Squool for history and social studies tutors

Canadian history, Social Studies 30
and the citizenship test

Updated 15 November 2026

History tutoring in Canada is rarely a full-time job: a teacher who helps a few students with Grade 10 Canadian History, a grad student who coaches Social Studies 30-1 essays, or a tutor who prepares newcomers for the citizenship test. Squool keeps a small schedule just as tidy as a big one, with every payment, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

A handful of students, set up in minutes

With six or eight students you don't need anything complicated. Add each one with their price and lesson length, turn on “Repeat Weekly,” and the whole school year fills in. If you'd rather read your week as a list than a grid, switch the schedule view: every lesson with its time, student and payment colour, day by day.

Essays, source analysis and exam season

Social Studies 30-1 in Alberta ends with a diploma exam built around written responses, and Quebec's Secondary 4 History of Québec and Canada has a ministry exam in June. Students want extra sessions in the last weeks: add one-off lessons in free hours, or a second weekday to their series. Essay sessions often run 90 minutes — set the length per lesson.

When the exam is over, end the series; the student's history stays.

Citizenship test prep for newcomers

Adults preparing for the Canadian citizenship test study the official guide and want a few focused sessions before their test date. A couple preparing together can be one group lesson with a separate price and payment for each person. When they've passed, archive them — their history stays, and any prepaid money returns to their balance.

If you plan lessons and read essays late at night, the dark theme is easier on the eyes. On a Mac, Squool sits in a window next to your documents; on an iPhone it's in your pocket on the way to a student's home. A reminder arrives before every lesson.

The month ring shows what you earned, what's due, what's upcoming and what was lost to cancellations. Compare June with July and you'll know how much of your history income depends on exam season.

Everything syncs between iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud, and your data stays there — the developer can't see it. Free for 14 days, no credit card needed.

Questions and answers

What's a good app for a history tutor with only a few students?

Squool works just as well for five students as for forty: weekly lessons, balances and income on iPhone, iPad and Mac, free for 14 days.

Can I see my week as a list instead of a grid?

Yes. The schedule switches between a week grid and a list of lessons.

Can I teach a couple preparing for the citizenship test together and charge each separately?

Yes. Make it a group lesson; each person has their own price, payment and attendance.

Does Squool store essays or study materials?

No. It handles your schedule and payments; a note on each student card is enough for topics and test dates.

Can I use it on my Mac and iPhone at the same time?

Yes. Your data syncs automatically through your own iCloud, without an account.
