Seven real ways tuition businesses run in Bangladesh, each configured in TuitionDesk: complete online, complete offline, hybrid, home tutor, single tutor, couple tutor, and tutor agency — fees tracked in BDT (৳), VAT-ready, timezone set to Asia/Dhaka.
The same 5 steps apply no matter which of the 7 operating models below you run — or how many of them you mix.
When the owner creates the TuitionDesk organisation, they set Country of Operation to Bangladesh. That one setting switches billing currency to BDT (৳), sets the tax label to VAT at 15%, sets the timezone to Asia/Dhaka, and sets payment provider to manual — bKash, Nagad, cash, or bank transfer recorded by the owner — configured once per organisation.
The owner creates a batch for each operating model in use — Complete Online, Complete Offline, Hybrid, Home Tutor, Single Tutor, Couple Tutor, or Tutor Agency — and can run more than one side by side, since mode is set per session, batch, or schedule, not fixed for the whole organisation.
For centre-based batches, each session gets mode: offline and a Venue — a room or hall — so two batches never double-book the same space. For online batches, each session gets mode: online with a Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams link. For home-tutor sessions, mode is offline with no Venue, and the tutor's geo-tagged check-in and check-out from their phone is what proves the visit happened at the student's address.
Fee plans, EMI/installment schedules, and dues for every batch are tracked in BDT. Because payment provider is manual for Bangladesh, the owner records bKash, Nagad, cash, or bank transfer payments themselves, and TuitionDesk tracks who has paid, who is due, and sends automated reminders.
Every parent — whether their child is online, offline, hybrid, home-tutor, or taught by a single tutor, a couple, or an agency teacher — gets the same parent portal for fees, attendance, and progress, plus push, WhatsApp, and email notifications.
From a single home tutor to a 100+ teacher agency — here is exactly how each model is configured.
Every session across the batch is set to mode: online, with a Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams link attached. Students can be anywhere — even abroad — with sessions scheduled in their own time zone, while fees are tracked in BDT and bKash, Nagad, cash, or bank transfer payments are recorded manually.
Every session is set to mode: offline at the centre, with a Venue — a classroom or hall — assigned per session so two batches never double-book the same room. Instructors check in and check out with a geo-tagged location recorded on each session.
One batch mixes both delivery modes: some sessions set to mode: online, others to mode: offline at the centre, and the mode can be overridden on any individual session — so a student's Tuesday class is online while Thursday's is at the centre.
Sessions are set to mode: offline with no Venue assigned, since the class happens at the student's own address. The tutor's geo-tagged check-in and check-out from their phone is what proves the visit happened where it was supposed to.
A solo owner — often doubling as the only teacher — runs a handful of students on the Free plan (up to 10 students, 1 teacher) or the Starter plan, mixing any of the online, offline, hybrid, or home-tutor modes above for their own students.
Two tutors, such as a husband-and-wife team, split subjects and batches across 2 teacher logins, typically on the Starter plan, with fees, attendance, and schedules for both tutors combined in one dashboard.
A larger agency sends 10 to 100+ teachers to students' homes or teaches them online across a city or region. Teachers are paid fixed, per-session, full-time, or part-time, with geo-tagged check-in recorded for every visit, typically on the Growth, Pro, or Enterprise plan depending on teacher count.
Every model above also includes fees and admissions/enquiry CRM, attendance, a free public academy website, Smart Import from Excel/CSV, and reports. WhatsApp notifications and Aiyan AI — Fee Intelligence, Teacher Insight, and Ask Aiyan — are available from the Growth plan.
Yes. Mode — online, offline, or hybrid — is set per session, batch, or schedule, so one organisation can run any mix of the 7 operating models side by side, with fees, attendance, and reports combined in one dashboard.
Not yet. Setting Country of Operation to Bangladesh switches billing to BDT and tracks every fee, due date, and reminder automatically, but payment provider is manual for Bangladesh today — the owner records bKash, Nagad, cash, or bank transfer payments themselves rather than collecting online through an integrated gateway.
TuitionDesk captures a geo-tagged check-in and check-out location when the tutor marks attendance, so the owner can see where the tutor checked in and out relative to the student's address.
No. When a session is assigned a Venue, TuitionDesk prevents another session from being scheduled in that same venue at the same time.
The Free plan covers up to 10 students and 1 teacher. A couple-tutor practice typically fits Starter, which supports up to 5 teachers. A larger agency with 10 to 100+ teachers typically needs Growth, Pro, or Enterprise, depending on teacher and student count — pricing is shown in BDT at checkout.
Free plan for up to 10 students — no time limit, no credit card required. Set your Country of Operation to Bangladesh any time in Settings.
