Squool for ESL tutors

CELPIP for PR, IELTS for college,
conversation for everyday life

Updated 15 November 2026

ESL tutoring in Canada is driven by goals with numbers attached: a CLB level for Express Entry or citizenship, an IELTS band for college admission, or simply the confidence to talk to a child's teacher. Add a few learners overseas who meet you on Zoom or Google Meet, and you have a week that a paper planner can't keep up with. Squool keeps it on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Adults with a score to reach

A newcomer who needs CELPIP General or IELTS General Training for permanent residence usually knows the target and the test date. Write both in the student's note — “CLB 7, CELPIP March 14” — so you see them every time you open the card.

Set up a weekly series, add a second weekday with its own time for the last few weeks, and end the series after the test. Their lessons stop, while the history and payments stay on the card.

Packages and e-Transfers

Packages and e-Transfers

Adult learners often buy ten lessons at a time and send one Interac e-Transfer. Give the student their per-lesson price, tap “Add Funds” with the full amount, and each lesson is paid automatically as it happens, oldest first. The card shows what's still paid ahead; when the package runs out, the student moves to the top of the list among those who owe you.

Learners overseas, paying in US dollars

Students in Seoul, São Paulo or Monterrey often pay in US dollars or euros, while your Canadian learners pay in CAD. Each student in Squool keeps their own currency for lessons and balance, and your monthly totals appear in Canadian dollars at an exchange rate you can edit.

Some of your students are children who recently arrived and are in their school's English Language Learner support. Parents pay by the month, lessons are 45 minutes after school, and consistency matters more than anything. Squool gives achievements such as “Every week” and a 🔥 streak by the avatar when a child doesn't miss — something simple to celebrate with a family that's working hard.

Every contact on one card

Every contact on one card

Newcomers message on WhatsApp, international students on Instagram or Telegram, employers who pay for a staff member by email. The student card keeps phone, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and email together, one tap from the conversation.

For one tutor, private, free to try

Squool is for a tutor working alone — not a language school with several teachers — and there's no student booking, video calling or online payment inside it. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch and syncs through your own iCloud; your students' data stays on your devices, and the developer can't see it. Full access is free for 14 days, no credit card needed.

Questions and answers

What app can an ESL tutor in Canada use to track lessons and payments?

Squool is built for one tutor on iPhone, iPad and Mac: a weekly schedule, each learner's balance and currency, cancellations and monthly income. It's free for 14 days.

Can I sell packages of 10 ESL lessons?

Yes. Set the price per lesson and add the package payment to the student's balance; lessons are paid one by one, and the rest shows as prepaid.

Yes. Each student can have their own currency, and your totals are shown in CAD with an exchange rate you can edit.

Can I plan lessons up to a student's CELPIP test date?

Yes. Use a weekly series, add extra weekdays if needed, and end the series after the test.

Can students book or pay for lessons in Squool?

No. Squool is your own organizer; there's no booking page, online payment or video call.
