For teachers

Time off and extra hours

On top of your weekly hours, you can block time off or open one-off extra hours.

Time off

• On My availability (otocourses.app/en/app/teach/availability), under Time off, choose the first and the last day and press Add time off. Time off is in whole days, Cairo time.
• Time off can't cover a class that is already booked. Cancel those classes first: the rules in "Cancelling a class as a teacher" apply, including a bonus hour for the student under 8 hours' notice.
• Time off can't start in the past, and one entry covers at most about three months.
• You can remove time off that hasn't started yet.

Extra hours

Extra hours open one-off times on top of your weekly hours, for students to book. The My availability page doesn't offer them yet: ask the support assistant to add them, or ask OTO operations. Extra hours that students have already booked can't be removed until those classes are cancelled.

With the assistant

The support assistant can add time off or extra hours for you. It shows exactly what it will add, and nothing changes until you confirm.
