Key facts
At many tutoring centers, parents arrange lessons by text and phone, the schedule lives on a whiteboard and prepaid lessons are ticked off by hand. Every change means asking the tutor, texting the parent back, updating the list and fixing the invoice.
With Bookicorn, parents book the lesson themselves, in the time slots your tutors open up. Credits, confirmations and reminders run automatically, and every tutor sees their own schedule.

Parents book and pay through their own account and see every booked lesson. Signing up several siblings in one step works with the Group Booking extension.
Sell packages of 5, 10 or 20 lessons, each with its own price and validity. Every booking deducts credits automatically, oldest first.
Create recurring sessions, like math every Tuesday at 4 pm, as a private lesson or a small group with a participant limit.
Parents book an intensive holiday course or an exam prep series as a whole, with every session included. Block courses are an extension.
Set up a lesson as an online offer and add your link, for example for Zoom. The video session runs in the tool you already use, since Bookicorn has no built-in video calling.
Each tutor sees only their own lessons, bookings and payouts, with exactly the permissions you set. The Trainer Portal is an extension.
Write down what you covered after each lesson and store consent forms or contracts with the student. Documentation is an extension.
Every purchase creates an invoice in the ZUGFeRD e-invoice format, with no extra work. The Invoicing System is an extension.
The free plan stays free forever. For the first 14 days you also test every feature, no credit card needed.
With the Bookicorn Manager app you see today’s lessons, check who is coming, add a student after a phone call or cancel a session. You get a notification for every booking and every cancellation.
Parents and students use the free Bookicorn app: pick an open slot, book, check their credits. Both apps are on Google Play, and the iPhone versions are in preparation. Everything works the same way in the browser.


Choose one of seven design themes and add your logo, colors, images and text. Parents see your center with your subjects and tutors, not a third-party marketplace.
The page runs at your own address on bookicorn.net. If you already have a website, embed your schedule and booking there as a widget (Website Integration extension) or use your own domain.


Bookicorn takes no commission on your bookings, unlike many tutoring marketplaces. You pay for your plan and nothing more. For online payments, only the payment provider’s fees apply, for example from Stripe or PayPal.
When parents pay by bank transfer or in person, you keep the full amount. The transaction overview shows your revenue, sold lesson packages and refunds at any time.


At checkout, parents choose how to pay: with credits from their lesson package, by credit card, SEPA Direct Debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna or PayPal. Payments are recorded automatically and the confirmation arrives by email.
You can also allow bank transfer or payment on site and confirm receipt yourself. You decide which payment methods apply to each offer, for example credits only for private lessons and online payment for holiday courses.


Bookicorn is built for people who would rather teach than organize: from the independent tutor to the learning center with several tutors and locations.
Private lessons, small groups and holiday courses for all tutors in one view. Moving or cancelling a lesson takes seconds, and parents are notified automatically.
Parents see the open slots, then book and pay in under a minute. No more texting about times, even in the evening or at the weekend.

You manage your center on your laptop or phone. Parents book wherever they are and see everything in their own language, including Spanish, French and Polish.
You get your own tutoring page on bookicorn.net and can start right away. If you already have a website, embed the booking there.
The Manager in the browser, next to the app for parents and students and the Manager app. All three work with the same data.


With Bookicorn Manager you run appointments, bookings and customers from your phone. In the Bookicorn app, your customers book in a few taps.
