How One-to-One, Online & Home Tutors Run on TuitionDesk — Sessions, Fees & Parent Updates

Teach one student at a time, online or at their home, and still run it like a business. See how sessions, proof of visit, fees and parent updates work for private and remedial tutors — from a single owner login.

Setup flow

How a One-to-One Tutor Sets Up on TuitionDesk

The same 5-step flow for an online tutor, a home tutor or a remedial class — set up once, then teach.

Org setup

Create your organisation and set your country

The tutor creates the organisation and sets Country of Operation, which switches the billing currency, payment processor, timezone and date format to match where they work.

Add students

Add each student and their parent

Add every student and link their parent, so fees, attendance and progress reach the right family through the parent portal.

Sessions

Schedule online or home sessions

For an online session, set the mode to online with a Zoom, Teams or Google Meet link. For a home visit, set the mode to offline with no Venue, because the class happens at the student’s own address.

Proof of visit

Check in and check out on the visit

For a home session the tutor’s geo-tagged check-in and check-out, captured from their phone at the time of the visit, proves the session took place at the student’s address.

Fees & parents

Bill the family and keep them informed

Fee plans, EMI and instalment schedules and invoices are visible in one fee dashboard. Parents follow fees, attendance and progress in the parent portal with push, WhatsApp and email notifications.

4 ways to teach

Pick How You Teach

Every way below runs on the same TuitionDesk account, and you can mix them.

Way 1 · Online one-to-one

Teach online, students anywhere

Every session is set to mode: online with a Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet link attached, so the student can join from anywhere.

Way 2 · Home tutor

The tutor travels to the student

Sessions are set to mode: offline with no Venue assigned. The tutor’s geo-tagged check-in and check-out is what proves the visit happened.

Way 3 · Hybrid

Some sessions online, some at home or in person

A batch can mix online and offline sessions, and the mode can be overridden on any single session, without creating a second batch.

Way 4 · Remedial & catch-up classes

Small focused batches

Run a remedial or catch-up class as a small batch with its own timetable and fee plan, and keep the parent updated on attendance and progress through the portal.

FAQ

Questions about running this on TuitionDesk

Can I teach online and at students’ homes with the same account?

Yes. Mode — online, offline or hybrid — is set per session, batch or schedule, not per organisation, so one account can run online and home sessions side by side.

How does TuitionDesk prove a home tutor actually visited?

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.

Can I use Zoom, Teams or Google Meet for online sessions?

Yes. Online sessions are set to mode: online with a Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet link attached.

Is there a free plan for a single tutor?

Yes. The Free plan covers up to 10 students and 1 teacher with no time limit and no credit card required. Growing past that moves to Starter, up to 75 students and 5 teachers.

How do parents stay updated?

Every parent gets the parent portal for fees, attendance and progress, with push, WhatsApp and email notifications.
