TutorStack is best for growing UK tutoring agencies with 3 to 75 tutors that want their workflows configured with their team, built-in supervised communication and direct access to the founders. An established platform may suit you better if you need extensive integrations, automated split payments or school-management features today.

Established platforms offer broad standard systems with onboarding and configuration. TutorStack is built around a closer working relationship: we configure the core workflow with growing agencies of 3 to 75 tutors and keep refining it through real use.
You will not be left to configure TutorStack alone. We map how your agency handles enquiries, matching, communication, lessons, payments and tutor pay, then configure the agreed roles, branding and workflows with you. We also help bring across current parents, tutors and active assignments before supporting your team through a real-work trial.
TutorStack brings the core operational decisions and records into one workspace. Enquiries, tutor shortlisting, supervised conversations, lesson confirmation, lesson credits and tutor earnings remain connected instead of being spread across separate tools. You may still use external tools for other purposes, but they should no longer hold the only record of what is happening.
Parents, tutors and administrators communicate through shared, supervised conversations connected to each tutoring relationship. Administrators retain visibility and control without every conversation having to pass through a private WhatsApp or email thread. AI can prepare enquiry replies and personalised message drafts, but an administrator reviews substantive messages before they are sent.
Yes. Confirmed lessons can sync one way from TutorStack to Google Calendar for parents and tutors. Scheduling changes are made in TutorStack so everyone works from the same shared record. Administrators also have a business-wide desktop calendar showing scheduled, completed, cancelled, disputed and missing-log activity.
Parents purchase lesson credits before tutoring takes place. Completed lesson records reduce the remaining balance and calculate tutor earnings from the same underlying information. TutorStack prepares the tutor-pay information, but the business currently completes the bank transfers. If you require complex invoicing or automated split payments today, an established platform may fit better.
Yes. Parents, tutors, students and administrators can use TutorStack through mobile-responsive browser portals, with progressive web app installation and push notifications where supported. TutorStack does not currently promise a native iOS or Android app, and the business-wide administrator calendar remains desktop-only.
TutorStack is our recommendation for its intended customer, but a specific requirement can make an established platform the better fit.

Often, yes. TutorStack is normally the premium option compared with a flat subscription. Early-access pricing is 3% to 8% of payments through TutorStack, plus Stripe, with the exact rate agreed before the free two-week trial.
| Monthly payments | At 3% | At 8% |
|---|---|---|
| £5,000 | £150 | £400 |
| £10,000 | £300 | £800 |
| £25,000 | £750 | £2,000 |
The percentage funds hands-on setup, direct support and continued workflow refinement. Compare that operating value with the lower software cost of a self-configured platform.
