Blocks, not single slots
Publish 10153060minute windows from your weekly schedule, in 5-minute increments. Several students share a window, so a 6-minute session never burns a whole block.
™Scheduling + waiting room
Short sessions.
No dead air.
Instructorly replaces one-at-a-time booking links with shared 10153060minute blocks and a live queue. Students line up, you call the next one, and the gaps disappear.
A real waiting room
Students check in, see their position, and get pulled in the order they arrived into a one-to-one audio or video call that runs right in the browser, connected directly between you and your student. Browser calls are optional: Zoom, Google Voice, a phone call, or any other way you already meet works just as well.
Rules that hold the line
Set booking limits, how far ahead students can book, and seats or minutes per window, your rules, your way. A readiness checklist runs before a seat is confirmed.
Everything on the record
No-shows, cancellations, reminders and schedule changes land in one audit log. Students get their own history and calendar.

For schools & districts
Built to survive your approval workflow
If your organization reviews new tools before teachers can use them, here is the short version of how Instructorly.me handles student data, FERPA and COPPA, and where AI fits, so your review has answers, not surprises.
FERPA: student records stay put
- · Students can't find or book an instructor on their own: the instructor invites each student by email, and only those students can book.
- · Session history, no-shows and notes are visible to the instructor and that student, never to other students or the public.
- · Call recordings or notes, where kept, belong to the instructor or school. They are never sold or shared with third parties.
- · Student contact details are never shown on public pages.
COPPA: AI voice is adults-only
- · Our AI voice provider does not permit users under 18, so every AI voice call first requires confirming you are 18 or older.
- · For student accounts, AI voice practice is off by default and can only be switched on by their instructor, per student.
- · Real sessions between an instructor and student never use AI; it's just the two of them.
How AI is used, and by whom
- · AI is used for one purpose only: optional practice and demonstration calls, in which an authorized adult user role-plays a session with a simulated student or instructor.
- · Practice conversations are never transcribed, recorded, or stored by Instructorly, and real student names or records may not be used in them.
- · Scheduling, reminders, waiting rooms and session feedback operate entirely without AI.
