Scheduling, invoicing, payments, self-booking and progress tracking — built for UK tutors who are sick of spreadsheets and overpriced, outdated software.
No bloat, no complexity. Just the tools that actually make your tutoring business run smoother.
Week view, colour-coded lessons, recurring schedules, conflict detection. Drag, drop, done.
Profiles, notes, family grouping, combined invoicing. Everything about a student in one place.

Parents pick from your available slots and book themselves in. No more back-and-forth texts. You approve or auto-accept.
Track every enquiry from first contact to enrolled student. Never lose a lead to a missed email again.
Per-lesson notes, learning goals, and progress reports parents can see in their portal. Show the value of your teaching.
Families log in to see upcoming lessons, invoices, payments and progress. Professional and transparent.
Built-in Lessonspace integration. Whiteboard, video, screen sharing — launch from your calendar in one click. Coming soon.
The other platforms are good — but most are built for North America, larger agencies, or charge per tutor. We're built UK-first, with one flat price and every feature included.
A well-established North-American platform aimed at music and academic tutors. Pricing scales per tutor and the mobile experience is limited.
UK-based and feature-rich, designed for larger agencies and franchises. Powerful, but priced and configured for organisations bigger than a solo tutor or small centre.
