Free Tutor Software for UK Private Tutors

No card required. £16/month after trial — or £13/month on yearly billing.
Where most tutors lose hours every week
The admin around teaching tends to eat more time than the teaching itself. These are the exact problems TutorLab is built to solve.
Invoicing takes hours every month
Chasing payments, copying session notes into spreadsheets, creating PDFs manually — most tutors spend 3–4 hours a month on admin that should take 20 minutes.
Lesson planning from scratch every week
Writing a new lesson plan for each student from a blank page is slow. Most tutors teach the same topics in slightly different ways and end up rewriting the same material repeatedly.
Parent communication falls through the cracks
Informal WhatsApp updates don't build confidence. Parents want a professional summary of what was covered and what comes next — but writing those takes time you don't have.
Getting discovered by new parents is guesswork
Most private tutors rely entirely on word of mouth. There is no systematic way to get in front of parents searching for tutors online.
How TutorLab helps
Every feature is designed around a UK tutor's working week.
Invoices in under 60 seconds
Log a session and TutorLab generates a professional PDF invoice automatically. Send it to the parent directly from the platform. No spreadsheets, no copy-paste.
AI lesson plans for any GCSE or A-Level subject
Pick a subject, level and topic — TutorLab generates a structured lesson plan with learning objectives, activities and an exam-style homework task. Takes 30 seconds.
Parent progress reports that sound professional
Generate a parent-ready progress report from your session notes. Written in plain English, covering what was covered, progress made and the next steps.
A public profile parents actually find
Every TutorLab tutor gets a free public profile page indexed by Google. Parents searching for tutors in your subject and area can find you directly — no agency taking 20% of your rate.
What a week on TutorLab looks like
Monday: you add three new session notes for students seen over the weekend. TutorLab generates invoices for two of them automatically — you approve and send in under two minutes. Wednesday: you prepare for a new GCSE Chemistry student. You generate a lesson plan for moles and relative formula mass in 30 seconds, then generate a homework task based on the same topic. Friday: a parent emails asking how their child is getting on. You generate a progress report from your last four session notes — it takes 45 seconds to produce a professional three-paragraph summary. Total admin time for the week: under 20 minutes.
Generated in under 10 seconds inside TutorLab. You can edit, save as a template, or send it to parents from the same screen.

Can TutorLab help me get more students?

Does TutorLab replace tutor billing software like TutorBird or TutorCruncher?
TutorLab covers the core features most UK private tutors need: invoicing, student management, lesson planning and parent communication. For solo tutors and small practices it replaces paid tools entirely. Larger tutoring businesses with multiple staff may need more advanced scheduling and payroll features.
