What Zutobi is
Zutobi Instructor is a paid cloud platform for driving schools from Zutobi, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Gävle, Sweden. It manages instructor calendars, vehicles, service zones, lesson booking, payments, reminders, and student records. Students can book online around the clock, while schools collect card payments during booking or send payment links to parents by SMS or email. Profiles hold records, driving-hour logs, instructor notes, and progress visible to parents through a dashboard. The platform provides state-specific lessons, videos, simulations, presentations, practice tests, homework, and digital signatures for enrollment contracts, waivers, and required forms. Students use iOS and Android apps; instructors use a phone-browser admin dashboard. Zutobi lists Stripe, LTI, and Clever support, plus AES-256 and TLS 1.2-or-higher encryption. The plan costs $99 a month, includes the first 12 students, and charges per new student afterward.
