Setting up your availability is essential to creating a smooth experience for you and your students. Availability is managed in MyLanguageBird, LanguageBird’s student information and scheduling system. MyLanguageBird is where you will find your student information and submit attendance once you begin teaching. This guide, however, focuses specifically on the calendar section used to set and manage your availability.
Because LanguageBird serves students across different schools, time zones, and schedules, maintaining an accurate and up‑to‑date calendar allows us to match students efficiently and avoid scheduling issues.
Clear availability helps us place students appropriately, minimize conflicts and last‑minute changes, ensure consistent lesson access, and provide flexibility for makeups and planned time away. Setting your availability accurately and in advance supports effective planning and benefits both instructors and learners.
In summary, we ask that you set…
Taking the time to set up and maintain your availability helps create a reliable, student‑centered experience and allows the LanguageBird team to support you effectively throughout the year.
LanguageBird uses Outlook and Microsoft Teams as its primary tools for communication and collaboration. Outlook is used for email and calendar scheduling, ensuring clear and consistent communication between instructors, students, and the LanguageBird team. Microsoft Teams serves as our central hub for teaching and interaction. All LanguageBird classes take place live over Teams.
A cohesive LanguageBird email signature is important because it presents a consistent, professional image to students, families, and partner schools. A standardized signature clearly identifies you as a LanguageBird instructor, reinforces trust and credibility, and ensures recipients can easily recognize and contact you.
