Great product for Tutor companies

4.0 9 months ago

Comments: The Tutor Cruncher Team especially [sensitive content hidden]
have been fabulous. They are polite and friendly and we recieve quick responses, with helpful information and guidance on how we can get the best from the system. With best practices, little tips and tricks, we can meet many of our business needs and digital transformation aspirations with Tutor Cruncher. They also pro actively contact us and offer to walk us through additional functionality which may fit our business set up. I would highly recommend Tutor Cruncher to a Tutoring Company.

Pros:

It is clear to see that the system has been designed and developed by someone who knows the tutoring world. The functionality and features are fabulous, we got up and running really quick and the benefits it bought to our team were great. We were working quicker with less errors and better communication with our Tutors.

Cons:

We are a small business and cant' afford to pay for the development of our bespoke processes. However, as a start up, there is so much potential for Tutor Cruncher to grow. All of our processes are not currently supported by Tutor Cruncher, however many of our business requirements are met. It is an exciting journey to be on with Tutor Cruncher, as they are open to our feedback and ideas for additional functionality for the system to be driven forward and grow as a product. I cant wait to see additional processes in the future.

TutorCruncher Review

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall has been very helpful, allowed us to streamline our process. However, we had to write our own integrations to customize the site for our needs

Pros:

I really like the customizability, and the amount of features offered. Pipeline is great, calendar is great, statistics/analytics that we can see is amazing

Cons:

Sometimes it feels a bit rigid, and would like a bit more customizability. Also if more things were in the API this would be useful, I know you cannot add labels through the API so if the API was fully open this would be helpful in allowing companies have more customizability

Alternatives Considered: Setmore and Bookly

Reasons for Switching to TutorCruncher: TutorCruncher was the best priced, also it offered a really in depth and really specialized software for tutoring

Moderately content

3.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Average. It's difficult to determine if we've outgrown Tutor cruncher because our business has grown or if Tudor cruncher just doesn't have the capabilities that we need or want in a system

Pros:

Tudor cruncher has significantly simplified our invoicing process and saved us time at the end of the month on that aspect of our business. It has also worked well for sharing tutoring needs with our teachers and tutors

Cons:

The limitations around putting multiple parents on one account has caused a lot of headache. Additionally, the lack of clarity and consistency on the billing side has caused frustration and concerns. We've also been frustrated with the system reverting back to stripe when we have set clients up on the direct debit go cardless option and that has caused a client to be charged when they should not have been charged. Further, the ability to make adjustments to a bill once a payment order has been sent has caused us to have to pay fees multiple times because we've just had to delete the invoice and resend it and then it's confusing on the client's end because it looks like they've been billed twice. Additionally, we have locations and tutors in three cities and while many of the jobs are virtual, so open to any team member. It would be a lot nicer if we could cipher out clients and tutors by location in a different format

Alternatives Considered: Teachworks and Acuity Scheduling

Reasons for Choosing TutorCruncher: We needed the ability to identify clients and tutors in different areas

Switched From: Teachworks

Reasons for Switching to TutorCruncher: Tutor crutcher at the time seemed to have more capabilities

Effective solution for managing your tuition business

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Overall, the team are very responsive and support where they can. The roadmap for the development of Tutorcruncher is interesting and will fix some of the issues I currently have within my business.

Pros:

I have been using Tutorcruncher for 3 years and it provides a great solution for my business. It helps me to schedule and manage my team and clients and the general running of my business. The team are really responsive to queries.

Cons:

There are some features that can be 'clunky' for example, the ability to integrate it with other apps to automate my operations. The payment is also problematic as it isn't always clear on the invoicing what the costs are for, meaning some confusion for my accountant.

Alternatives Considered: TutorBird

Reasons for Switching to TutorCruncher: It seemed to offer a more comprehensive solution.

Great overall experience

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Great tutoring portal- probably the best on the market at the moment. But it's still expensive to use and not the most user friendly. Support is great.

Pros:

It has nearly all of the features required to run a tutoring business and has helpful tutorials that I can send to clients and tutors, instead of spending time explaining to them how to use it.

Cons:

Lots of bugs when trying to login. I and my tutors encounter these regularly. I have highlighted these to the admins but they don't seem to think there is an issue. The fees and Stripe Split payments system is very expensive and is too slow to release funds. Tutors are not happy that they have to wait 7 working days to get paid.

Alternatives Considered: WP EasyCart

Reasons for Switching to TutorCruncher: seemed to have all of the features I required, good reviews

Good stuff. Could help us a bit more

4.0 last month New

Comments: It's been good. I'm still learning the system, but rely on my co-worker to help tutor me on things that I didn't realize I could do.

Pros:

The ease of getting jobs out to potential tutors, the way we can set up new clients. our record of seeing clients and invoicing them.

Cons:

When a tutor applies for a job, but has questions, I cannot reply back to them. I would like a way to respond to their questions directly from tutor cruncer

Pros:

Cons:

There are always various feature requests as customers want enhancements to the product, but it's not clear when the updates can be expected. For example, I would like to export out a list of balance updates, which seems like a feature that is easy to implement, but this is not possible.

A simple and effective tutoring management system

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: We have had a very positive experience with TutorCruncher, with positive feedback from our tutors and clients too. It has allowed us to manage the lessons that take place, the ones that are rescheduled and the ones that are cancelled. All users are notified and it has streamlined our invoicing process.

Pros:

TutorCruncher has streamlined my business by ensuring that all lessons are clearly accounted for, and that parents are able to review feedback in a timely manner.

Cons:

A bulk import of tutors and clients would be an incredible feature to save time for users. Unfortunately this has not been available and it has been very time consuming adding multiple students, clients and tutors to the system.

Comments: It was a breeze to use. Information on each tutor and student was easy to both input and recall.
The accounting system is excellent. The whole package is really user friendly.

Pros:

Such an easy system to use. Everything is there at the touch of a button and it is easy to keep track of what each tutor and learner are doing.

Cons:

I couldnt fault Tutorcruncher to be honest. Once I had worked out what each section could do and linked to I found the whole set up really easy.
