An app for private tutors: your schedule, students, payments and earnings in one place. Schedule View your week as a grid or a list. Set up a recurring lesson once and it will appear in your schedule automatically. Reschedule or cancel a lesson, or end a recurring series, in a few taps. Students and balances Each student has a balance, so you can see what they have paid in advance and what they owe. Payments are reflected in the balance, and you can check the payment history at any time. Student statistics Every student gets their own statistics: monthly totals and how they compare with last month. See how many lessons were taught and missed, what you have earned, what is still due and what was lost to cancellations. The Transactions tab keeps the student’s full payment history. Group lessons Combine students into groups and set an individual price for each student. Track payments and missed lessons separately for each student. Reschedule or cancel lessons for the entire group at once. Earnings See your week and month in one ring: earned, due, upcoming and lost. Tap a part of the ring or a student to see the details. Widgets Keep upcoming lessons on your Home Screen. Choose from three widget sizes, with information that updates automatically. Apple Watch Your schedule on your wrist: what’s on now, what’s next, and every lesson for today and tomorrow. Cancel a lesson or mark a no-show with a single tap β€” your iPhone updates instantly. Widgets for watch faces and the Smart Stack. Light or dark Choose a light or dark theme, or follow your device settings. Also included: – Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. – Reminders before lessons. – Support for different languages and currencies. – Your data is stored on your device and in your private iCloud account. Your schedule, students and balances stay with you when you change your iPhone. The developer cannot access your data. – Back up your data to a file and restore it in a few taps. – Support on Telegram: you get a reply from the developer, not a bot. Try all features free for 14 days, with no payment card required. After that, a subscription is required to keep using all features.
