Home / Calendar & Syllabus
Your semester on one calendar, with study time already planned
Most students find out about a test a few days before it happens. Cooler Tutor reads the syllabus on day one, puts every dated test, quiz, paper and project on a calendar, and books study time before each test.
At a glance
- Upload a PDF, Word file or photo, or paste text or a Google Docs link
- The student reviews every date before anything is saved
- Two 45-minute study sessions before each test (3 days and 1 day ahead)
- Conflict warnings with a suggested free slot
- Optional two-way Google Calendar connection
- Private view-only link for any calendar app
Start with the syllabus
Upload the syllabus as a PDF, a Word file or a photo of the pages. You can also paste the text or a shared Google Docs link. Cooler Tutor reads it and proposes a list of the dated work: tests, exams, quizzes, reports and papers, projects and presentations, and larger assignments.
Nothing is saved until the student checks the list. Each line shows the type, title, date and, when the syllabus gives one, the time. The student can fix a date, drop a line, or add what the AI missed. Items already on the calendar are marked as duplicates so the same test is never added twice.
Study sessions are added for every test
For each test, Cooler Tutor adds two 45-minute study sessions: one three days before and one the day before. They are placed in the afternoon and evening, between 3:00 and 10:00 pm, and are spaced around anything already on the calendar.
Study sessions can be moved, edited, deleted or marked done like any other item. When a student marks a session done, it shows in the parent’s daily email and dashboard as work completed.
Conflicts are caught before they cause a problem
Say a student adds a Friday scrimmage that lands on top of a study session. Before the event is saved, Cooler Tutor tells them about the overlap and offers the nearest free slot. They can move the study session, or keep both and decide for themselves. Only study sessions are ever moved. Tests, quizzes and assignments never are.
Connect Google Calendar
A student can connect their Google account so the plan appears in the calendar they already check. Cooler Tutor creates its own calendar called “Cooler Tutor” inside Google and only touches that one. It also reads busy and free times, not event titles, so it can warn about clashes.
Changes work in both directions. Drag a study session to a new time in Google and Cooler Tutor follows. Google cannot ask before it accepts a new event, so a clash with an event added in Google is flagged within about ten minutes instead of on the spot.
Prefer not to connect an account? Each student also gets a private, view-only calendar link to add to Google, Apple or Outlook calendars. It shows the schedule but cannot report conflicts, and calendar apps refresh it every few hours.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of syllabus files can I upload?
PDF, Word (.docx), a photo of the pages, pasted text, or a shared Google Docs link. Plain text files are not accepted as uploads, but you can paste the text instead.
What if the AI misreads a date?
Nothing goes on the calendar until the student reviews the list. Dates can be corrected, and wrong lines can be removed, before the import. Always compare the list with the syllabus.
How does Cooler Tutor decide when to schedule study sessions?
Each test gets two 45-minute sessions, three days and one day before, placed between 3:00 and 10:00 pm. If that time is already taken it picks the nearest free slot.
Will it move my tests or homework?
No. Only study sessions can be moved, and only after the student is warned and agrees.
Do we have to connect Google Calendar?
No. Connecting is optional. Without it, the student still gets conflict warnings for everything entered in Cooler Tutor, plus a view-only calendar link.
What can Cooler Tutor see in my Google account?
It creates and edits only its own “Cooler Tutor” calendar and reads busy and free times. It does not read event titles or details from your other calendars.
Does it work with Apple Calendar or Outlook?
Yes, through the private view-only link. It cannot detect conflicts there, because those calendars only read the feed.
