For tutors
Stop Running Your Tutoring on a Scheduler, a Payment App, and a Spreadsheet
Updated September 2026
Tutoring runs on rhythm: the same students, the same weekly slots, the same families who need a gentle reminder when a payment is due. HustleHub keeps that rhythm without the spreadsheet. Your booking page, weekly sessions, invoices, and payments all live in one place, so a full week of students manages itself.
Free to join.
Weekly sessions made simple
Set your weekly availability once and let families book the times that fit, then come back to their usual slot from the same link. Reminders go out automatically so students show up ready.
A Back Office that runs itself
After every booking, your Back Office kicks in automatically. Student intake forms go out instantly. Tutoring agreements go out automatically and are acknowledged before the first session. No chasing. No manual emails. Just a client who shows up prepared.
A booking page that sells for you
Your booking page is your storefront. Add content blocks to show what matters: client results and stats, testimonials, case studies, your packages and pricing, a bio that builds trust, or a direct call to action. Seven layout types with AI-suggested content, fully branded to you.
Payments tracked either way
Accept card payments or log manual transfers. HustleHub tracks every payment, flags what is overdue, and keeps your books clean without a separate invoicing app.
Invoice blocks or single sessions
Bill per session or invoice a block of sessions up front, and track exactly which families are paid up and which need a nudge.
Student history at your fingertips
Notes, sessions, and payments live on one record so you always know where each student stands.
How it works
- 1
Family books
A family books a session in one of your weekly slots on your branded page.
- 2
Student intake form
A student intake form goes out automatically to capture goals and grade level.
- 3
Agreement acknowledged
Your tutoring agreement is sent automatically and acknowledged before the first session.
- 4
Payment collected
Per-session or block payment is collected and tracked automatically.
- 5
Progress notes saved
Add progress notes to the student record after each session. Goals, grade level, and session history all in one place so you always know where each student left off.
Instead of juggling a calendar app, a payments app, and a notebook of who paid for which block of sessions, you get one connected system. When a family books, the session is on your calendar, the invoice is ready, and the history of past sessions is one click away. That means fewer no-shows, fewer awkward payment conversations, and more time actually teaching.
HustleHub is free to start, with no subscription required, and you only pay when a family pays you. There is no monthly cost hanging over your summer break or exam-season lull, so the tool fits a tutoring schedule that naturally ebbs and flows.
The parts of tutoring that are not teaching
These are the jobs that eat a tutor's evenings, and what HustleHub does with each one.
Chasing families for payment on a block of lessons
Invoice per session or for a block up front. Every invoice is tracked as paid, pending, or overdue, and invoice reminders go out for you.
Rescheduling by text, every single week
Families book from your weekly availability on one branded link, and a returning family books their usual slot again from the same link.
No-shows after a busy school week
Automatic appointment reminders go out before every session.
Paying for software through summer break
The free plan has no subscription. You pay a 5% platform fee only when a family pays you, so a quiet month costs nothing.
Notes on every student scattered across notebooks
Progress notes live on each student's record, next to their sessions and invoices.
Hunting for the video link before an online lesson
Add your meeting link once in Back Office and it goes out in every booking confirmation.
HustleHub and tutoring software, side by side
Tutoring platforms are built for centers with several tutors. HustleHub is built for the tutor who runs the whole thing alone. Here is how the published prices compare.
| HustleHub | TutorBird | Teachworks | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free (Side Hustle plan) | $16.95 a month | $16.49 a month plus $0.32 per student lesson (Starter) |
| Free plan | Yes, no subscription required | No, 30-day free trial | No, 21-day free trial |
| What the cost grows with | 5% platform fee per payment on the free plan, or $29 a month with a 0% platform fee | $4.95 a month for each additional tutor or staff member | Each student lesson |
| Built for | Solo tutors who want booking, payments, and student records in one place | Tutoring businesses with several tutors | Tutoring centers and schools, including multiple branches |
TutorBird and Teachworks prices are from tutorbird.com/pricing and teachworks.com/pricing, read September 2026, billed monthly in US dollars. Card processing fees are charged on every option and are left out. Both are built for tutoring businesses with several tutors and include tools HustleHub does not. Plans change, so check each vendor for current terms.
What a solo tutor actually needs from booking software
Most tutoring software is sold to tutoring centers: it tracks many tutors and works out their pay from the lessons they teach. That is the right tool for a center. For one tutor with a steady list of students, it is a monthly bill for features you will not open.
What a solo tutor needs is shorter: a page families can book from, reminders so students show up, an invoice that goes out without you writing it, and one place to see who has paid. HustleHub does those four things, keeps a record of each student's sessions and notes, and costs nothing until a family pays you.
When tutoring software is the better fit
I built HustleHub, so weigh this accordingly. If you run a center with several tutors and need to work out each tutor's pay from their lessons, TutorBird and Teachworks are built for that, and TutorBird adds a portal for students and parents. HustleHub does neither. HustleHub also does not create a repeating series of sessions automatically; families book each session, from the same link.
If it is just you, and you want to stop paying a monthly fee through the summer and the exam-season lull, HustleHub is the simpler, cheaper fit.
Frequently asked questions
Can HustleHub handle weekly sessions with the same students?
Yes, with one honest caveat: HustleHub does not create a repeating series for you. You set your weekly availability once, a family books their usual slot, and a returning family books that slot again from the same link. Automatic reminders go out before every session to cut down on no-shows.
Is it free for tutors?
Yes. The Side Hustle plan is free to start, with no subscription required. You only pay when a family pays you.
How do parents pay me?
Parents can pay by card, or you can log a manual transfer like cash or bank transfer. HustleHub tracks every payment so you always know who is paid up.
What is the best scheduling software for tutors?
For a solo tutor, the best fit handles weekly sessions, reminders, invoicing, and payments in one place without a monthly bill. HustleHub does that and is free to start, so you are not paying through the slow season. If you run a center with several tutors and payroll, a tutoring platform like TutorBird or Teachworks is built for that.
How much does HustleHub cost compared with tutoring software?
The Side Hustle plan has no subscription: you pay a 5% platform fee only when a family pays you, so a month with no lessons costs nothing. The Hustlin' plan is $29 a month with a 0% platform fee. TutorBird lists $16.95 a month plus $4.95 for each extra tutor, and Teachworks Starter lists $16.49 a month plus $0.32 per student lesson, on their own pricing pages as of September 2026. Card processing fees apply on every option.
Can I teach online lessons?
Yes. Add your meeting link once in Back Office, from Zoom, Google Meet, or any platform that gives you a link, and it goes out automatically in every booking confirmation email.
