Fill your open slots
while you're teaching
Parents research tutoring options on weeknights and weekends, when you're either teaching or off the clock. BotDesk answers their questions instantly and captures their contact information so you can follow up with a warm lead instead of a cold inquiry.
The Problem
New enrollments slip through
while you're in session
The best time to answer a tutoring inquiry is the moment it comes in, not the next business day. Parents comparing options often go with the center that responds first.
Inquiries come while you're teaching
A parent finds your site on their lunch break while you're running a session. If they can't get an answer, they keep looking and may enroll somewhere else. A chatbot answers them on the spot and takes their details.
Parents research at night, not during business hours
Education decisions happen in the evening: after homework frustration, after dinner, after the kids are in bed. If your site has no way to respond, those leads evaporate overnight.
Parents ask the same qualifying questions
"Do you do math for 6th graders?" "What grades do you work with?" "Do you offer SAT prep?" Each one is easy to answer the first time. A chatbot answers them every time after that, without you lifting a finger.
How It Works
How Long Setup Takes
Paste one line of code on your website. BotDesk reads your site and builds your bot's knowledge base automatically.
How long it takes depends on your website. WordPress, Squarespace (Core plan and up) and most sites with a footer code box: about 5 minutes. Wix needs a Premium plan with a connected domain to add code. GoDaddy Website Builder usually can't take code, so you add a button that opens your chat link instead. Can't paste code at all? We'll set it up for you, free.
Train it on your center
Paste your website URL and BotDesk extracts your grade levels, subjects, schedule, pricing, and location. You review and edit before going live.
Add the widget to your site
One line of code. Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or any website. No developer needed.
Get notified of new enrollment inquiries
When a parent leaves their name and phone number, you get an immediate email. Follow up before they call your competition.
What It Handles
Questions parents actually ask
Trained on your center: grades served, subjects, availability, pricing, and location.
FAQ
Common questions
Yes. You can add as much detail as you want to your bot's knowledge base: your approach to learning, specific programs you use (Kumon-style, Orton-Gillingham, etc.), your tutors' credentials, and your methodology. The more detail you add, the better the bot answers.
It can collect parent contact info and notify you immediately so you can schedule. If you use Calendly or similar scheduling software, any paid plan can include a direct booking link so parents can book an initial assessment themselves.
Yes. Your bot's knowledge base can include all grade levels and subjects you serve, and it will ask qualifying questions to direct parents to the right information. If you primarily serve K-8 but also have SAT prep, the bot handles both seamlessly.
When the bot encounters a question outside its training, it tells the parent honestly and offers to have someone from your center follow up. It captures their contact info so you can call back with an answer. This is much better than the parent leaving without any engagement.
Yes. It replies in the language each person writes in, such as Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean or Tagalog, on every plan, and you choose which languages it uses. On Growth and up, chats in another language reach you with an English translation.
Each location gets its own bot. The Agency plan lets you manage bots for multiple locations from one dashboard, useful for tutoring center franchises or multi-location operations.
It's made for parents, not for children under 13. If a visitor says or shows they're under 18, such as their age or their grade, it's built to answer their question simply, not ask for their name, phone or email, and suggest a parent or guardian gets in touch with you. It never asks anyone's age, so it only goes by what they say. Anything typed in the chat is saved for up to 12 months and sent to OpenAI to write the reply, so it's best for a parent to reach out.
