We always hear stories about tutors being late for lessons, tutors/parents forgotten about the number of lessons conducted for the month, tutors having a difficult time chasing payment from parents etc.
Many tutors use their mobile phones’ in-built calendar to keep track of the lessons. Those who are more serious about tuition tend to use a diary/notebook to keep track.
For part-time tutors, undergraduate tutors or full-time tutors with more than 5 students, pen & paper may not be the best solution.
We came across an online application built for tutors to manage their students. There is even an iphone app for tutors to access the data anywhere.
Even though the application is built for music teachers, we have found out that it works perfectly fine for home tutors. The extra features for music teachers can be ignored. It is called Music Teacher Helper.
The best deal is that there is a forever free plan for you to use as long as you have no more than 5 students.
The Free Plan includes features (which home tutors can use):
- Live Calendar
- Automatic Lesson Reminders
- Automatic Invoicing
- Make-up Lessons
- Track Lesson Progress
- Lending Library
- Attendance Report
- Mass E-mail Students

- Automatic Birthday Greeting
- Student and Parent Access

- & more
For the free plan, you can sign up at Music Teacher Helper.
Do let us know if it works for you.
