It was completely set up for all of my clients and tutors within half a day. It has since saved me hours of admin work each month, and also means that follow up is more timely and accurate. Pros I have been operating my business since 2012 and using TutorBird since 2021. It saves me hours of time in admin but also keeps accurate details and records of clients and lessons, so it improves customer service. Cons I would like to be able to integrate with other apps to reduce even more admin time. This isn't currently possible within Tutorbird. Alternatives considered [TutorCruncher](https://www.capterra.com/p/145838/TutorCruncher/) Reason for choosing TutorBird It is more cost effective and much easier to use. Review Source BK Barbara K. Licensee Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "LOVE Using Tutor Bird for my business" June 22, 2026 5.0 Excellent. It has made managing my tutoring business so much easier. I love the calendar and the invoicing. Pros Easy to set up and use. Great value for the money. I love that it is a Canadian company and I am billed in CDN $$. Cons I haven't figured out SMS messaging yet, but I haven't given this much effort either. Is there a way to have the comments send automatically without having to click on the recipients at the bottom of the screen each time? Switched from [Teachworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/233485/Teachworks/) I wanted a Canadian company that would bill me in Canadian dollars so my costs remained consistent not dependent on currency fluctuation. Review Source IA Ioana A. Founder Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best tool I found for a tutoring company " September 7, 2023 3.0 Good Pros Many options , easy to personalize to each student needs Cons No undo button. Once you did something is very hard to repair. The view on the iPhone, there are some features missing still. Sometimes is having errors and I need to check manually all payments, the note taking system is very confusing. Most important the most important report is missing. How much I spent for a student (by paying other tutors) and how much is left for the company. If I want to make a discount, I need to calculate manually Review Source MH Matthew H. Tutor Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent value and easy to use, but support could be quicker" April 6, 2026 4.0 TutorBird offers excellent value for money. It’s a very user-friendly platform that allows you to get up and running quickly, and the all-in-one functionality is a major advantage. While support responsiveness could be improved, the system itself is reliable and intuitive. If you’re comfortable working things out independently, it’s a great choice for managing a tutoring business. Pros TutorBird is incredibly easy to set up and navigate, even if you’re not particularly tech-savvy. The integrations are a standout feature — having scheduling, payments, communication, and student management all in one place saves a huge amount of time and money. It really streamlines running a tutoring business. Cons Customer support can be slow to respond. I’ve experienced waiting a couple of weeks for a reply to a technical issue, which can be frustrating when you need a quick resolution. Alternatives considered [Teachworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/233485/Teachworks/)[TutorCruncher](https://www.capterra.com/p/145838/TutorCruncher/) Reason for choosing TutorBird We chose TutorBird because it’s easy to set up and use, has excellent all-in-one integration for scheduling, billing, and client management, and offers great value for money compared to alternatives. Its intuitive interface and automated features save significant administrative time, making it ideal for running a small tutoring business efficiently. Review Source DS Deanna S. Co-Founder Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Taking my solo practice to another level" June 20, 2026 5.0 It has made things way easier than the many products i used before. I miss way less now! I can pay my tutors so quickly and everything's in one place so I save time! Pros Student and parent management, tracking payments, attendance, easy to navigate. Very organized for multiple types of students. Cons From the home screen there's no way to directly edit the appointments on the agenda which would be really helpful. I also like if the calendar synced to my Google Calendar more frequently. Switched from [Teachworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/233485/Teachworks/) TutorBird was cheaper than the alternative and it's easier to use. Review Source JM Jessica M. Owner Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One software for all of your tutoring business needs! " February 5, 2025 5.0 TutorBird is super user friendly. I absolutely love the automatic capabilities this software has an it's very affordable. The customer service is AMAZING! Pros I can use one software for all of my business needs. Cons I wish it had more report running capabilities like profit and loss. It would make tax time easier. Switched from [Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/) I switched because I had to have a separate software for the schedule and reminders. Wave does have better report capabilities. Review Source PL Precious L. Founder Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Must have tool for your tutoring business" February 10, 2025 5.0 Pros I love how the team takes in