What independent tutors stitch together today
Five tools to run one tutoring business
Most independent online tutors run their business on five tools: Zoom for the sessions, Calendly for scheduling, Stripe for payments, Google Drive for materials, and a spreadsheet for who paid and who didn't. Each tool is fine on its own; together they create gaps.
Gaps show up as: missed payments because the invoice never went out, lesson notes that nobody can find, parents asking for a progress report you can't produce in under an hour, and the slow drift where you spend more time on logistics than on teaching.
Classentra collapses the five tools into one. Live video, scheduling, assignments, parent visibility, and direct Stripe payouts ship in the same workspace. You spend the freed hour with your next student instead of your next spreadsheet.

FAQ
Common questions from online tutors
- How is this different from using Zoom + Calendly + Stripe?
- Zoom + Calendly + Stripe is three subscriptions, three logins, three monthly fees, and no shared state between them. Classentra is one subscription with one login and shared state — the session knows the student, the student knows the assignment, the assignment knows the grade, the parent knows everything.
- Does Classentra take a cut of my tutoring fees?
- On Pro ($59 / mo), no — 0% transaction fee, Stripe routes payments directly to your account. On Solo ($19 / mo), 3% transaction fee. On Free ($0 / mo), 7% transaction fee. Compare Preply (~33%) and Wyzant (~25%).
- Can parents see their child's progress?
- Yes. Each student can grant their parent a read-only link to their attendance, assignments, and grades. Parents see everything you publish without seeing other students' data.
- What if I tutor 1-on-1 only?
- Classentra works for solo sessions, small groups (2-8), and full classes. The Sessions tab handles all three the same way. You pay only for what you use — Free tier supports up to 25 students.
- How do I get started — is there a free tier?
- Yes. Free is genuinely free: $0 / mo, up to 25 students, $500 monthly GMV cap, 7% transaction fee. Most tutors start on Free to confirm the fit and upgrade to Pro once they cross $500 / month in bookings.
