About Bookinstructor.com

We are about simple and easy.

The goal of the Bookinstructor.com platform is to connect instructors and clients.

Our platform focuses on instructors working for Snowsports schools. The instructor profile is activated for bookings and visible on our platform only if the school, the instructor has marked as their employer for the selected period and resort, confirms the employment relationship.

Self-employed instructors, that register on our platform, must provide a valid permit for the selected period and resort to have their profile activated for bookings and visible on our platform.

All instructors must be qualified for the discipline and level they teach and offer for bookings.

As per the Terms of service, we randomly perform checks of the provided qualifications, licenses, and permits.

Our booking process is, and will stay FREE. We do not ask for any commission, or any other fees for the bookings made through our platform. If commission is offered, we ask it to be a discount to the clients and a reward to the booked instructor.

Booking process

Our booking process is built to cover many aspects, from finding the instructor that meets the needs and requests of the client, to checking availability of the instructor, to receiving the exact price for what is being booked, to confirming the booking and receiving a booking summary in a PDF document to download.

When booking is confirmed contact details are exchanged between the client and the instructor for further communication, as per the Privacy policy.

All payments for the bookings are done directly between the instructor, or their employer, and the client. Bookinstructor.com takes no part in any transactions in relation to the bookings made on the platform.

Client

The Client can communicate, organize, and book Private lessons with instructors.

On our platform the Client may choose and book their instructor instead of the Snowsports school allocating them one. Our service to the Client. 

The instructor profile database is an opportunity for the Client to choose the instructor of their preference, that meets the requirements and requests. The instructor profiles provide the Client with information such as the discipline and the level the instructor is teaching, languages spoken, short biography, photos and videos, an approximate lesson price and more.

To have an active and visible profile, the instructor must have a valid license and discipline qualification corresponding to the level of the lessons offered. If self-employed, up-to-date work permits and authorizations are required. If working for a school, a confirmation from the school is requested. The instructor profile is only activated for bookings and visible on the platform if the instructor account is approved by the Bookinstructor.com team. Our aim is that the instructors the Client is choosing, and the instructor services booked, are meeting the requirements and following the regulations and laws of the resort and country the Client is booking the instructor in.

All payments for lessons, including sometimes required deposits, are organized directly between the instructor, or their employer, and the Client, we take no part in such transactions. This way we are cutting out the middleman expense, we are not asking for any commission for the bookings or for connecting the Client with the instructor. If commission is offered, we ask it to be a discount for the Client and an award for the booked instructor.

The Client membership is FREE. When successfully logged-in, the Client has access to Partner offers where they could save on gear, accommodation, travels and more. Then why not spend, what is saved from the holiday budget, on improving skills with an instructor booked on Bookinstructor.com?

Instructor

The Instructor is what Bookinstructor.com is about, the instructor profile and the bookings of their services.

We have built the platform to provide more work for the Instructors by connecting them with clients, getting more bookings, and giving the Instructors the opportunity to organize their own work schedule. Our service to the Instructor.

If working for a Snowsports school, bookings from our platform are an addition to the work provided by the school. All bookings MUST be run through the employer school. If we discover otherwise, the school and appropriate authorities will be notified, the booking will be cancelled, and any expenses arising to the client from the cancellation will be the responsibility of the Instructor. Read more in our Terms of service.

The Instructor profile is only activated for bookings and visible on the platform after the Instructor account is approved. To create the Instructor profile, we have strict rules regarding licences and qualifications corresponding to the level of service offered. If self-employed, up-to-date work permits and authorizations are required. If working for a school, a confirmation from the school is requested. The target for the instructor services offered on Bookinstructor.com is to be meeting the requirements and following the regulations and laws of the resort and country the services are offered in.

To complete the Instructor membership and for the instructor account to be approved, activated, and visible on the platform we are asking for a MEMBERSHIP FEE. The fee is set so that if the Instructor gets booked on Bookinstuctor.com for an average of two days in a season the fee is covered and the Instructor is in profit from having an account with us. We do not want any commission for the bookings as all payments for the lessons are organized directly between the Instructor, or their employer, and the client. If commission is offered, we ask it to be a discount for the client and an award for the booked Instructor. It is possible to upload invoices and bills to the Confirmed bookings in MY BOOKINGS part of the Instructor account, and during the booking process suggest payment options to the client. Read more about Membership, and booking process in How to book.

The registered Instructor may book other instructors.

Having an approved activated account gives the Instructor access to the Partner offers where, in some cases, the membership fee amount could be used as part of the payment for the Partner services.

School

We are aiming to expand the Snowsports School's client base, and to provide the instructors working for the School with more work options. Our service to the School.

We are requiring a school / employer confirmation for employed instructors. Without the confirmation the instructor account is not approved, the instructor profile is not activated for bookings and visible on the platform. Our goal is to avoid providing lessons that do not meet the requirements and laws of the resort and country where they are offered and booked, therefore every time an instructor gets a confirmation of a booking on our platform, the School receives a notification email with the instructor name and the booking dates.

When a booking is Confirmed the instructor and the client receive the booking summary and a PDF booking itinerary is available for view and download on their accounts. If the School has an approved account with Bookinstructor.com this PDF file is available for view and download in the MY BOOKINGS part of the school account.

Every School, registered or not, that has confirmed instructors on our platform, receives the confirmed booking notification email. Only registered, approved School receives the PDF file on their School account.

The payments for the bookings are fully organized between the instructor, or their employer, and the client. Invoices and bills can be uploaded to Confirmed bookings in the MY BOOKINGS part of the instructor account for the client to view or to download. Suggested payment options for the client are part of the booking process. We do not take part in any booking payments. This way we are cutting out the middleman expense, we are not asking for any commission for the bookings or for connecting the school's instructor with the client. If commission is offered to us, we ask for it to be a discount for the client and an award for the booked instructor.

The School account is approved after a YEARLY MEMBERSHIP FEE is received. Read more about Membership.

The registered School may book the instructors.

Having an approved active account gives the School access to Partner offers. Through the School account, the School may share the membership offers even with the instructors that are not registered on Bookinstructor.com.
