Self-Booking Guide

Students enrolled at a self-booking campus have a set number of weekly credits allotted toward tutoring sessions. This guide walks you through how to navigate the K12 Tutoring site, book individual or recurring sessions, cancel sessions, and view upcoming sessions.

Logging In

Before you can book, sign in to your K12 Tutoring account. For step-by-step sign-in options and login troubleshooting, see How to Log In to K12 Tutoring.

Booking a Session via the Dashboard

1. Once logged in, you'll be redirected to your Dashboard.
2. Search by subject to view all tutors certified in teaching that subject. Many teachers are certified in multiple subjects.
3. After choosing a subject, apply additional filters — time of day, specific courses within that subject, teaching specialties, and even language — to find the right tutor for your student's needs.
4. Selected filters appear on the left under Active Filters, and matching tutors appear in the center of the screen.
5. When you find a tutor who fits, click the blue Book a Session button to open the tutor's page, where you can review their bio, watch their introduction video, view specializations, and read reviews.
6. To keep browsing, click the arrow next to the tutor's name to return to the pool of available tutors. To book this tutor, select your desired date on the calendar on the right.
7. Choose your session duration (30 or 60 minutes), confirm the subject and specific course, and pick the time that works best. Add any notes for the tutor here.
8. Once your date, duration, course, and time are confirmed, the yellow Confirm Booking button becomes available. Click it to confirm.
9. A green confirmation pop-up appears in the top-right corner indicating your session was successfully booked.
10. After the pop-up disappears, your available booking balance shows in the top-right corner. This balance resets weekly on Mondays.

Booking a Session via Quick Booking

1. Once logged in, click Quick Booking in the left-hand menu.
2. Quick Booking lets you select your preferred date, time, subject, course, and duration, and gives the option to book recurring sessions.

Recurring Sessions

1. After selecting Make Recurring, choose your recurrence details — start date, end date, and preferred day of the week — then click Confirm.
2. Review all of your recurring session dates. Use the pencil icon to edit a session or the trash-can icon to delete one from the series, then click Find a Tutor.
3. A window on the right shows available tutors matching your needs. Search by name or select from the list; choosing a tutor shows their specialties and whether they're available for all recurring sessions.
4. If a tutor isn't available for one or more sessions, the platform automatically assigns a substitute. To pick your own instead, uncheck "Auto assign tutor for unavailable date(s)."
5. Once your tutor is selected, click Next, add any session notes, and click Book Session. A green confirmation pop-up confirms the booking.

Viewing, Cancelling & Session History

1. Click Upcoming Sessions in the left-hand menu to see all upcoming sessions. If your tutor hasn't accepted yet, you'll see a Pending Confirmation note.
2. Click the three dots to the right of a session to cancel it or view details.
3. Click Cancel Session to confirm a cancellation, or Keep Session if you change your mind.
4. To review past sessions, click Session History in the left-hand menu. Cancelled sessions also appear here.

Marking a Tutor as a Favorite

1. When you find a tutor who works well for you, click the heart icon next to their name to add them to your Favorites. You can do this any time while searching.
2. Click Favorite Tutors in the left-hand menu to see all your favorites and book with them quickly.
