For private tutors
One person. Almost everything switched off.
A tutor does not have branches, a staff directory, an admissions pipeline or a payroll, and a product that shows thirteen empty destinations has failed them more completely than one that does too little. So this profile starts with the smallest product we ship — your groups, who is in them, who has paid, and what you taught — and every one of the others is still there to switch on the day you hire somebody.
You are the only account. There is no invitation to send, no role to configure and no permission to get wrong.
The words
These are the words on your screens. Not ours.
Every one of these is read from the same table the product reads, so this list cannot describe a vocabulary we do not ship. You can change any of them afterwards in Settings, and the change reaches the printed receipt and the WhatsApp message as well as the screen.

What you get
Switched on on the day you are approved.
This list is the module registry itself. A part of the product that does not exist cannot appear here, and a part that is switched on for you cannot be left off.
On from the start
Website
Your public pages, and the enquiry form on them.
Files
Shared folders for circulars, forms and archives that belong to the tuition.
Portal
A sign-in where students and their parents see their own attendance, fees and results.
Exams
Exams, marks, and the grade tables they are read against.
Courses
Published courses with lessons and live classes, for students to work through on their own.
There when you want it
Not usual for this kind of institution, and fully supported. Switch any of them on from Settings; nothing has to be bought first.
Branches
More than one place to teach, each with its own students, staff and takings.
Staff
A directory of the people who work here, with invitations, roles and profiles.
Accounts
Money going out — expenses, tutor payouts, the cash drawer and the books.
Admissions
The enquiry pipeline, from the first phone call through to enrolment.
Question bank
A reusable store of questions, and the papers and online tests built from it.
Students, attendance, fees, notices, reports and documents are on for every institution and are not listed here. They are the product rather than a part of it.
The shape of it
- Teaching group
- One group, usually for one subject
- The academic cycle
- Rolling — no year to open or close
- Fees
- Charged every month
- Attendance
- Marked once for the whole group
The staff you can add
Created for you at approval, in this order, each with the abilities its job needs and nothing else. You can edit any of them, and you can add your own.
- Tuition Admin
Everything on this page except the paragraph at the top is read from the product's own configuration — the same tables the running software reads. It is not a description of what we intend to build for you. It is what you would get.
Not what you run?
There is a page for each of the others.
