Schedule & Confirm Appointments

Invite your clients, then schedule and confirm your appointments using Fons.

Meet With Your Client

Focus all your time with clients on the lesson and their development. No more buzzkill conversations about missed payments or paperwork.

Get Your Deposit

Following the end of your appointment, your client's credit card is billed and you are both notified. No more invoices, missed payments, or outstanding balances.
“Before Fons, I was piecing together multiple spreadsheets and paying a bookkeeper to handle most of my business administration. Fons handles everything for me so I can give up the spreadsheet scene and save money on bookkeeping.” - Beth P, Academic Coach

Minimize No-Shows and Last Minute Cancellations

You and your clients get notified automatically of any upcoming appointments, payments, or requests. Need to reschedule an appointment? No problem, we’ll let everyone know. With Fons, you instantly know whenever something important happens.

“I love that it reminds when a lesson is coming up and gives me the option to cancel or change a lesson if needed.” - Tom B, Parent

Upfront Cancellation Policy Enforcement

We’ve built the simplest, best practices approach to running a teaching business. Your clients agree to your lesson cost, duration, and cancellation policy upon creating a Fons account. If a customer cancels a lesson within your cancellation window, they will still be charged for that appointment unless you stop the charge.

“With Fons, my policy is enforced and I never have to chase a late payment again.” - Emily P, Teaching Artist

Teach On Your Timeline

Quickly and easily track and organize your teaching schedule to fit your lifestyle. Setup your office hours to enable clients to make appointment requests only during times you’re available.

“Once I set my teaching schedule, I never have to worry about my availability. My students can see when they can schedule lessons and it eliminates the back and forth.” Guy T, Sports Coach

Family Schedule Management

Fons let’s parents add and manage their kids’ schedules, and keep track of payments with a single credit card or bank account.

“With two kids that each have private lessons with several different teachers, I wish they were all on Fons to make my life easier.” - Katherine M., Parent
