Reliability : Trial confirmation pilot program

We’re introducing a new approach to simplify trial management for you and help ensure every student has a tutor ready for their session. This system is designed to offer you greater flexibility while maintaining a smooth and reliable experience for students. You’ll now confirm trials scheduled for the next day, and your feedback will play a key role in refining the system before the full rollout.

Here’s what you need to know about this process

  • Notifications: You’ll receive texts and emails a few times during the day.
  • Accessing your dashboard: Click the link in the message to open your trial class confirmation dashboard. This is a new dashboard separate from your current Dojo Tutor dashboard. 
  • Confirming availability: Select each class to confirm whether you can facilitate it or not.
  • Declined trials: Trials you decline will be removed from your standard Dojo Tutor dashboard within 4 hours.
  • Stay updated: Always refresh your trial class confirmation dashboard before responding to ensure you have the latest information.
  • Confidentiality: Please keep this under wraps for now—this is still a test.
