Brimly doesn't manage child profiles: the account is in the name of the person who books, for example the parent.

Can I sell lessons as a gift?

Yes, for any plan without renewal (a pack of 5 Italian lessons, for example): in your online shop, the buyer chooses “Gift to someone”, pays and the recipient receives their code. Stripe must be connected.
