Teachworks alternative

A Teachworks alternative your students and parents use too.

Teachworks runs scheduling, billing and payroll for tutoring businesses from the browser. Teach Space gives you, your students and their parents one shared space: each with their own app, all looking at the same lessons, homework and payments.

What changes

The class is shared, not just managed.

Students and parents get their own app, not a portal to visit.

1

Everyone has their own app

Students and parents sign in on iPhone, Android or the web. The student sees lessons and homework; the parent follows the child's schedule, progress and payments.

2

Work on the same board

Open the live whiteboard with your student. Homework goes out, comes back and gets your feedback in the same class.

Payments both sides can see

Parents see what's due and report a transfer or pay through your own provider. You confirm, and the lesson shows as paid for everyone.
