Say yes to the right lessons only
Take every booking that comes in and your day fills with dead miles. A pickup zone 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 zone 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.
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.
Your booking page, ready in 60 seconds
Stop playing phone-tag. Turn on online booking, share your link or QR code, and wake up to confirmed lessons on your calendar — without lifting a finger.

How coverage areas compare
A drawable coverage-area map is rare — most apps do not offer one at all. See how Lesson Diary compares.

- 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 zone?
- 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 — the zone only limits what pupils can book through your page.
