Each student in their own currency
A family in Seattle pays in U.S. dollars, a student in France in euros, your students in Ontario in Canadian dollars. In Squool, each student has their own currency: their price, balance and payments stay in it. Your totals for the week and the month are shown in one main currency — Canadian dollars for most tutors here — using an exchange rate you can edit for each student.
Supported currencies include Canadian and U.S. dollars, euros, pounds, Mexican and Colombian pesos, Swiss francs, Polish złoty and others.
What Squool doesn't do
Squool has no video calls and no Zoom integration: you keep teaching in Zoom, Google Meet, Teams. It also doesn't convert time zones — Canada alone has six, so agree on times in yours and enter every lesson in your own local time.
Students don't get an account, can't book slots and don't pay through the app. When an e-Transfer or PayPal payment arrives, you add it to the student's balance yourself; Squool does the rest of the math.

Your Mac next to the call
Online tutors spend the day at a computer, so the Mac version is made for it. Widen the window and you see a month calendar with each day's earnings and the statistics ring on the left, your week on the right. Between calls, mark a lesson paid or move one without picking up your phone.
The same data is on your iPhone and iPad, synced through your own iCloud with no sign-in.
Payments that arrive at odd times
Some students pay for a month ahead, some after every lesson, some forget. Tap “Add Funds” when money arrives and the lessons are paid automatically, oldest first. The top of the student list shows who owes you and who has paid ahead, and each student has a full payment history.
The month ring splits your income into earned, due, upcoming and lost, so you always know what has actually reached your account.
Keep Google Calendar in the loop
If you live in Google Calendar, turn on sync in Settings: your lessons appear there and update when you move or cancel one, colour-coded by payment state — paid, owed or prepaid. Apple Calendar works too. Sync goes one way, from Squool to the calendar.
Starting from a calendar full of lessons? Squool can import your students and recurring lessons from Google or Apple Calendar.
Private, and free to try
Your students' names and payments are stored on your device and in your own iCloud; the developer can't see them. Apple Watch shows what's on now and what's next, and a reminder arrives before each lesson. The first 14 days give you full access for free, with no credit card.
