See all 7 real ways a tuition business runs in Malaysia on TuitionDesk: complete online, complete offline, hybrid, home tutor, single tutor, couple tutor, and tutor agency — fees collected in MYR through Stripe, SST included, every scenario visible from one dashboard.
The same 5-step flow, whatever scenario you run — set the country once, then configure each batch to match how you actually operate.
When creating the organisation, the owner sets Country of Operation to Malaysia. That one setting switches billing currency to MYR, sets Stripe as the payment processor, enables FPX and Touch 'n Go as local payment methods for parents, turns on SST at 8% on invoices, and sets the timezone to Asia/Kuala_Lumpur.
The owner picks which of TuitionDesk's delivery and team scenarios fit their business — complete online, complete offline, hybrid, home tutor, single tutor, couple tutor, or tutor agency — and isn't limited to just one, since mode is set per batch or session rather than per organisation.
For each batch, sessions are set to mode: online with a Zoom, Teams or Google Meet link, mode: offline with a Venue assigned so two batches can't double-book the same room, or mode: offline with no Venue for a home tutor, whose geo-tagged check-in and check-out at the student's address confirm the visit took place — with mode overridable on any individual session for hybrid batches.
Fee plans, EMI and installment schedules, and SST-ready invoices for every student, across every scenario, are billed in MYR and collected through Stripe by FPX, Touch 'n Go, or card, visible to the owner in one fee dashboard.
Every parent gets the same parent portal for fees, attendance and progress, with push, WhatsApp and email notifications, while teacher pay — fixed, per-session, full-time or part-time — stays tracked centrally whether the teacher is a solo owner, one half of a couple, or one of 100+ agency teachers.
Every scenario below runs on the same TuitionDesk account in Malaysia — pick the one (or ones) that match how your tuition business actually works.
Every session in the batch is set to mode: online, with a Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet link attached. Students can join from anywhere, including from outside Malaysia, and fees are still collected in MYR through Stripe — by FPX, Touch 'n Go, or card — with SST-ready invoices.
Every session is set to mode: offline, and each one is assigned a Venue — a room, hall, or studio at the centre — so TuitionDesk won't let two batches double-book the same room at the same time. Instructor check-in and check-out are geo-tagged, so attendance ties to where the class actually happened.
A single batch mixes online and offline sessions, and the mode can be overridden on any individual session — so a student's Tuesday class can be online while their Thursday class is offline at the centre, without needing a second batch.
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 — captured from their phone at the time of the visit — is what confirms the session actually took place there.
A solo operator, possibly teaching every batch themselves, runs any mix of the above delivery modes from one owner login. Up to 10 students and 1 teacher stay on the Free plan at no cost; growing past that moves to Starter (up to 75 students, 5 teachers), shown in MYR at checkout.
Two tutors — often a husband-and-wife team or two partners — each get their own teacher login, splitting subjects or batches between them, typically on the Starter plan as their student count grows past the Free plan's 10-student limit.
A larger agency sends many teachers to students' homes or teaches online across a city or region. Each teacher's pay — fixed, per-session, full-time, or part-time — is tracked and generates a linked expense automatically, and every home visit is geo-tagged on check-in. Agencies this size typically run on the Growth, Pro, or Enterprise plan, shown in MYR at checkout, for the teacher count and branch support they need.
Yes. Mode — online, offline, or hybrid — is set per session, batch, or schedule, not per organisation, so a single TuitionDesk account can run all 7 scenarios side by side, with fees, attendance, and reports combined in one dashboard.
Yes. Setting Country of Operation to Malaysia switches billing to MYR, sets Stripe as the payment processor, and enables FPX and Touch 'n Go as local payment methods for parents, with SST at 8% applied to invoices.
TuitionDesk captures a geo-tagged check-in and check-out location when the tutor marks attendance for a home-tutor session, 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.
Each teacher profile sets an employment type (full-time, part-time, contract, or freelance) and a salary type (fixed monthly, per session, per student per month, or weekly retainer), and each paid salary creates one linked expense automatically.
Free plan for up to 10 students — no time limit, no credit card required. Set your country to Malaysia any time in Settings.
