How To Manage Your Students Effectively?


Home Tutor Helper

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
  • Student Contact Information
  • Automatic Birthday Greeting
  • Student and Parent Access
  • Track Income and Expenses
  • Invoice History
  • Your own professional studio website
  • & more
 We feel that out of all the features above, home tutors can really benefit from using the Live Calendar to schedule all lessons and make-up lessons. Tutors can use the mobile app to view the calendar. The tracking of lessons and payment will also provide quite a bit of convenience.

For the free plan, you can sign up at Music Teacher Helper.

Do let us know if it works for you.

Reviews & Ratings


We always believe that customers’ testimonials are the best marketing tool for any tutor.

Testimonials are now available on tutor’s full profile page. Each testimonial comes with a tutor rating which will influence the New Ranking System. These testimonials can be either public or private.

What Is The New Ranking System About?


New Tutor Ranking System

New Tutor Ranking System

With an increasing number of tutors in our database, it it getting more difficult to filter tutor profiles just  by their teaching subjects, teaching areas etc.

We have therefore introduced a brand new ranking system for all tutors!

On a scale of 5 stars, tutors will be rated relative to each other. This is how it works.

For every assignment which a tutor has been assigned, the tutor will be given a rating by the student/parent. All the accumulated rating will be calculated into a single score. The number of stars which a tutor will be given will be based on their relative score compared to other tutors. Only the top scorers will be given 5 stars.

Tutors who have yet to receive any assignment from us will not be given any star.
