TutorHive

Overview

TutorHive is operations software for tutors and education providers who already have learners and need to manage lessons, records and payments. It is a stronger fit for a growing solo practice or tutoring agency than for someone looking only for a simple, durable free account.

It combines routine teaching administration with parent-facing tools, but its Free plan’s two-student and one-invoice monthly caps quickly narrow its usefulness. Pro is the more practical starting point for a solo tutor who needs room to grow.

Key features

The calendar supports recurring sessions and is designed to prevent double-booking. That makes it useful for tutors with regular weekly schedules, though TutorHive is not a marketplace for finding students or tutors; users need to bring their own clients.

Student profiles can hold goals, progress notes, attendance and session history, while a homework tracker keeps assignments in the same workflow. Together, these records suit tutors who want a running picture of each learner rather than a calendar and invoice tool alone. Goal tracking is among the features excluded from Free.

Invoicing and Stripe and PayPal integrations support payment collection. TutorHive says payments go directly to the tutor with zero commission, an appealing arrangement for tutors who want to receive payments through their own accounts. Free allows only one invoice per month, so regular billing requires a paid plan.

For video lessons, tutors use their own Zoom, Voov Meeting or ClassIn accounts. TutorHive says it stores the meeting link without accessing or recording sessions, keeping the call itself in the tutor’s chosen service. The parent portal gives families access to attendance, notes, homework and certificates in 10 languages; it is excluded from Free.

TutorHive advertises human email support with responses within 24 hours and support in 10 languages. Its privacy policy says it does not sell personal information, names Stripe, Supabase, Google Analytics, Netlify and Railway among service providers, and addresses GDPR for EU and UK users and CCPA for California residents.

Pricing

TutorHive has a Free plan, a 7-day trial and paid plans starting at $14/mo. The free option is a constrained sampler rather than a workable choice for most active tutoring businesses.

Agency pricing is custom for organizations with more than 50 tutors. TutorHive states a 12-month price lock and an annual increase of at most 10% with 60 days’ notice. Free’s two-student cap and one-invoice monthly allowance make it a poor long-term fit once a practice grows beyond a very small roster.

Platforms

TutorHive is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its site describes a mobile PWA, with instructions to add it to the home screen through Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android.

Who it's for

Choose TutorHive if you are a professional tutor or education organization that already has students and wants scheduling, student records, invoicing, homework and parent communication together. Pro fits a solo tutor; Agency is aimed at teams that need tutor and staff management. Look elsewhere if you need a service to match you with students, or if a useful ongoing free tier is essential.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Recurring scheduling, learner records, homework and billing cover several core tutoring tasks in one service.
• Pros: Pro removes the student cap for a solo tutor and adds the parent portal, booking website and video-tool integrations.
• Pros: Agency includes tutor and staff management, payroll tracking and an admin dashboard, with stated price protections.
• Cons: Free is capped at 2 students and 1 invoice per month, and excludes several useful teaching and parent-facing features.
• Cons: TutorHive does not help users find tutors or students, so it cannot solve the customer-acquisition side of a tutoring business.
• Cons: Video lessons depend on tutors bringing their own Zoom, Voov Meeting or ClassIn accounts.

Alternatives

Consider Tutoring Center Software to compare other options for tutoring operations. TuitionDesk may suit a center that wants a free plan for up to 10 students with unlimited batches and fees, EMI, attendance, sessions and teacher login; it supports more platforms, including Linux, macOS and Windows. TutorOne is another free-plan option, with 1 tutor, 15 students and unlimited sessions; its Starter plan is ₹199 a month for 2 tutors and 75 students.

Tutitor is worth considering if an unlimited free plan matters: its free tier covers unlimited students, lessons and invoices, with a 15 GB library. Tutorbase takes a different approach, offering all features without feature restrictions and no monthly subscription, but charges a 1% fee when invoicing through the system. Tutr Desk may fit a small operation looking for a free plan with up to 10 students, attendance, fee management, scheduling and sessions.

GuruDesk is a web-only alternative whose free plan is for solo teachers with up to 30 students. Spoteca offers a free plan for up to 10 billable enrollments with all features and no credit card, while its Growth plan is $1 a month per billable enrollment. TutorFlit may suit a small web-based practice: its Starter plan is $0/mo for up to 5 students and 5 sessions per month, with scheduling and a student roster.

Verdict

TutorHive is a sensible choice for tutors and tutoring organizations that want lesson administration, billing and parent access in one system, especially once they are ready for Pro or Agency. The main reason to choose it is the breadth of its teaching and operations workflow; the main reason to look elsewhere is its sharply limited free tier, particularly if your budget requires a genuinely usable free plan or you need help finding students.
