Create a private lesson in Kadrella

In Kadrella, a lesson is a time slot that links a tutor, one or more students and a price. Once created, it shows in the calendar, counts towards the payments you are owed and can send a reminder. This guide covers a one-off lesson. For a lesson that repeats every week, follow the recurring lesson guide instead.

  1. Step 1

    Open the lesson calendar

    In the menu, open "Lessons" then "List". The "Calendar" tab shows the current week, one colour per tutor. Click the "+" button at the top right.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the date, the tutor and the student

    Leave "Single" selected, then fill in the date, time and duration. Choose the tutor and the student: their default hourly rates fill in the prices, and you can change them for this lesson. The "+" next to "Students" adds a second student for a group lesson.

    Good to know

    • If the tutor or the student already has a lesson in that slot, Kadrella shows it in red above the participants before you save.
    • The prices come from the hourly rate on the student and tutor records. Changing them here only affects this lesson.

  3. Step 3

    Set the notifications and save

    The "Notifications" block decides who is told: a WhatsApp message to the tutor or the student (the pencil edits the text), a Google Calendar event for the tutor. These need WhatsApp and Google Calendar connected first. Then click "Create Lesson".
