I run an online language teaching business that offers a variety of services, including private and group classes for adults and children. I’m looking for a robust booking and management system that can handle the following features, and I’d like to know if Amelia is the right solution for my needs:
Flexible Booking Options:
Allow students to book single classes, recurring sessions, or buying bundles and using the classes bit by bit (reserving as needed).
Class Tracking and Attendance Management:
Track class attendance for each student.
Provide a way for students to see how many classes they’ve attended and how many are remaining in their package.
Payment Integration:
Enable payments through Stripe, PayPal, or track payments made by bank transfer.
Allow students to pay for packages, subscriptions, or individual classes.
Student Dashboards:
Provide students with a personal log-in page to view their class history, bookings, and attendance records.
Recurring Subscriptions:
Handle recurring payments for weekly or monthly subscription plans.
Integration with Google Calendar and Outlook:
Automatically sync booked classes with my calendar.
Send personalized Zoom links for each session.
Customization for Group Classes:
Manage group bookings for 2–4 students, ensuring fair cancellation policies (e.g., classes proceed if one student attends, with flexibility for rescheduling otherwise).
Automated Reminders and Notifications:
Send email or SMS reminders to students before their classes.
Gift Card Management:
Allow students or parents to purchase and redeem gift cards for classes.
Ease of Use for Non-Tech-Savvy Users:
A user-friendly interface for both students and myself.
Would Amelia support all these requirements, or are there any additional plugins or integrations you would recommend to achieve them?
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you!
