While TutorPanel was built to meet the needs of tutoring companies with multiple tutors, it is also used by independent tutors that want to keep their tutoring businesses organized.
The great thing about TutorPanel is that it doesn't need to be downloaded. You can access it on any computer, any time, anywhere. Some of the benefits of being web-based are:
Seamless Updates - You receive updates as soon as we make any improvements to the site.
Security - Your data is secured, protected and backed up on our servers which means if your computer crashes your data won't be affected or if you buy a new computer you don't need to transfer anything.
Access - You can access your TutorPanel account from any device that has a modern web-browser. Your laptop, desktop, work computer, library computer, smart phone, etc.
You will be billed at the beginning of each month for the base fee of $20. We will then calculate the average number of active students in your account during the month and multiply it by $0.50 for the student portion. An actives student is one whose "Status" field in his or her profile is set to "Active". The student portion will be added to the following month's fee.
It doesn't matter how many tutoring sessions the student attends during the month -- you are charged only $0.50 per active student.
Yes, you will need an internet connection to access TutorPanel. By being web-based, TutorPanel can be accessed by you, your students and their parents anywhere with internet access. Plus your information is secured, protected and backed up daily, so you don' t need to worry about losing your information to computer crashes.
Your TutorPanel membership is month-to-month which means you can come and go as you please. If your business is not active for a period of time, but you want to save all of your information you can change the status of your students to inactive and only pay the base monthly fee.
It can be dangerous to store some information online such as credit card names and numbers and for this reason we do not store any of this information on our servers. All of your clients' billing details are processed and stored securely with PayPal.
If you're worried about people seeing information about your students or your business, we protect this information using industry standard technology and 256-bit SSL encryption.

TutorPanel was designed mainly for tutoring companies with multiple teachers; however, it can be used by independent tutors as well. Independent tutors will need to add themselves as a teacher from their administrator account. Most functions can be controlled from your administrator account such as scheduling, billing, and reconciling.
