Is it postcodes or an actual map?

An actual map. You draw the shape of the area you cover, so it can follow a ring road or skip a river rather than snapping to postcode districts.

What happens to a booking from outside my coverage area?

It is turned away automatically with a note that you do not cover that area, so it never lands in your inbox.

Can I still take an out-of-area pupil if I want to?

Yes. You can always add a lesson yourself — your coverage area only limits what pupils can book through your page.

Say yes to the right lessons only

Take every booking that comes in and your day fills with dead miles. A coverage area lets pupils book themselves while keeping every lesson inside the patch that makes financial sense.

Draw it on a map

Sketch your coverage area exactly how it is — not a postcode list, the real shape.

Outside it, no booking

Requests from beyond your coverage area are declined automatically, before they reach your inbox.

Fewer dead miles

Every lesson stays close enough that the drive between pupils is worth your time.
