TutorCruncher is a great product that is generally well-supported and seems to be growing. My company has around 1500 hours documented in the software so far. If you are serious about creating a robust tutoring business I recommend Tutor Cruncher. If you think you may just stay independent I would recommend one of the cheaper tutor management products or just using the Google suite.

Pros

This software is fantastic for documenting tutoring sessions and keeping track of payments from clients and to tutors. If they roll out the UK features of split disbursement and lower credit card fees using a native payment within the app to the US it will be even better.

The API and API support is also excellent

Cons

The calendar synch is one-way and delayed. That may not be a big deal for a brick-and-mortar tutoring business using employed tutors. However for my use case (100% virtual tutoring using independent tutors using different calendars and meeting software) the lack of an effective calendar synch means many of the scheduling and availability "features" are actually in the way and confusing to clients. We can only use tutor cruncher on the "backside" of the appointment to document and charge. As an example of a feature that is desperately needed, the availability needs to be able to automatically update when a tutor schedules something on their personal calendar (similar to Google Calendar appointments). As it stands a tutor would need to constantly manage their tutor cruncher availability. It just isn't worth it for tutors who are doing this part time.

Another issue is that there is currently no way to have fields that only a tutor sees but are uneditable for the tutor. I would love to communicate various poliies and information to turtors inside their TutorCrucnher accounts, but tutro custom fields are editable by the tutor. Seems like a a relatively simple function to no include.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a detailed review! We're glad to hear that you've found the platform useful. We'll definitely work on making our calendars more intuitive!

Pros

Tailored to UK regulations and fairly flexible. Can be customised to suit your needs. Does everything you need it to manage a tuition business

Cons

Business analytics functions are severely lacking. They've supposedly been "in progress" since we started using Tutorcruncher 4 years ago and still nothing has changed

It does the job, but is clunky to use, their are often bugs and agents are not well trained enough to help and language is a barrier.

Pros

The ability for tutors to do their own invoicing and split payments work well and keep us below the VAT threshold.

Cons

The customer service is terrible. The agents try their best, but language barriers seem to be an issue. The questions don't get answered fully the first time round, there is a lot of back and forth until the agent understands what you mean, often you figure out the answer yourself in the process (by elimination) and I have been given wrong information in the past, such as that it is possible to split payment three ways - it is not!! This then caused issues with tutor payments. It would be good if this feature was available, it looks like it should be - but then it doesn't work with Stripe.

We recently experienced some bugs in creating a new tutor profile. We hired a few tutors in March and created the accounts of Tutorcrunch for them. However, all of the new accounts registered in March have disappeared suddenly without any record/history left behind. We know there is a function in TC to check the history of any action. But those affected accounts have disappeared and no record. They just liked not being created. Those tutors have to re-do the setup to their account. This is quite inconvenient for them.

Pros

The tutors' availbility is amazing for communicating with tutors in different time zones.

Cons

1. The calendar only shows one time zone, we need to switch every time in the setting.
2. If the calendar can be default set as showing 00:00-23:59, it would be best, because we need to manually press something to show more time on the calendar.
