What is Tutoring CRM?
A CRM for tutoring businesses replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads, and email chains used to track students.
- ✓ Stores complete student and parent contact information
- ✓ Tracks subscription status, plan tier, and next renewal date
- ✓ Shows session history, attendance record, and remaining quota
- ✓ Logs all WhatsApp and email communications per student
- ✓ Highlights students at risk of churning based on attendance or engagement
For tutoring businesses with 10+ students, a CRM is the difference between knowing your clients and guessing.
The problems tutoring crm solves
Manual workarounds that cost tutoring businesses hours every week.
Losing track of which students have paid and what for
Without a CRM, payment tracking happens across bank statements, WhatsApp, and memory. A dedicated system ties each student's payment to their booking access.
No early warning when a student is going quiet
Students who ghost before cancelling cost you renewal income. Attendance tracking in a CRM shows you who's missing sessions before they leave.
Parent communication buried in WhatsApp chats
Important conversations about lesson changes, GCSE targets, or payment issues get lost in general messaging. A CRM logs all communication against the student record.
No centralised student history when you take on covering tutors
If you bring on an additional tutor or cover teacher, there's no way to hand over context without a proper student record system.
How Bizzly works
From sign-up to your first paid booking in under 15 minutes.
Choose your industry Launch Pack
Pick the pre-configured template for your industry. Subscription plans, booking calendar, and Stripe payments are already set up, just add your services and rates.
Customer pays first, then books
A customer subscribes or buys a session pack. Stripe processes the payment. Bizzly creates their quota. They can now book sessions up to their limit.
Calendar enforces quota automatically
The booking calendar only shows slots to customers who have available quota. No double-bookings, no unpaid slots, no manual checking, the system handles it.
How Bizzly handles tutoring crm
Purpose-built features for tutoring businesses — not bolted-on workarounds.
Student profiles
Each student has a profile with contact info, subjects, active subscriptions, session history, attendance rate, and remaining quota.
Complete student recordSubscription & payment status
See at a glance which students have active subscriptions, when they expire, whether the most recent Stripe payment succeeded, and how many sessions remain.
Real-time payment visibilityHubSpot CRM sync
Connect HubSpot via OAuth in 3 minutes. Every new student and parent is automatically created as a HubSpot contact. Bookings, payments, WhatsApp messages, and subscription changes are all logged to their HubSpot timeline.
Full HubSpot integrationChurn risk indicators
Students with declining attendance, low session usage, or upcoming expiries are flagged automatically so you can act before they cancel. Trigger HubSpot workflows, re-engagement emails, discount offers, directly from lapse events.
Proactive retentionReal-world use cases
How tutoring crm works in practice.
Renewal follow-up before term end
Two weeks before a term subscription expires, the CRM flags all lapsing students. You send a single re-enrolment message to the list. Not 20 individual messages.
Tracking GCSE student progress
Attach session notes to each GCSE student profile. Review progress before each lesson and share a summary with parents at the end of the term.
Managing parent communication for younger students
For primary-age students, the parent is the customer. The CRM tracks all parent interactions separately from the student's lesson records.
Handing over students to additional tutors
When you bring on a second tutor, share the student CRM records for a complete picture of each student's needs, history, and payment standing.
