The problem

From March to June parents ask the same things: when the Easter revision sessions are, whether to keep coming during study leave, what happens on results day. Forty questions a month at 5 minutes each is 200 minutes, over 3 hours, mostly answered one by one at the front desk or by text.

What the AI does

List the true answers from your own timetable and policies: revision course dates, study-leave arrangements, how to book extra sessions, results-day support. Paste them, with no student details, into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and ask for a short parent guide and FAQ in plain English. Check every date and rule against your timetable, and point parents to their child's school for official exam dates; the center doesn't set them.

A worked example

A GCSE and A-level tutoring center in Bristol with 150 students answers about 40 exam-season questions a month in spring.

Before

40 questions a month at 5 minutes: 200 minutes, about 3.3 hours

After

If a clear guide cuts questions to 15: 75 minutes, about 1.25 hours

What it's worth

About $56£42€50A$81C$79 a month of time saved in exam-season months. That's 125 minutes, about 2.1 hours, at an assumed $27£20€24A$38C$38 an hour, if the guide cuts questions from 40 to 15 (an assumption). Free plans can do this; a paid plan is about $20£15€18A$29C$28 to $27£20€24A$38C$38 a month for one person.

How to set it up

  1. Write down the 10 questions parents ask most, with the true answers from your timetable and policies.
  2. Paste them into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, with no student names or results, and ask for a one-page guide and FAQ.
  3. Check every date, price and rule against your own records.
  4. Send it to parents in March and put it on your website.
  5. Update it each year; last year's dates are worse than no guide.

What goes wrong

  • Assistants invent plausible dates. Every date in the guide must come from your own timetable or the school's.
  • Never paste students' names, grades or predicted results into a consumer assistant.
  • Official exam dates and access arrangements belong to schools and exam boards; link to them rather than restating them.
