Your LingoCulture calendar is your command center for scheduling classes. It's designed to be simple, visual, and automatically synced to your timezone. Let's break down how it works! C'est simple!
Where to Find the Calendar
-
Log in at web.lingoculture.com
-
Look at the top right corner of the page
-
Click the Calendar tab (it's the second tab, right next to "Teachers")
Voila! You're now looking at your booking calendar.
The Rolling Window System
LingoCulture uses a "rolling window" to keep booking fair for everyone.
Standard View: 5 Days Ahead
You can see and book classes up to 5 days into the future. This gives you plenty of time to plan while ensuring all students have equal access to teacher availability.
How New Days Unlock
Every day at 19:00 UTC (7:00 PM UTC), a brand-new day opens up at the end of your 5-day window. For example:
-
Today is Monday. You can book through Saturday
-
Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 19:00 UTC. Sunday opens up
-
Wednesday at 19:00 UTC. Next Monday opens up
The window keeps "rolling forward" every single day!
Unlock 2 Extra Days with Favorites!
Want to see 7 days ahead instead of 5? Here's a petit secret: When you mark a teacher as a "Favorite," you unlock 2 extra days of visibility for that specific teacher's schedule. Learn more: What are "favorite" teachers?

Common Calendar Questions
Q: Why can't I see next week yet?
A: The calendar only shows 5 days ahead (or 7 if you have favorites). Days beyond that will unlock gradually at 19:00 UTC each day.
Q: Why is everything striped/unavailable on the last day?
A: That day probably hasn't "unlocked" yet. Come back after 19:00 UTC and you'll see white (available) slots appear!
Q: The times don't match my timezone. Help!
A: Go to Profile > Settings and update your timezone. The entire calendar will automatically adjust to display in your local time.
Q: I favorited a teacher but still only see 5 days. Why?
A: The 2 extra days only apply to that specific teacher's schedule. You need to filter by that teacher or look at their profile to see their extended availability.
