Getting started with the Private Sessions feature you must Enable Private Sessions. Go to Financial Settings > General Settings > Private sessions Parameters > Enable private sessions.
Additionally, here you can configure other related settings regarding the Billing of sessions, Educators’ Actions on Private Sessions, specific Costs etc.
Private session Plan
In order to create a Private Session Plan, go to Financial > Private Sessions > Create Private Session Plan.
This plan can be used multiple times by a professor or whoever initiates a private session on specific dates.
Moving forward, fill in all the appropriate fields.
- Subject: This field allows you to either connect the session to an existing subject or create a new subject specifically for the session. For example, if you are teaching a math improvement course label the subject as “Advanced Geometry.”
- Time: Specify the time when the private sessions will be conducted. For example, you can set it as “3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.”
- Minutes: Define the duration of each session in minutes. For instance, you might set each session to last 60 minutes.
- Description: Provide a brief description of what the session will cover. This might include the name of the subject, the Grade, and the time.
- Classroom: If a specific space is required for the session, indicate it here. Otherwise, select None.
- Service: Describe the type of service provided. Common options can be “Private Lessons,” “Tutoring,” “Exam Preparation,” etc. This helps categorize the session within the school’s offerings.
