Tutoring Plan (Coming Soon)

We have a new app in the works that will allow schools to sell Tutoring Lessons via the QuickSchools Portal for Students and Parents. 

The school admin can define hourly rates as well as discounted packages for students/parents to purchase online. Once purchased, the school admin can then assign the student to a specific tutor, who will then perform the lesson. The tutor can then record completed lessons (and hours) online for students/parents to review.

More info coming soon.
