Three actions in the calendar
Three buttons sit above the calendar: “Schedule lesson” for a private lesson, “Schedule group lesson” for a group event, and “Block time” for personal time when you are not teaching. Clicking an empty slot opens a shortcut to the same actions.
Green = hours you opened for students. Orange = a booked lesson. Marked = blocked time.
