Fees, attendance and parent updates — all in one place, instead of notebooks, Excel and WhatsApp. Start with just the basics as a home tutor, and switch on more as your centre grows.
Bigger or multi-branch institute? Online + offline batches? See the sibling guides below.
It's one app for running a small tuition centre — bringing fees, attendance and parent updates into a single place instead of notebooks, Excel and WhatsApp. It's built to start simple for a single home tutor and grow up to a 50-staff centre. TutorDesk does this for tuition centres across India.
Most tutors run on a fee notebook, a register and a class WhatsApp group. It works — until students grow, fees slip, and parents start asking "did my child reach?" TutorDesk pulls those few essentials into one tidy app.
Start with fees and attendance. Each job below has a dedicated part of TutorDesk you can open up when you need it — tap "Go deeper" to see how it works.
The big institute tools assume a front office and a team. This is built the other way round: simple enough for a tutor running everything alone, with room to grow.
Switch on fees and attendance, ignore the rest, and you're already more organised than a notebook. Add more only when you want to.
No office computer, no IT setup. A home tutor can manage the whole centre from a smartphone between classes.
From one tutor to a 50-staff centre, the same app scales up — you turn on tests, payroll and online classes as you need them.
Most tutors are set up the same day — and you only switch on what you actually need.
Add the students you teach and group them into simple time-slot batches — mixed classes and subjects in one slot are fine.
Record fees, accept UPI or cash, and let polite reminders go to parents before the due date so you never chase money.
Mark attendance in seconds, and parents get a reached-safely alert when their child arrives.
Send class notes, results and notices to parents directly, instead of a noisy class WhatsApp group.
When you're ready, switch on tests, a study-material library, online classes or staff payroll — each handled by its own part of TutorDesk.
A handful of batches run from home — tidy fees and reached-safely alerts that make parents take you seriously.

Running a larger or multi-branch institute for JEE, NEET, CA or banking, with a front office and many batches? This is the all-in-one guide for you.
See Coaching Institute Management →Teaching some students in the room and others online in the same batch? The hybrid guide covers running both modes together.

| How it feels to parents | Informal and ad hoc | Organised and trustworthy |
| As students grow | Hard to keep track | Scales from 1 tutor to 50 staff |

No. Critical alerts like fee due or absent are sent by SMS, which works on any phone. The parent app is optional and adds a tidier place to see updates for parents who want it.
Yes. Start with fees and attendance, then add tests, a study-material library, online classes or staff payroll when you need them. Each of those jobs has its own dedicated part of TutorDesk you can switch on as you expand.
