Why Squool exists
Private tutors kept their lessons in a diary, their payments in a spreadsheet and their timetable in a calendar – and spent Sunday evenings reconciling the three. Who has paid for the half-term? Who still owes for last week? How much did this month actually bring in?
Squool brings those three into one place. A lesson knows its price and whether it has been paid, a student's card knows their balance, and the month adds itself up – on the phone in your pocket and on the Mac on your desk.
Squool started as an app for tutors in Ukraine, under the name «Потужний Розклад Репетитора». Today it is called Squool and is available in seven languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian.
Principles
A few rules Squool is built on, and that don't change with updates:
- Your data is yours: it stays on your device and in your own iCloud, and the developer cannot see your students, amounts or earnings
- No adverts and no selling of data
- No account and no login: sync between your devices works through iCloud
- One focused app for one teacher, designed for Apple devices – not a platform that tries to do everything
- A fair trial: 14 days of full access free, no card required

Download on the App StoreWhat Squool is, and what it isn't
Squool is for a teacher working on their own: a lesson timetable, student balances, earnings statistics, group lessons, reminders and calendar sync. It isn't a tuition-centre management system, and it has no parent portal, online payments, student booking, invoices or video calls – the aim is to keep it simple and do these few things well.
It works on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. There is no Android, Windows or web version.
Updates and feedback
Squool is updated regularly, and every message from a tutor is read and answered personally. If something doesn't work the way you expect, or you're missing something in your day-to-day work, get in touch.

Spreadsheet or app
An honest comparison for UK tutors: when a paper diary, Excel or a Google Sheets tracker is enough, which columns it needs, and when a tutoring app saves time.
Tracking payments
A simple way for UK tutors to track payments: one balance per student, prepaid blocks and termly fees, who owes you and how much. Paper, Excel or an app.
