Without Bizzly vs With Bizzly
What tuition centres tell us holds them back
You get results for your students. The software is supposed to take the admin away — too often it takes a cut of your income and still leaves you buying a website.
Your software takes a cut of every payment
The most common complaint about incumbent tutoring platforms is the fee model: a percentage of every client payment, so the bill grows every time you enrol another student. Bizzly is a flat subscription — card fees go to Stripe as normal and nothing else scales with your income.
The back office runs your admin, but you still need a website
Tutoring platforms manage lessons and invoices and stop there. You still buy, build and maintain a parent-facing site somewhere else — two bills, two logins, and a booking link that lives on a different domain from your brand.
Term fees, group registers and the 1:1 diary live in three places
Term payments arrive by transfer and cash, group registers sit in a spreadsheet, and one-to-one slots get agreed over WhatsApp at 9pm. Every September you re-chase the same families from scratch.
Everything a tutoring business needs, pre-built
Pick the Tutoring launch pack and your platform is ready — term packs, memberships, school-year group timetables, mock exams, holiday courses, a parent portal and Stripe payments, fully configured.
Term packs, memberships and course packs — all first-class
Sell a term up front, a rolling monthly membership, or one-off holiday courses and mock papers, from the same timetable. Mid-term joiners are pro-rated automatically on the sessions still remaining. Bizzly automates whichever mix you already run — term billing included, not replaced.
Bill the way you already billSchool-year group bands, 11+ to A-level
Each session is gated to the school years it is for, so a Year 5 group only accepts Year 5 students and the wrong group is not bookable. It reads the school year rather than the birthday, so a pupil who moved up or repeated a year still lands correctly.
One centre, every stageMock exams and holiday revision courses
Sell mock papers as single sittings or a whole series, and holiday courses as a three-day block or a single day. Weekly groups pause for half-term automatically while the holiday courses run straight through.
The products parents actually buyGroup timetable and 1:1 diary on one calendar
Each centre runs fixed weekly group slots and a flexible one-to-one diary side by side. Groups follow a published timetable with hard capacity and automatic waitlists; 1:1 sessions are booked around the tutor's availability, in centre or online.
Multi-centre readyWhatsApp AI for parents
Parents message to move a child between groups or centres, ask when the next mock is, or check what is left on their term — answered automatically, day and night, with the term sessions updated to match.
Zero admin messagesPer-student profiles that carry the exam target
School year, current school, target schools, entrance-exam format, GCSE board and access arrangements — captured once at sign-up and right there on the register and the tutor's view.
Every student, in contextHow Bizzly compares to TutorCruncher, Teachworks and Class Manager
The tutoring specialists are good at the back office. Three things consistently come up when centres look to move.
Your fee does not grow with your income
TutorCruncher charges a percentage of every client payment — the single most-cited complaint in switching threads, because the cost scales with every student you add. Bizzly is a flat subscription. Stripe takes its normal card fee and that is the end of it.
The website is part of the pack, not a second purchase
Neither TutorCruncher nor Teachworks gives you a parent-facing website; Class Manager gives you booking pages. Bizzly generates the whole site — homepage, timetable, booking flow, shop, parent portal and policy pages — on your own domain, editable in a drag-and-drop builder.
Term packs and memberships are peers, not a migration
Most platforms assume one billing model and make the other a workaround. Bizzly treats upfront term packs, rolling monthly memberships and one-off course and mock packs as equals on the same timetable — so you are not asked to move your families onto subscriptions to get the automation.

Term packs. Rolling memberships. Mocks and holiday courses too.
These are the live plans and products on the demo site — pulled straight from its Stripe catalogue, not a mockup. Parents buy a term up front or roll monthly, then add mock papers and holiday revision courses as they need them.
This is your starter configuration — live from day one.
Rename plans, adjust pricing, add services, set up multiple staff calendars, and define coverage areas — all from your admin dashboard, no developers needed. Most businesses are customised and taking payments within the first hour.

What private tutors and tutoring businesses say
Real results from real business owners
"I used to spend the first week of every term chasing 19 families for BACS. Now they all pay automatically on day one. I've not sent a payment reminder in months."
"Having a proper booking portal changed everything. Parents book, reschedule, and check invoices themselves. My WhatsApp is finally just for actual messages."
"I went from 12 students to 24 within 3 months. Being able to send a clean, professional booking link was the difference — parents take you more seriously immediately."
