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 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 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 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.

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.

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 LR Lorenzo R. Tutor Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Do NOT teach online without Tutorbird!" August 14, 2025 5.0 Pros Literally could not run my business without it. The automatic invoice scheduling will save you hours, the calendar sync is great, automated lesson reminders, etc, this is THE admin tool for anyone who teaches online. Cons Some niche features were a bit unintuitive to set up or find, but this isn't a massive deal. Just messing around in the software should get you what you need. Review Source LH Lucy H. Tutor Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Tutorbird review" October 12, 2025 5.0 Brilliant! Really good product- does exactly what I need it to. Would recommend definitely. Saved me a lot of time Pros Everything! The calendar, the ability for parents to book slots, the invoicing….. etc etc. I also liked the website design Cons The only thing I can think of is to introduce more options with the website design as it’s a little limited. Review Source TG Tiffany G. Student Success Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tutorbird Review " April 22, 2025 4.0 I like that Tutorbird has many uses - invoicing, scheduling, notes, and study features. I would love to have a tab within the attendance tab for a session that contains the student's lesson plan so that tutors can toggle between attendance, notes, and the lesson plan. Pros I like that Parents, students, and tutors can all see a live calendar. Cons There is no record of edits made to the schedule or option to undo a change. Review Source SN Sabelo N. Tutor Maths and Science E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tutorbird is Awesome for my business" September 7, 2023 5.0 Pros The feature that has been the best for my business has to be the lesson or event alerts. Without them, I would be able to work as effectively and efficiently as I do today compared to last year. Cons I would like to see more payment options. Also would like to see more options for adding different links or a backup link. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) I needed a product that would help me save time. Review Source MC Mildred C. Owner / Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Program for Tutors and Educational Businesses" September 8, 2023 5.0 My workload has been dramatically cut. I no longer need a secretary, Tutorbird is so easy to use and their customer service is great. Most of the time when I need help from a company I go through several robots before I can talk to a human. Tutorbird is not like that. I talk to real humans and they are very patient and helpful. Pros I love that the staff can see their schedules. I like that I can color code the tutorials so that the Tutors and find their schedules quickly especially if there is a last-minute change. I love that all of my students' information is in one place. I really love that the clients can pay, get their voices, and see their students' tutorial summaries. I love the automated email features. I love that both the students and the parents have their own portals. Tutorbird has so many features that I still haven't explored and used everything. Cons I tried to find a con and couldn't. I did like the setup of the older version, it gave me more options for differentiating my staff ( like more color choices, and auto-fill was much better. I only had to enter the date range for my invoices once and as long as I didn't close my window, each invoice will have that date range. Now I have to apply the date range every time I do an invoice) Reason for choosing TutorBird Functionality, Customer Service, Easy to use, able to add PayPal for payment, able to customize invoices to reflect my business, automated emails (send out birthday wishes, appointment reminders, etc.), Price, able to add my staff and them also having access to the schedule. 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 AF Alonzo F. Consultant E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "TutorBird ease" January 27, 2025 5.0 I like it. Been using it for a few years now. Pros Its pretty easy to use oce you set it up Cons The setup process is a little difficult to set up, Review Source JR Joan R. Owner/Special Education Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pros and Cons of Tutor Bird" September 8, 2023 5.0 I love the invoice feature and invoice reminders for my families. I also love the end-of-the-year reports that I give to my tax preparer and to my families for their taxes. Pros I like how easy it is to use the scheduling program. I love that I can drop and drag students easily to different days. Love the ability to schedule reoccurring appointments. Cons I dislike that all payment types incur a fee. If Venmo does not cost to do payments in their app it should not cost to do them in this program.I also wish that you had an integrated way to do video lessons with students. Something like the Site Pearl uses. Reason for choosing TutorBird The cost was lower and the features were easier to use. 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 TT Treona T. Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Product Review " September 8, 2023 5.0 Tutorbird is a life saver. Pros The features I love is EVERYTHING! All of the features are amazing . I love the calendar features because I see everything for the entire month. The product is so easy to use and. It keeps my students and their parents up to date with everything. Cons I would love for the product to be able to integrate assessments and create forms like progress reports and more. I have to use other products to be able to get everything that I need. I rather give you that extra $. Review Source JN Janay N. Online Reading Specialist E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing tool for my business!" September 7, 2023 5.0 I have had a great experience with Tutorbird and every time I have a question and call customer service they are so friendly and helpful! Pros When I began using Tutorbird a few years ago it made my whole business run smoother and took so much stress off my plate! Cons It would nice to limit the amount of makeup credits someone can get per month without having to go back and change it monthly. Review Source PV Pam V. Teacher/owner Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Time saving scheduling and invoicing " September 24, 2020 5.0 It is very easy to set up my tutoring schedule for repeated weekly sessions. It is easy to cancel a session as well as to add extra sessions. Takes me a few seconds. Or even better, students can access my calendar to cancel or book their own. Also, the invoicing is very easy. Even though I've been using the product for a few years, I still feel joy at how easy and quick it is to invoice all my families. I like that I have been able to add my logo to the invoices and to customize the communication with my families. Also, I like that they send out birthday wishes! Pros The ease of sending out invoices. It used to take me ages but with this software I can do it in about a minute! I also love the ease of scheduling students. I love that I can send reminders by both email and text and my students and their parents love that too. I love that tutorbird helped me set up a website so students can cancel or book sessions easily. Cons After I create the invoices I have to click on each one to email it to my families. I wish I could just click a button to email all new invoices at once. I also wasn't thrilled that you changed the name of the company. Tutorbird just sounds odd to me. I liked myschoolbooks better. Reason for choosing TutorBird The price was reasonable and it offered everything I needed in terms of invoicing and scheduling. Review Source LB Lori B. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "TutorBird Has Been A Game Changer!" September 11, 2023 5.0 I have been able to focus on tutoring and not the administration side. It has made onboarding students a breeze. Pros I have been able to manage payments so much easier. Syncing with my Google Calendar is a must to show where there are conflicts. I have also been able to hire other freelance tutors and monitor them at a high level. Cons I wish sync would go both ways.The accounting section with have a way to reconcile the expenses and payments. Review Source EC Elaine C. Founder, Principal Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This software saved me!" September 13, 2023 5.0 Tracking my income and finally feel in control! Saving SO MUCH TIME! It was great that I could jump in simply, then I slowly started to add features as my comfort level increased. Moreover, it is not too complicated and bogged down with features I'll never need. Pros It is as if someone read my mind about all the features I needed to run more efficiently, and she created TutorBird. The features are easy to learn and exactly what I need, customer service is amazing, the functions are always improving. Cons That I hadn't found it sooner. I didn't like that I couldn't click and drag sessions from month view - but now I can. Reason for choosing TutorBird I was told a tutor's spouse created the software, so I knew it would have what I needed, and it is at a price I could afford the other system was too costly. I really like that in the slow summer months I can drop down to fewer tutors to save money! Review Source
