Tutoring software helps users manage the operations side of a tutoring or private education company. Tutoring solutions are used to manage tutors’ lessons, connect with students, and track students’ attendances. Tutoring software also handles back office administrative functions by providing a single platform from which users can manage schedules, invoice students, process payments, manage employees’ payroll and organize company data.
Certain tutoring software also offers CRM functionality to manage client accounts and allows users to create pre-formatted real-time reports using data gathered by the system to gain extra insight into business operations. Tutoring software feature sets may include lesson creation, student-tutor matching, attendance tracking, automated email, and grading functionality.
Tutoring solutions provide similar functionality to that offered in student information systems and learning management systems but is specific to the tutoring industry. Most tutoring software will integrate with accounting software to provide a comprehensive back office solution.
To qualify for inclusion in the Tutoring category, a product must:
- Provide a responsive calendar for students and tutors to handle scheduling
- Manage student billing and accept lesson payments
- Contain a channel for student-tutor communication
- Automatically send email notifications to students about lessons
