A direct answer

What is a lesson planner for tutors?

A useful lesson planner keeps the time on a calendar connected to the student and the work that follows class. Tutor Planner combines scheduled lessons, recurring series, lesson records, packages, and next-step notes in one workspace.

A connected tutoring workflow

Plan around the teaching work, not around disconnected tools.

Set up day, week, or month views, add one-time or recurring lessons, then open a class with its student context already attached. After class, turn the same plan into a useful record instead of rebuilding it in notes and spreadsheets.

Day, week, and month views

Use the time horizon that fits the decision in front of you.

Recurring and one-time lessons

Keep regular teaching patterns visible while handling exceptions.

Student-linked classes

Open a lesson with the relevant student, package, and history nearby.

Lesson follow-through

Record homework, next steps, and class details while they are still fresh.

Put it into practice

Choose a day, week or month view; add a one-time or recurring lesson; review the student's previous notes before teaching.

Worked example

For a weekly maths lesson, keep the recurring time and use the previous next-step note to choose the next goal.

How to manage private tutoring on iPhone and iPad

Tutor Planner connects the schedule to the student and the work after each lesson. Here is a complete routine to test with fictional records before using it for your own private tutoring.

  • Set up the student context. Keep the student's relevant information and prepaid package or postpaid arrangement together.
  • Plan the week. Create a one-time or recurring lesson and check the day, week or month view. On the timeline, long-press and drag to create a lesson.
  • Prepare with the previous record. Review homework and the next-step note before deciding what to teach.
  • Record the completed lesson. Capture the lesson content, homework review, new assignment and next plan. The Apple Watch companion can also mark a scheduled lesson complete; review the detailed records on iPhone or iPad.
  • Check the financial record. Review the package balance or postpaid amount and record actual money received separately.
  • Review the week. Pro adds business reports and schedule image/PDF exports when those are part of your routine.

Questions tutors ask

Useful before the next lesson.

Can I plan recurring lessons?

Yes. Tutor Planner supports recurring lessons, and you can also manage one-off classes around the same schedule.

Can I use it for a single lesson?

Yes. A scheduled lesson can be created for one class or as part of a recurring teaching pattern.

Does a lesson stay connected to the student?

Yes. Lessons are tied to the relevant student so planning, records, packages, and follow-up are not separated.

Can I export my schedule?

Pro includes exports of the current schedule view as an image or PDF.
