For tutors: working on the platform — School π

For tutors: everything in one place

Schedule, homework, tests, income and progress reports, messaging and video calls — on one platform, without a dozen services around it. We don't take a commission on lessons: you settle with students directly.

A tutor at work on the platform

Why we built it

The platform was built by a practicing tutor for their own work. Before it, everything was scattered across services: the schedule in Google Sheets, lesson links through a third-party service, the whiteboard in a separate app, and finding students on various websites.

Here it's all brought together. Plus what spreadsheets can't do: tests that grade themselves and let you assess knowledge quickly and outside lesson time, and courses that students work through on their own. In effect, a tutor can move their entire lesson plan onto the platform: build each lesson, set checkpoints and attach materials for self-study.

Digital tools work well in teaching — students are drawn to them. If tutors have feature requests, we are ready to add them.

Builder: test → lesson → course

  1. Test

    Five question types: single answer, multiple answers, typed answer, fill-in-the-blanks and matching. Formulas are entered properly — fractions with a bar, roots under a radical sign. Grading is automatic and the history of attempts is saved.

  2. Lesson

    Materials are attached to a lesson — a PDF opens right on the page, nothing to download — and a test is linked to it. The student studies, takes the test and sees the result.

  3. Course

    A course is built from lessons and completed step by step. You can make a course on a single topic — logarithms, for example — or for a whole grade or exam preparation.

To be honest about time: a test takes the longest to build — answer options, wording, images. A simple test of ten ready-made questions can be entered in about five minutes; you can also ask AI to draft it and then edit the result. A lesson and a course are put together quickly: attach materials, choose a test, add the lesson to the course — a couple more minutes. A course of ten simple lessons is about an hour of work. After that the student works through it on their own, consolidates the material and comes to the lesson with questions.

What the platform offers

AI test drafts

Describe the test you need in words and a draft will appear in the builder. You can select your uploaded materials, and the questions will be based on what they contain. Then you edit the draft like a regular test: the tutor, not the program, is responsible for the content. Access is granted on request.

Student's view

The preview button shows the test exactly as the student will see it — before you assign it.

Access per student

Courses are opened selectively: a ninth-grader has no need to see a test for fifth grade.

Lessons and income

Mark a lesson — the income is calculated. For a period, by month, by student; average lesson price, prepaid amount, expected income. Excel export.

Progress in numbers

Average test score, month-by-month trends, average homework grade and the share accepted on the first try. A summary for all students at once.

Homework

An assignment as a file, a solution from the student, review with markups and a grade. The revision history is saved and included in the report.

Group lessons

One mark for the whole group, income by the number of participants, assignments to everyone at once with individual review for each.

Schedule and reminders

A weekly grid with all students, a counter of paid lessons and a reminder to both of you half an hour before the lesson.

Chat with students

Messaging on the platform, stored encrypted.

Video call

A lesson starts from the site: an online whiteboard and screen sharing are built in, and the student doesn't need to install anything.

Progress

Results of completed tests for each student with a breakdown of answers.

Requests from students

Students choose a tutor from the list and send a request with a cover message. There is also matching by description: a person describes what they need and receives suitable profiles.

Everyone gets an equal place in the list

The order of profiles does not depend on who signed up first. You specify how many students you can take, and while you have open slots you are shown on equal terms with everyone else.

Reviews

Only someone who actually took lessons can write a review, and no earlier than two weeks after starting. You can reply to a review but not remove it — neither you nor we on request.

Money

  • Payment for lessons goes directly between the student and the tutor. The platform does not accept or process payments.
  • There is no commission on lessons.
  • Access is currently free. The platform is in test mode. When paid plans appear, a free plan will remain — with a small number of students and test drafts, so that you can work without paying. We will warn you about any changes in advance rather than present them as a done deal.
  • Your form of work is your choice. Self-employed, sole proprietor or unregistered — it doesn't matter to the platform, and receipts and tax reporting are your responsibility.

How to start

  1. Fill in the application

    Registration is standard: your details, a photo, a few words about yourself, and subjects with lesson price and length.

  2. Wait for review

    Usually one or two business days, faster when there is no queue. We check the photo, the tutor information, the subjects and prices.

  3. Start working

    Once approved, your profile appears in the “Our tutors” section and students can send you requests.
