A tutoring number for parents, answered while you teach.
2Line.AI gives tutors and music teachers a second phone number for families on the phone they already carry. Mia by 2Line.AI answers during lessons, asks the subject, grade and schedule, books the first lesson into your hours and sends a reminder text the family answers C or R.
“Hi, you've reached Bright Minds Tutoring, this is Mia. Are you looking for help in a particular subject?”
Parents call while you're teaching, and you'd rather not give every family your personal number.
What Mia asks your callers
- Subject and grade
- What they're working toward
- Days and times that work
- In-person or online
Current families cancelling today come to you.
What a busy day looks like for a tutor
You're in the middle of a geometry lesson at the library when a parent calls. Her son needs algebra help before finals. Mia asks his grade and when he's free, and books a first lesson Wednesday at 4:30 PM. Tuesday evening the family gets a reminder and replies C, and you never gave them your personal number.
A made-up example. Names and places are fictional.
