Grow trust with your students, like a tree. LessonTree is a lesson journal app for private tutors. Record each lesson in 30 seconds, and use student-organized history to prepare for your next session instantly. Still managing lesson notes in Apple Notes? Once you have more than a handful of students, things get messy fast. LessonTree keeps every lesson organized by student in chronological order, so you always know what happened last time. โ Built for tutors like you - Piano, guitar, violin, and other music teachers - ESL, language, and conversation tutors - Calligraphy, art, and cooking instructors - Programming tutors - Academic tutors and private instructors - Coaches and counselors - Anyone who teaches one-on-one โ Key Features โ Record a lesson in 30 seconds Enter what you covered today and the homework or plan for next time. Attach up to 10 photos. Rate the student's condition on a 5-point scale. Every field is optional, so even a single photo counts as a record. โ Log a lesson with your voice (Siri) โ New in 2.0 Just say "Log a lesson for Emma in LessonTree." Siri asks what happened, and the record is saved without opening the app. You can also check the last and next lesson, reschedule the next one, and add a student by voice. Everything is available from the Shortcuts app, the Action button and the Lock Screen. โ Made for iPhone Duo โ New in 2.0 Open it and past records sit beside today's record, so you can look back as you write. Held upright, they stack top and bottom. Your draft stays put as you open or close it. โ Student-organized lesson history Lessons are automatically sorted by student. Tap a student to see their full lesson history, newest first. Review what you did last time in 10 seconds before the next lesson. โ Search across everything โ New in 2.0 Search student names together with lesson content, next plans and your custom fields. "When did we work on that piece?" takes one search.
