Every parent call, answered.
An AI receptionist for tutoring businesses answers calls from parents and students, learns the grade, subject and goal, and books a first session or assessment with a tutor. Your tutors are in sessions all afternoon, which is exactly when parents call after school pickup. The AI answers in about 0.3 seconds, and it keeps answering in the evening and on weekends. It asks the questions your intake form asks: the student’s grade, the subject, a test date like the SAT or a final, and the times the family is free. Then it books into the tutor’s Google Calendar or Calendly and texts the confirmation. It answers price and package questions only from what you loaded. Many families prefer their own language, and it speaks 32, including Chinese, Korean and Spanish. Pricing starts at $249 a month, and the free five-day pilot runs on your real calls with no credit card.

Tutoring:
questions and answers.
It follows the rules you load, such as which tutor covers chemistry or which works with younger kids, and books on that tutor’s calendar.
No. It answers on its own during the hours you set for it. When a parent asks for a person, it rings your team in order.
Yes. Two-way SMS and MMS are on every plan, so a student can text a photo of a worksheet and it stays with the conversation.
Basic is $249 a month with 300 minutes included. Standard is $549 a month and adds CRM sync and automated SMS follow-ups.
It does the job of both: it answers your business calls, takes messages and books appointments. A virtual receptionist is usually a person working remotely, and an answering service usually takes messages. Voxgard is AI: it picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, and books straight into your calendar.
