If your teachers go to students, every gap between lessons is paid time on the road. Put in your own numbers and see the season total. Then slide the what-if to see what tighter routes would be worth.
A teacher with five lessons in a day drives four times between them. So drives per week are your lessons minus your teacher-days. That count times your average drive, times your pay rate, times the weeks in your season, is the total.
The drive to the first home of the day is left out, so the real figure is at least this big.
Drive time is mostly decided when the schedule is built. Two neighbors on different days, or a teacher crossing town between back-to-back lessons, costs the same every week for the whole season.
Set the Tune places every student at real drive times for the hour the lesson runs, and chains each teacher’s day so the route makes sense. Import your roster free and look at the minutes on your own schedule.
No. The slider is your assumption. How much a better schedule saves depends on where your families live and when they are free. The honest way to know is to build the schedule and look.
For employees in the US, driving between lessons during a workday is generally work time. Check the rules for your state and how your teachers are classified.
Each teacher-day has one drive fewer than it has lessons, because the first lesson has nothing before it. Siblings at the same home lower the count a little.
Plans are sized by placed students: Starter $79 up to 150, Pro $129 up to 300, Studio $199 up to 500. Building your schedule is free. You pay when you export and keep it.
