In their own words
Tutitor
Tutitor brings student records, lesson scheduling, attendance and tuition invoicing together for private and freelance tutors. Tutors can save student and parent contacts, notes, tags and prices, with rates set by subject, student or monthly plan. Its calendar handles recurring and one-off lessons, group classes, and in-person or online sessions. Invoices can be generated from attendance after each lesson, weekly or monthly; the site says a lesson is not billed twice. Lessons sync with Google Calendar, online sessions can get Google Meet links, and private calendar feeds work with Apple Calendar and Outlook. Invoices can display QR images, bank details, payment links or written payment instructions, but Tutitor does not process card payments. The app and invoices support 21 languages and billing in 42 currencies, without currency conversion. Each tutor gets a 15 GB library for files, videos, links and notes. The free plan is free, billed forever, with unlimited students, lessons and invoices. Tutitor runs on Android, iOS and the web.
