In their own words
Tutoressa
Tutoressa is an app for independent tutors to manage students, lessons, payments, and notes. Its calendar offers day, week, and month views, recurring lessons, working hours, blocked availability, and rescheduling. Tutors can generate payment notices, track payments, manage credits, and record charges and private business expenses. Invited students and parents have free access to their own view of lessons, schedules, and payment notices. Native iOS and Android apps provide push lesson reminders, scheduling requests, and payment updates. Schedules appear in each user's local time; for cross-country lessons, the student's local time appears alongside the tutor's. Solo includes iCal and CSV export. The Free plan costs nothing and supports up to 2 active students and 3 payment records. Solo costs $24.99 a month and supports up to 8 active students, group lessons of up to 4 students, and 10 payment notices per month. Pro costs $29.99 a month and has unlimited active students, payment notices, and group size. The product is designed for solo tutors and does not yet collect card payments from students.
