Fewer empty hours in the diary
A pupil who forgets a lesson costs you the hour, the fuel and a slot you could have filled. Soopaspace has three tools for it: a reminder before every lesson, an optional deposit taken by card when they book, and a link for the pupil to move the lesson themselves.
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 reminder so the hour is not forgotten
Every lesson gets a reminder email before it, with a link for the pupil to move it inside the notice you set rather than simply not being on the doorstep. A change of plan becomes a tap, not a wasted drive across town, and your diary stays honest.
- A reminder before every lesson
- A link to reschedule within your notice
- Plans change with a tap, not a no-show
- Your diary reflects who is actually turning up
A deposit for the pupils who keep forgetting
If a pupil is in the habit of missing lessons, you can ask for a deposit by card when they book, taken per service. The hour is then paid toward before it is held, so someone who books has a reason to be there, and a missed lesson is not simply your loss.
- An optional card deposit at booking
- Set per service, so trusted regulars can stay deposit-free
- The hour paid toward before it is held
- A reason to turn up for the lesson they booked

Common questions
- How does Soopaspace help with pupils missing lessons?
- It sends a reminder email before every lesson and lets the pupil reschedule within the notice you set. For a pupil who keeps forgetting, you can also take a deposit by card when they book.
- Can a pupil move a lesson instead of missing it?
- Yes. The reminder email has a reschedule link. As long as they move it within your notice period, the lesson carries over to a new time rather than being lost.
