Tutors in Italy. An AI that answers your phone while you teach

In a lesson, Vicem answers parents and students and takes the details.

In Italy, you can get a local number after a document check, or forward the calls you miss from your own number. Callers there usually speak Italian, and Vicem answers each one in their own language.

What your callers ask

  • “Do you tutor high school math?”
  • “Do you have a slot on Wednesday after school?”
  • “How much is an hour?”
  • “Do you teach online?”

How it works in Italy

  1. Get a local number

    A local number in Italy after a document check: an ID issued in Italy (a residence permit counts), your tax number (Codice fiscale), a recent bill, and a local address.

  2. Give out your Vicem number

    Put your Vicem number on your website, card and profiles, and pick up in the app when you want to talk.

  3. Keep your number

    Forward the calls you miss to your Vicem number. It’s a US number, so your phone company may charge for each forwarded call.

Forwarding codes for your phone company

Callers in Italy usually speak Italian. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.

After hours and urgent calls

Parents call after work and before exams. Vicem answers in the evening and tells you right away when a caller says it can’t wait.

For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 112.

Appointments and requests

Vicem takes the lesson request: the subject, the level and the times that suit them. You confirm the lesson.

An example call. Sam is an example name; yours says your name.

How a call goes

  2. Caller

    I’ll pass that on. How old is he, and which days work after school?

    Thanks. I’ve noted chemistry, age 16, Tuesdays or Thursdays. The tutor will be in touch.
