An AI receptionist for your tutoring school that answers while everyone is teaching
Peak hours at a tutoring school: every teacher is in a classroom and the phone rings — and on the other end of the line could be your next enrolment. Parousa is an AI receptionist for tutoring schools: it answers in natural Greek, books parent information appointments into your calendar, and takes a message when needed — without you changing your number.

The phone rings while everyone is teaching
Anyone who runs a tutoring school knows it: during lesson hours everyone is in a classroom, and the phone rings at the front desk — if there is a front desk at all. The parent who wants information calls in the afternoon or the evening, after their own working day: exactly the hours when the school is at its busiest. And yet the secretarial workload of a tutoring school rarely justifies a full-time person all year round.
Parousa’s AI receptionist covers exactly that gap: it answers when no one can get to the phone, so no parent’s call goes to waste.
How does the AI receptionist for a tutoring school work?
The idea is simple and changes nothing about your day-to-day:
- You keep your number. You forward to Parousa only the calls you can’t get to. When the desk is free, you answer the phone yourself, just like always.
- It answers in natural Greek, around the clock. In the afternoon and the evening — when most parents call — and on weekends too.
- It gives basic information and books information appointments. It answers questions about classes and schedules, books the introductory appointment with the parent into your calendar and, when needed, takes a message — and you’re kept informed.
August and September: enrolment season
During enrolment season the phone doesn’t stop: new parents ask about grades, classes and availability, returning ones confirm schedules — all while you are putting together the year’s programme. Parousa answers every call, gives the basic information you have set, and books an information appointment with the parent into your calendar — so the introduction happens in person, as it should.
The rest of the year the calls thin out, but none of them is spare: the parent who asks about an exam-preparation class in the middle of the year won’t necessarily call twice. Anything that needs your own answer — fees, special cases, questions about a student — Parousa records as a message with the parent’s contact details, so you can get back to them yourself.
A digital assistant — and no data on minors
Parousa never pretends to be human. On every call it introduces itself as your school’s digital assistant, as the European rules on artificial intelligence require — the parent always knows who they are talking to.
In a tutoring school, data deserves double care, because it concerns minors. That is why Parousa does not collect students’ details: for the information appointment, only the parent’s contact details are kept. They are stored in the European Union and used solely to handle the call and the appointment.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI receptionist for a tutoring school?

Can it book an information appointment with a parent?
Yes. When a parent is interested in enrolling, Parousa books the information appointment directly into your calendar and keeps their contact details, so you know who is coming and what they are interested in. Anything that needs your own answer is left for you as a message.
Does it collect students’ details?
No. Parousa does not collect data on minors — for the appointment, only the parent’s contact details are kept. Call data is stored in the European Union and used solely to handle the call and the appointment.
Will the parent realize they’re talking to a digital assistant?
Yes, because it tells them so itself. Parousa always introduces itself as a digital assistant and never pretends to be human — that is also what the European rules on artificial intelligence require.
