Tutoring & Test-Prep AI Booker

Voice AI receptionist for SAT/ACT/IB and academic tutoring studios. Pre-qualifies inquiries by current score and target, matches student level to tutor specialty, books trials, and manages the inquiry-to-enrollment funnel that small tutoring studios botch.

🎯The Problem

Test-prep studios get 80% of their inquiries between September and February. Owner-operators are tutoring 25-30 hours a week and field calls between sessions, leading to 24-48 hour callback delays. Each lost lead is a $1,500-$5,000 package walking to a competitor like Khan Academy or a local franchise.

💡The Solution

Voice agent that integrates with TeachWorks or Pike13, captures current score/target/test date, matches the student to a tutor specializing in that score band (a 1100->1400 SAT tutor is not a 1450->1550 SAT tutor), and books a trial diagnostic.

👥Target Users

Independent tutoring and test-prep studios in the US, ~25,000 small operators outside of big chains (Princeton Review, Kaplan), most with 2-15 tutors