feature requests and builds a product based on their customers. Cons Overall, it's very difficult to come up with something that I don't like since it's been working well for our business so far. Switched from [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) I love TutorBird's automations and billing management capabilities. Review Source MH Mark H. CFO Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform for running a growing tutoring business!" November 14, 2024 5.0 We needed a platform to help us manage our rapidly growing company...we needed one system to manage our instructor and client schedules, invoicing, contractor payroll, etc. We evaluated several companies, and TutorBird stood out and we've been extremely happy with our choice. The platform works great for virtually all of our needs, the support team is knowledgeable, friendly and responsive, and improvements and updates are frequent. Great platform, great company - we've been extremely happy to be part of the TutorBird family! Pros Streamlines our entire operation from tutor scheduling and calendar management to client scheduling to invoicing and contractor payroll management all in one easy to use platform. Responsive, knowledgeable and friendly customer service team! Cons The platform is generally very flexible, but I would like some more flexibility in client specific settings - some settings are global and not easily customized to an individual client need. Alternatives considered [Bizstim](https://www.capterra.com/p/163624/Bizstim-Business-Software/) Reason for choosing TutorBird Honestly, the owner/founder really turned us off. Quite condescending. But we found TutorBird thanks to them because they had a comparison chart that made us consider TutorBird Review Source KT Karisa T. founder and CEO Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Makes my life better " June 22, 2026 5.0 Wonderful customer service, friendly platform. Not too corporate. Family friendly. Fun to use and intuitive to learn. Pros Easy to use, provides everything I need to run a successful business. Easy to manage tutors and students. Cons I wish the webinars were available for replay longer! :) Would be nice to have a place specifically for parents to store report cards. Review Source EJ Emily J. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "10/10 would recommend" November 24, 2025 5.0 Tutorbird has been amazing to work with! Overall I would highly recommend this service to anyone. They are fantastic and setting up a lot of automations and giving my families reminders so I don't have to think about that. Pros Tutorbird is very user friendly and the customer support is amazing! They are always available to help out if you need it and have a huge library of videos to learn how to do specific tasks. Cons Unless I haven't figured it out yet, I would like the ability to connect Tutorbird to my Google Calendar AND have each student get their unique link sent to them. I use Google Meets to tutor, so each family has a unique session ID. Review Source CC Carla C. Founder Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I love the platforms" June 22, 2024 5.0 Since I discovered last year, my business changed Pros I like that TutorBird offers a comprehensive platform that simplifies the management of tutoring businesses. It provides a user-friendly interface and integrates essential features such as scheduling, billing, and communication tools. The ability to easily organize sessions, track student progress, and handle administrative tasks in one place is highly convenient. And the most important thing, the price is so affordable Cons The website tools, but the rest it\`s amazing Switched from [AgendaPro](https://www.capterra.com/p/218709/AgendaPro/) Because the dont have so many options as a tutor that i need Review Source MN Martin N. Tutor Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "TutorBird does the job for my tutoring small business" April 13, 2025 4.0 Very positive and great. It makes the admin work for my business easy and stress free. Pros Does all my admin work for my small business, such as scheduling, payments etc. Cons Further customisations of the business settings, including using credits to sign up for lessons (if prepaid), similar to the make-up credit system. On the website creation section, customisation of the actual widget itself and choosing what to add for each widget. Review Source SS Sally S. Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great one stop shop" September 24, 2024 5.0 Overall I am thrilled with the product. Pros The one stop shop aspect to TutorBird is the best! My students all over the world can access their portal, notes, scheduling, invoicing, after class notes, my blog and resources I add for them. It's an awesome tracking tool for them as well! Cons I wish students could buy a bulk package and not be scheduled and use invoicing. I have to use another system to allow bulk package purchases. Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) To find a one stop shop for my business. Review Source HA Hailey A. Chinese Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good Service for the Price" August 8, 2024 5.0 Pros Out of all the individual tutoring business options, this is by far the best I've found, especially for the price! $14.95 USD per month is great for all the services TutorBird provides. I created a website through them, and for the most part, it does everything I need it to. Their support team is also quite responsive. Cons While the website does everything I need it to, it certainly lacks the ability to customize. You have to use their website building blocks, and there is little you can do outside of what they provide. I also would like to see improvement for tutors and learners in different time zones. For those of us who travel, it would be extremely helpful to simply change the time zone in settings, then have the lessons reflect that new time. However, you have to do all of that VERY manually. Review Source MM Megan M. Private Reading Specialist E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game Changer for Online Tutoring! " September 8, 2023 5.0 Tutorbird was a game changer for my small business. It has greatly helped me streamline all of the admin pieces of running a business (tracking attendance, calendar management, lesson reminders to clients, invoicing, parent notes/communication, tracking expenses, and even sending automotive birthday emails to my students! It seriously has everything I need to run a successful tutoring business. Pros As a reading specialist, my expertise is NOT in software, calendar management, invoicing, etc... Tutorbird allows me to not worry about that (and spend my valuable time on trying to manage the admin side of running a business)! I am able to focus on teaching. The emails and invoices are very professional and it is nice to have everything in one place. Cons Honestly, there are none at this time. My biggest was around lost notes because there was no autosave feature, which they just changed! YAY! Review Source CQ Cheryl Q. Founder/Owner Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The all-in-one product for my business" September 12, 2023 5.0 Mentioned above Pros \- I like that I can use TB for all my business needs - invoicing, calendar and schedule, managing of teachers, uploading and downloading worksheets, website integration for student enrolment- I also like the email function- Parents and students can use TB for calendar and schedule, uploading and downloading worksheets- The student and parent portal makes my business more professional Cons \- A messaging function for tutors and parents/students would be good (similar to what Edmodo had) - Notification of when students/parents package is almost completed. For eg my students prepay lessons in packages of 6 or 10. Currently, I need to manually check student balances weekly.- Currently, any lesson notes sent and any following lesson notes sent for the same lesson is added to the same section and if we send out subsequent lesson notes for that same lesson, everything is consolidated. It would be good to separate future notes. For eg, after the lesson, I will send lessons notes and homework, etc. Then, after I have marked students' homework, I will send it to students at a future date. All this will end up consolidated as one and if I send an email, this will be sent out as one. We could separate this so that students/parents and teachers can see that a second note has been sent at a later date.- A homework assignment function like in Edmodo previously - A specific place for students to submit their homework/worksheets. And if students don't submit by the due date, a reminder will automatically be sent out. Currently I have to keep checking individual students to see if they have submitted - quite time consuming and confusing- Integration with Convertkit would be great as I have to manually add registrations to convertkit at the moment- More flexibility in registration form. Right now, the student email is optional but i need it to be compulsory Reason for choosing TutorBird price point is more competitive and customer service is efficient and quick in response Review Source TH Tricia H. Owner Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LOVE Tutor Bird!" September 7, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with TutorBird has been awesome! I really love this company, the software, and the staff I deal with when I need support. It meets so much of my business' needs. I honestly think I would not be as successful as I have been the last 4 years without TB. The fact that payroll is linked to the schedule and attendance really makes my life better! I also love that you can customize the payroll for different things, as well. I haven't used all of the features yet, but I have participated in the Beta version and love that TB is willing to listen and implement suggestions from their users. Overall, a fantastic value for a fantastic service! Pros What I love the most about TutorBird is how everything I need is in one place! I researched a bunch of different options and TB seemed to have almost everything I needed. In addition to the functionality of the software, I also love the support I receive from them. ANY time I email them, I get a response very quickly and they resolve it. I am in my 4th year with TutorBird and look forward to growing with them! Cons The thing I like least about TutorBird is have only one option for payment through the system. Reason for choosing TutorBird I chose TB because of the value for the money. I felt like I got more options and services through TutorBird than any other company I looked at. Review Source CE Claire E. