Driving instructor diary
The driving instructor diary that replaces paper and the spreadsheet
Your whole teaching week on one screen — recurring lessons, working hours, clashes flagged, and the gaps between lessons surfaced before they cost you money. On the web and in your pocket.

Built for a week taught from the car, not a desk
A paper diary cannot warn you about a clash or a 90-minute gap on the other side of town. Lesson Diary can. Set your recurring lessons and working hours once, and the diary keeps the week in view — on the web and in the native iPhone and Android apps you actually open between lessons.
Recurring lessons
Set a weekly slot once and it repeats. Change or cancel one without touching the rest of the series.
Working hours & time off
Tell the diary when you work and when you are away. Bookings and reminders respect it automatically.
Clash warnings
Any lessons that overlap get an amber flag in the diary, with a note of what they clash with — so a double-booking is easy to catch and fix.
Gap alerts
See the dead time between lessons so you can fill it, shorten it, or plan around it.
Phone calendar sync
Lessons flow into the calendar on your phone through the mobile app, so everything is in one view.
Automatic reminders
Each pupil gets a reminder before their lesson without you sending anything.
Stop driving across town for one lesson
Draw your pickup zone on a map. Online bookings outside it get blocked automatically — every lesson stays close enough to be worth the drive.
See the gaps before they cost you
A free hour between two lessons is lost income. We flag it on your diary so you can fill it — or bin it and go home early.
"I already use my phone's calendar"
A calendar tells you where to be. It doesn't run your business.
Your calendar shows where you need to be. Lesson Diary keeps everything around your lessons organised — pupils, payments, bookings and reminders — without juggling multiple apps.

- Can I use the diary on my phone?
- Yes. The full diary is in the native iPhone and Android apps, as well as any web browser. Changes sync across all of them.
- Does it handle recurring lessons?
- Yes. Set a weekly slot once and it repeats. You can edit or cancel a single lesson without affecting the rest of the series.
- Will it warn me about a double-booked lesson?
- Yes. Any lessons that overlap are flagged in the diary with an amber badge and a note of what they clash with, so you can catch a double-booking and fix it. Your online booking page also never offers a pupil a slot that is already taken or outside your working hours.
- Can pupils see my diary?
- Pupils only ever see their own lessons, through their private portal. Your full week is yours alone.
