Mentor accounts are for individual teachers who run their own classes under their own name. You get a public profile, your own class schedule, your own payment routing, and a dashboard that surfaces everything that needs your attention.
What it costs
Nothing to start. The free tier lets you list classes, accept bookings, take payment through any method you set up. There is no per-booking commission. You keep 100% of what students pay you, minus standard Stripe fees if you choose card payments.
If you want more visibility, more features, or more bandwidth, the paid tiers are:
- Pro at $29/month ($290/year if billed annually): featured placement in directory results, certifications shown on your profile, financial reporting, expense tracking, full calendar sync, mobile-app push notifications.
- Premium at $69/month ($690/year annually): everything in Pro plus the embed widget for your own website, higher rate limits on the API, priority support, larger image uploads.
See subscription tiers for mentors for the full breakdown.
What you get even on the free tier
- A public profile at
movementors.com/<city>/<your-slug>. - One location pinned to your profile.
- Unlimited classes with unlimited recurring schedules.
- Booking management (confirm, complete, no-show, mark paid).
- Stripe Connect for card payments (Stripe takes their cut; we take nothing).
- Manual payment methods (bank, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, cash, crypto).
- Email notifications to you for new bookings, cancellations, reviews.
- The mobile app with push notifications.
- Reviews from students.
- A clients CRM with booking history and lifetime value per client.
- The MCP integration for AI assistants (early access).
What the paid tiers add
The single biggest jump from Free to Pro is visibility. The mentor directory sorts Pro mentors higher than free mentors when relevance is tied. Your profile gets a "featured" pill if you are on Pro, and certifications get displayed publicly (free-tier mentors can upload but they are hidden until you upgrade).
The Premium-only feature is the embed widget: a JavaScript snippet you paste into your own website to let visitors browse and book your classes directly without leaving your site. For mentors with their own marketing site this is a significant tool.
The mentor dashboard
After onboarding you land on /mentor. The top-level navigation:
- Dashboard (
/mentor): the home page. Quick stats, recent activity, alerts (e.g. a booking awaiting your confirmation), next class card. - Classes (
/mentor/classes): your class roster. Create, edit, deactivate. - Bookings (
/mentor/bookings): incoming bookings. Filter by status. Mark paid, confirm, complete, no-show. - Clients (
/mentor/clients): the CRM. Every client who has booked with you, with their history, lifetime value, and personal notes. - Calendar (
/mentor/calendar): visual week/month grid of upcoming sessions. - Reviews (
/mentor/reviews): student reviews and your responses. - Financials (
/mentor/financials): earnings, expenses, payout history. Pro+. - Embed widget (
/mentor/settings/embed): paste-into-your-site code. Premium. - Inquiries (
/mentor/inquiries): private session requests and direct messages. - Settings (
/mentor/settings): profile, payments, billing, calendar sync, mobile push, notifications.
The sidebar also surfaces small badge counts: "3 new bookings", "1 pending response", etc.
A typical week as a mentor
This is what most mentors do in a week to keep things ticking:
- Once at setup: complete the onboarding wizard. Once.
- As classes happen: confirm new bookings (Stripe payments are auto-confirmed; manual ones need you to mark paid). Mark completions and no-shows at the end of each class.
- Weekly: respond to reviews from the previous week. Add notes to clients in the CRM if there is anything worth remembering.
- Monthly: review your financials. Add any cash-paid bookings that did not auto-track. Categorise expenses. Export for your accountant.
- As needed: respond to private session requests and inquiries. Update your schedule (add a new class, cancel a session, add a blackout date).
The platform's job is to let you spend most of your time teaching, not administering. If you find yourself doing a lot of admin, email support; we will look at what is causing it.
Workflow philosophy
A few principles that drive how the platform is built:
- You own the relationship with your students. We give you the tools to communicate, but we do not insert ourselves between you and them.
- Money is yours, immediately. Stripe payments go directly to your Stripe Connect account; there is no platform middleman holding funds.
- No surprise fees. We charge a monthly subscription if you want extra features. We do not charge per booking, ever.
- The minimum data to do the job. We do not require birthdays, addresses, photos, or anything beyond what's needed for the platform to work. If you want a fuller profile you can add it; if you want a minimal profile you can leave most of it blank.
