For private teachers and small schools

Write the name. We build the school around it.

A page students book from, in your name at your address — and behind it the register, the timetable and the homework, kept once. Ready this evening, not next term.

  • Free to try. Students never pay.
  • no card, nothing charged

The register

Six things, kept once.

  • Courses and runs

    What you teach, and each time you teach it: its dates, its price, its teacher.

  • Timetable

    Every lesson on one calendar, with a register for each and a page of its own.

  • Enrolments

    Who has a place, who has asked for one, and who has paid.

  • Homework

    Set it, collect it, mark it. It stays filed against the lesson it came from.

  • Booking

    Your free hours, published. A first lesson that costs nothing to try.

  • Messages and reviews

    Conversations kept beside the course they are about, and what students said after.

Marked

What gets crossed out, and what goes in its place.

None of the things on the left was ever the teaching. They are what a small school keeps by hand when nothing holds it together.

  • the WhatsApp group for reminders
  • the spreadsheet of who has paid
  • the notebook with the timetable in it
  • homework sent as photos
  • one page students book from
  • one register that fills itself
  • one timetable, on every phone
  • homework handed in, marked, and kept

What students see

A page with your name on the tab.

Your courses with your prices, your teachers on the staff page, your dates in the calendar. It says nothing about us.

What students never see

Sign in, and it is Tuesday.

Two lessons to teach, six people in them, three pieces of homework waiting. The public page is a window onto this record. There is only one record.

Teach at one school and study at another, and you still sign in once. Hodhodan asks which you are today and skips the question when there is only one answer.

How a school starts

Four lines, and it is yours.

  1. Choose a plan.

    Nothing is charged; a person confirms it with you afterwards.

  2. Make an account.

    An e-mail and a password, or Google. One account for everything you go on to do.

  3. Write the name.

    It becomes the address. Change it if the obvious one is taken.

  4. Open the doors.

    Add a course, invite a teacher, publish the page when it is ready to be seen.
