What it does
Teaching businesses usually need two things from a website: clear pages that explain courses and tutors, and a reliable way for students to book time. This theme handles both. Course pages use tabs to organize the overview, curriculum, tutor, pricing, duration and student reviews, while tutor profiles list qualifications, certificates, expertise, contact details and social links. Pages are built with Elementor and Stratum widgets, so you can adjust layouts and content with drag and drop instead of code.
Booking runs through the integrated MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin. You can set up services, locations and staff schedules, define work hours, appointment lengths and buffer times, and accept individual or group bookings. Students move through a responsive multi-step booking wizard, receive automated email confirmations and reminders, and can log in to a customer area to view their bookings. Online payments, discount coupons and CSV reports are included, with optional add-ons for things like SMS notifications and PDF invoices. The setup works for a single instructor or a center with several tutors.
Best for
- Online course creators selling live or recorded classes
- Tutoring centers with several instructors and shared schedules

Questions about Edme
Can students book group classes as well as private lessons?
Yes. The included MotoPress Appointment Booking plugin supports both individual appointments and group bookings, and you can set capacity, durations and buffer times for each service so lessons and classes are scheduled the way you run them.
Do I need Elementor to edit the pages?
The theme's pages are built with Elementor and Stratum widgets, so Elementor is the tool you use to customize layouts, course pages and tutor profiles. Drag and drop editing means you can make changes without touching code.
What payment options can students use?
Students can pay online when they book. Stripe payments cover Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link, and WooCommerce and Square are available through extra extensions. You can also enable deposit payments for specific services instead of full payment upfront.
Will tutors and students get booking notifications?
Yes. Automated emails send booking confirmations, reminders and follow-ups to students and tutors, and email templates can show the total booking price and the amount left to pay. SMS notifications through Twilio are possible with an extra extension.
