An assessment lesson before the block
A new pupil could be a nervous beginner or someone halfway to their test. Soopaspace lets them book an assessment lesson from your page, so you see where they really are before either of you commits to a block of hours.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

A first hour to find their level
Offer an assessment lesson as its own bookable service, free or at a price you set. The pupil books it from your page, you spend the hour seeing what they can do, and you both decide on a plan from there rather than guessing over the phone.
- A first lesson bookable straight from your page
- Free, or at a price you choose
- See a pupil’s real level before a block
- No guessing from a phone call
Then plan the hours that fit
Once you know where a pupil is, you can line up the lessons that suit them: a standing weekly slot, or a block bought up front. The assessment does the sorting, so the hours you sell are the hours they actually need.
- Turn the assessment into a plan that fits
- A standing weekly slot or a block of hours
- Sell the hours the pupil actually needs
- A clearer start for both of you

Common questions
- Can a new pupil book an assessment lesson before committing?
- Yes. An assessment lesson is a bookable service in its own right. You can offer it free or at a set price, and the pupil books it from your page.
- Do I have to charge for an assessment lesson?
- No. You set the price, including free. Some instructors offer a free first hour, others charge for it. Soopaspace does it either way.
