The calendar offers drag-and-drop scheduling, recurring availability, SMS reminders, offline progressive-web-app use, and cached diary information on the device. Instructors connect their own Stripe account, with pupil card payments sent directly to their bank. Accounting records lesson income, expense categories, mileage, and vehicle costs, with a live tax estimate.
