“Mia nailed the bridge in Defying Gravity. Practice the descending run at half tempo this week...”
Teach the lessons. Teachstead runs the studio.
Scheduling, billing, make-up credits, and parent communication for private teachers — so the hours you used to spend chasing payments go back to teaching.
No card required. Set up your studio in about 10 minutes.
Everything the studio needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Scheduling that knows your rules
Weekly recurring lessons, buffer time between students, blocked dates, and a booking page where families pick from times you actually have free.
Invoices that send themselves
Monthly invoices generate from real attendance. Families pay by card through Stripe, or log Venmo and Zelle payments against the invoice.
AI lesson summaries
Record a 30-second voice note after a lesson. Teachstead turns it into a parent-ready summary, a practice plan, and your own private note.
Make-up credits, tracked
When you cancel or excuse a no-show, a make-up credit is issued automatically and sits on the student until it is used. No more sticky notes.
A portal for parents and students
Families see upcoming lessons, invoices, and lesson summaries in one place. They can cancel or request a reschedule within your policy window.
Your calendar, synced
Two-way sync with Google Calendar and iCloud. Busy blocks from your personal calendar keep lesson slots honest.
Up and running in an afternoon
Set up your studio
You: Add your lesson types, rates, and weekly availability.
Then: Your booking page goes live at teachstead.com/book/your-studio.
Invite your students
You: Add students by name and email, or share your booking link.
Then: Families get a portal; recurring lessons fill your calendar.
Let the month run itself
You: Teach. Mark attendance with one tap, or let auto-attendance do it.
Then: Invoices generate from attendance and reminders go out on time.
Less than half of one lesson per month
Every plan includes scheduling, billing, the parent portal, make-up credits, and calendar sync. Plans differ by teacher seats and AI summary volume.
