How to sync Teach ’n Go with Google Calendar

How to connect Teach 'n Go to Google Calendar, what syncs for each role, and how to fix a sync that has stopped updating.

Written by Abdullah Al-Hussein

Teach 'n Go allows all school members to sync their accounts with Google Calendar. Once connected, new lessons and events appear in your Google Calendar automatically, helping you stay organised and up to date.

Connect your Google Calendar

  1. Click your Profile (top right corner).

  2. Select My profile.

  3. From the right-hand menu, click Google Calendar.

  4. Set Google Sync to Yes.

  5. Click Sign in with Google.

  6. Choose the Gmail account you want to sync.

  7. Follow the on-screen steps to grant permission.

Students and related contacts turn the same setting on from their portal account page rather than from My profile.

What syncs for your role

What reaches your Google Calendar depends on the role you are using, not on a calendar setting. There is no option to narrow the sync to a subset of lessons, courses or dates — the connection is a single on or off switch per login, per school.

  • Admin — every lesson and event in the school

  • Teacher — only the lessons you are assigned to teach, plus the events you are a member of

  • Staff — all lessons of the classes you are attached to, plus the events you are a member of

  • Students and related contacts — only the lessons the student is enrolled in, for the period of their enrolment

So an admin who also teaches sees the whole school's timetable in their Google Calendar. To see only your own classes, connect Google Calendar from a separate teacher login — see Using both an admin and a teacher account.

How syncing works

  • New classes, lessons and events are added automatically

  • Updates to existing lessons also sync

  • Changes can take from a few seconds to several minutes to appear

If you don't see updates immediately, please allow some time for the sync to complete.

Troubleshooting Google sync issues

If lessons or events are not appearing or updating correctly, remove the calendar on the Google side and then reconnect.

Step 1: Remove the Teach 'n Go calendar from Google

  1. Open Google Calendar.

  2. Find the Teach 'n Go calendar in your calendar list.

  3. Remove or unsubscribe from it.

Step 2: Reconnect in Teach 'n Go

  1. Go to My profile → Google Calendar in Teach 'n Go.

  2. Set Google Sync to No and click Save.

  3. Set it back to Yes and click Save again.

  4. Click Sign in with Google and reconnect your account.

If the issue continues after reconnecting, contact support through the in-app chat or email info@teachngo.com.

If you would rather subscribe to your schedule read-only from Apple Calendar, Outlook or another application, see Sync your Teach 'n Go schedule using the iCal feed.
