Never Miss a Learning Session with Automated SMS Reminders for Tutors
Etisia integrates seamlessly with your Google Calendar to send timely reminders for tutoring sessions, music lessons, and educational appointments - keeping students engaged and committed.
No credit card required. Free SMS included.
The Hidden Cost of Student No-Shows
Educational services see 25-40% no-show rates without proper reminder systems. Each missed tutoring session or music lesson disrupts learning momentum and costs you time that could be used with other students.
Tutors using automated SMS reminders report up to 80% reduction in no-shows and better student progress. Consistent learning sessions lead to improved academic outcomes and higher student satisfaction.
Why Students and Parents Love SMS Reminders
Instant notification - students and parents see lesson reminders immediately on their phones.
Perfect for busy families - parents can quickly confirm attendance while managing multiple schedules.
Learning preparation - timely reminders help students mentally prepare and gather materials for their lesson.

Frequently asked questions
Have a different question and can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our support team by sending us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
- Do clients have to opt in for SMS reminders?
- Yes. The instant you input a client's phone number, Etisia can send an automatic "opt-out" message. Or, if you would rather, the same single click opt-out link can go along with the first reminder instead. Either way, it keeps you TCPA /GDPR compliant—no step-by-step workarounds needed.
- Will Etisia change or move my appointments in Google Calendar?
- Never. We only read event data and append a small "✅" note—no moves, deletes, or edits except if the client cancels via the link.
- How fast does my calendar sync with Etisia?
- Instantly. The moment you create, edit, or delete an appointment in Google Calendar, Etisia updates the reminder schedule in real-time.
- Can I customize the SMS reminder messages?
- Yes. You can edit the content of all reminder messages. Choose from over 25 ready-made templates and easily customize the text to fit your business's tone and needs. This makes it quick to get started while still allowing you to add a personal touch.
- What happens if a client wants to cancel or reschedule?
- Every SMS includes a secure cancellation link. When clicked, you're instantly notified, the appointment is deleted from your calendar and the client receives a confirmation.
