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 prefer reading your week as a list rather than a grid, switch the schedule view: every lesson with its time, student and payment colour, day by day.
Coursework season and essay technique
A-level history students write a non-exam assessment of several thousand words, and the deadline usually lands in spring. That's when they want extra sessions: drop single lessons into free hours, or add a second weekday to their series for a few weeks. Essay-planning sessions often run 90 minutes – the length is set per lesson.
GCSE students get busy in the run-up to the summer papers. When the last exam is over, end the series; their history stays.

GCSE, A-level and Politics at different prices
Each student has their own price per lesson, so an A-level Politics student can pay more than a Year 10 doing GCSE History. Two friends from the same class who want to revise the Cold War together can be one group lesson, with a separate price, payment and attendance for each.
Evenings at the desk
If you mark essays and plan lessons 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 house. A reminder arrives before every lesson.
A quiet August and a busy May, in numbers
The month ring shows what you earned, what's due, what's still upcoming and what was lost to cancellations. Compare May with August 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. Try it free for 14 days, no 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 tutor two students together and charge each of them separately?
Yes. Make it a group lesson; each student has their own price and their own payment and attendance.
Does Squool store essays or marking?
No. It handles your timetable and payments; a note on each student card is enough for the topic or the coursework question.
Can I use it on my Mac and my iPhone at the same time?
Yes. Your data syncs automatically through your own iCloud, without an account.
