What can tutors do with SMS?
−
You can confirm lessons, send reminders, share study tips, follow up on progress, request reviews, and promote exam prep packages. SMS makes communication easy and keeps students accountable.
How quickly do students and parents respond to texts?
+
Most texts are read within minutes, making sure reminders and updates are delivered effectively. This helps reduce cancellations and improve consistency in learning.
Can we use our existing phone number?
+
Yes. You can text-enable your main number so students and parents can call or text the same line. Messages can be routed automatically to the right tutor.
How do after-hours auto-replies work?
+
When messages come in after hours, an auto-reply confirms receipt, collects details such as subject or availability, and informs students or parents when to expect a reply.
Can we segment messages and track results?
+
Yes. Segment by grade level, subject, or tutoring package. Track replies, bookings, and progress check-ins to measure success.
Does this integrate with CRM or scheduling tools?
+
Textellent integrates with CRMs and scheduling apps so lessons, student data, and communication history are always up to date.
What about compliance and opt-in or opt-out?
+
Students and parents opt in via forms, QR codes, or keywords. Every SMS contains opt-out instructions, and STOP and HELP commands are processed automatically to maintain compliance.
Can we try Textellent for free?
+
Yes. Tutors can start with a 14-day free trial to test SMS reminders, campaigns, and follow-up workflows before upgrading.
