Kids' coding in short weekly lessons
Younger kids do best with 45 minutes a week, and parents usually pay by the month. Add the child once with “Repeat Weekly,” top up the balance when the e-Transfer arrives, and each lesson is paid automatically as it happens.
Summer coding camps and PD-day workshops work as group lessons: four kids building the same game, each with their own price, payment and attendance. Give the group a name and colour so it stands out in your week.
High school computer science, AP and the CCC
High school students in computer science courses need help with assignments and the final project; AP Computer Science A students prepare for the May exam in Java; competitive students train for the Canadian Computing Competition in February. Add a weekday to the series for the crunch weeks and end it afterwards. Each student's month statistics show how many lessons they had and how the month compares with the last.

Adults changing careers
Adults learning to code usually buy a block of lessons and fit them around work, so their lessons are one-offs rather than a fixed slot. Tap a free hour in the grid to add each lesson, or move one with “This Lesson.” Payments go onto the balance and pay for lessons in order; when the block runs out, they appear among those who owe you.
Learners in the US, paid in US dollars
Coding lessons work well over Zoom or Google Meet, so you may teach students in the US who pay in USD. Each student has their own currency, and your monthly totals appear in Canadian dollars with an exchange rate you can edit.
Next to your editor on the Mac
During a lesson your screen is full with the editor and the call. Squool's Mac window sits beside them and syncs automatically with your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud — no account, no login. Your students' data stays on your devices and in your iCloud; the developer can't see it.
Squool is for one tutor working alone, not a coding school with several instructors. Full access is free for 14 days, no credit card needed.
