## Quick answer

Open Availability in /instructor-dashboard. Use Weekly pattern for recurring hours, Daily overrides for school-specific dates, and Time off for blackouts; save each change.

## How do I set my availability?

Open [Availability](https://findaskischool.com/instructor-dashboard/availability). The page has **Weekly pattern**, **Daily overrides**, **Time off**, and **Requests** tabs.

## Weekly pattern

Add working slots with a day, start time, end time, and optional note. Use separate non-overlapping slots if you need a break, such as morning and afternoon teaching. Save the schedule and wait for confirmation. This is your recurring pattern; it does not itself create lessons or bookings.

## Daily overrides

Choose the relevant school and week, then edit the date's availability. Entries can be **Available**, **Unavailable**, or **Tentative**, with a time range and note. Saved intervals from another school may appear as read-only context. Dated availability is school-specific, so check which school you are editing.

Save your changes before moving on. If the page cannot load current availability, retry rather than overwriting it from memory.

## Time off and connected calendars

Use **Time off** for blackout periods. Connected external calendars can contribute busy periods, but imported events depend on the connection and supported event formats. Review **Calendar sync** if an expected conflict is missing.

Booking and assignment checks consider conflicts, including other linked teaching work. An available slot is not a promise that every lesson will be bookable: school rules, lesson options, and payment setup also apply.

## Existing bookings

Changing your hours does not cancel or move a student's confirmed lesson. Contact the school promptly and use the appropriate assignment, cover, or booking action. Check **My bookings** again after a change so you know which lessons still need you.