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review of TutorBird" September 8, 2023 5.0 As I moved away from teaching on a platform to build my own business, TutorBird has made it easy for my students. Pros I like that my students can log in to book lessons and that they can pay me through the platform. Cons I don't think that I fully take advantage of all the features that the platform offers, so I should probably try to learn about them. I would appreciate it if the calendar could link to my Google calendar (both ways) - just for lessons booked, not all lessons available. Reason for choosing TutorBird TutorBird came highly recommended by other tutors and I have been happy with my choice. Review Source DZ Darci Z. Online Reading Therapist E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "love Tutorbird" September 8, 2023 5.0 Pros I use Tutorbird to schedule all my students and keep track of all my income and expenses. My invoices are automatically sent and my clients' cc is automatically charged without me even doing anything. It saves me so much time. At tax time I print out reports from Tutorbird to bring to my tax guy. I also use Tutorbird to write down a short note about what I have done during each session. There are other features on TB that I have not even used. Cons I like to sync my calendar with my google calendar and it takes about a day for it to sync. I wish it was faster becauseI like the view on google calendar better- that I can print out on 1 page showing a week all in 1/2 hour blocks. Review Source SA Sandi A. Teacher/Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worthwhile Investment" September 7, 2023 5.0 I have been thrilled with Tutorbird as my office management system for my online tutoring business. I would, and have, recommended it to many others! Pros Tutorbird has revolutionized my tutoring business and lessened the stress of running the day-to-day aspects. I love that it is easy to use and can accomplish so many tasks all in one place. Getting things together for taxes was a breeze thanks to Tutorbird. Cons The only con I've found so far is that there isn't a way to collect payments though multiple means. Currently, you are limited to Stripe and Paypal, but you have to choose. Review Source MS Meg S. Owner Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tutorbird - Saves me Time" September 7, 2023 5.0 Tutorbird has helped me schedule, collect payments, and keep my tutoring business organized. Pros Tutorbird allows me to create a schedule for myself and other tutors. Parents know when their lessons are scheduled and invoices that match the calendar are created and sent. The process is seamless. Cons There are not many customizable features in the software. Reason for choosing TutorBird Na Review Source KM Karen M. Reading Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game Changer for my tutoring business " September 8, 2023 5.0 It’s my game changer. I use it countless times a day. Pros Going back 5 years, I remember my cumbersome paper planner I carried in my purse and countless daily texts from parents requesting to schedule a session. Now I’ve streamlined my whole process by adding TutorBird. The best part? It takes me 5 minutes to send out monthly invoices. Cons Adding information can take a while, locating sections is not always easy and I use the search bar frequently. Also, screens do not move easily from one section to the next. (Especially the invoices section on my iPhone app) I’m hopeful this can be improved because I’m not sure I can live without this program. Review Source QR Qutadah R. Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fulfills my needs perfectly" April 28, 2024 5.0 Perfect, i cant say how much it actually helps me! Pros Customer support is on point. There is great understanding of the product from the team. Cons One central timezone for all the business. I would like ti have different timezones for tutors. Reason for choosing TutorBird Easiest to integrate and use. It was also catchy when i got into it, and i started learning how to use it properly. Review Source SB Sheryl B. Dyslexia Specialist & Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "TutorBird has saved me so much time" September 7, 2023 5.0 I have been extremely happy with TutorBird. If I have any questions, I can often find the answer in the "Help" section. If not, I contact someone and the answer comes quickly. Pros TutorBird makes scheduling, invoicing, student reporting, sending reminders, and even bookkeeping so easy. I hesitated using TutorBird until I saw a demonstration. I realized how much time I had spent trying to do all of these things using separate systems. TutorBird has it all in one place. Cons At this time, I have not found anything that I do not like about TutorBird. Reason for choosing TutorBird I did not have another option at that time. Review Source KS Khaled S. Head Tutor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why I Love Tutorbird!" September 8, 2023 4.0 Amazing, it took my business to the next level! Pros It has everything I need in one place. This includes scheduling, reporting, resource sharing, invoicing, creating business reports, managing multiple tutors, and more! Cons I'd like students/parents to be able to request to schedule their own lessons where there are available time-slots without making "open lessons" everywhere. I also wish they had more CRM feature like easier flow from prospect to full time client, and email campaigns with triggers and timed emails. Lastly, would like to be able to see how much I'm owed for a specific month (not up to a certain date) Review Source
