A teacher who drives between homes is paid to teach, not to sit in traffic. Set the Tune plans the day so more of it is lessons and less of it is the car.
Most scheduling tools treat a teacher’s day as a stack of appointments and leave the driving to chance. Set the Tune treats it as a route. It orders each teacher’s students by real driving time between homes and packs the day so the gaps are rest, not detours.
Driving counts as paid work, so the engine keeps each teacher inside an honest 8-hour day with the drive included, not just the teaching hours.
Import the roster you already have and Set the Tune places every student in one pass. The optimizer respects each family’s availability windows, matches students to the right teacher and instrument, never double-books, and keeps each teacher inside a real workday.
It is deterministic and free to run. Press the button again after a change and it converges, it does not reshuffle a schedule that is already good.
A final route-polish pass looks for two same-length lessons it can swap between days to shorten a teacher’s total driving, without breaking a single availability window or moving a confirmed lesson. Small reorderings, real minutes back.
Every lesson is checked the moment it lands. Double-bookings, availability violations, teacher overload, and travel that is physically impossible all surface as flags you can see, not surprises a parent finds for you.
