The 4pm-to-8pm rush
Pupils are only free after school, so Monday to Thursday evenings carry most of your work. The weekly grid shows those hours at a glance, and every lesson is coloured by payment: paid, owed, prepaid or still upcoming. A new enquiry for Wednesday at 7? Tap the free hour and add the lesson there and then.
Lesson length follows the pupil: 45 minutes for primary, an hour for GCSE, 90 minutes for A-level problem sessions. The presets cover 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes, and ‘Other’ handles a 30-minute times-tables session for a Year 3.
A different rate for each level
Most maths tutors charge less for KS2 than for A-level further maths. In Squool every pupil has their own price per lesson, and siblings are simply two students with their own prices and balances.
When you raise your rates in September, open a lesson, change the price and choose ‘This & Future’: every following lesson takes the new price, while past lessons and payments stay exactly as they were.

Download on the App StoreResits in November and the push for a grade 4
Students who didn't get a grade 4 in GCSE maths keep studying it after Year 11, and many sit the November resit. Their rhythm is short and intense: weekly from September, twice a week in October, finished by mid-November. Add a second weekday to the same series with its own time, and end the series after the last paper – the lessons stop, the history stays.
Progress you can show a parent
Maths confidence takes months, and parents want to see that the lessons are happening. A pupil's statistics show a month calendar with every lesson, the number of lessons, what was earned, due and lost, and a comparison with the previous month.
Squool also gives pupils achievements on its own – ‘Like clockwork’ for a fixed weekly slot, ‘Iron discipline’ and a 🔥 streak by the avatar for those who don't miss. ‘She hasn't missed a week since October’ is a nice thing to tell a parent, and now you have it in front of you.
Mock week, school trips and the lessons in between
When a pupil cancels because of mocks or a Year 8 residential, cancel the lesson: it isn't charged, and any prepaid money goes back to the balance. If they simply didn't turn up, mark the lesson as missed and it's charged. Cancelled lessons appear as lost income, so you know how much mock season really costs you.

Questions and answers
Is there an app for maths tutors to keep track of pupils and payments?
Yes – Squool is made for one tutor: a weekly timetable coloured by payment, a balance for every pupil and your monthly income. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.
Can I charge different rates for GCSE and A-level maths?
Yes. Each pupil has their own price per lesson, and you can change it for one lesson or for all future ones.
How do I add a second weekly session before the November resit?
Add another weekday to the pupil's weekly series, with its own time. When the exams are over, end the series.
Can I tell a parent how many sessions their child had this term?
Yes, month by month: each pupil's statistics show a calendar of lessons with their number and the amounts earned, due and lost.
Does Squool store homework, test scores or worksheets?
No. It handles your timetable and money; a short note on each pupil is enough for a target grade or exam board.
