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.
Who it is for
One teacher, or a hundred.
The same school and the same price, whatever the size. The only thing that grows is the roster.
A single teacher
Your own site, your free hours to book, your students' homework — under your name, not a marketplace's.
Teachers together
Each teacher their own courses, page and reviews; one address, one register, one sign-in.
A school
An owner, staff to run the desk, teachers to teach, courses filed in groups and levels.
A teaching institute
Many teachers, many classes, and one timetable that will not book a teacher twice.
The register
Eight 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.
Materials
A file, a video or a link, put on the lesson once. Everybody in the class has it.
Homework
Set it, collect it, mark it. It stays filed against the lesson it came from.
Exams
Multiple choice, blanks and short answers. Written once, set as often as you like; most of it marks itself.
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 it saves
Sent once, or never.
Most of a small school's work is sending the same thing to many people. Put it in one place, and everybody who should have it has it.
For the owner
- One register: who has a place, who has asked for one, who has paid.
- Teachers, courses, timetable and reviews in one record — no spreadsheet kept beside it.
- A page at your own address, live the evening you open the school.
- One price, whatever the size of the school.
For the teacher
- Put a file on the lesson once. Every student in the class has it — no WhatsApp, no twelve emails.
- Homework comes back filed by lesson and marked in place, not as photos in a chat.
- Your week on one calendar, and your free hours published for students to book.
- Your own page, with your credentials and your reviews under your name.
For the student
- Find the course, see the dates and the price, register — on one page.
- Every file, every piece of homework and every notice for the course in one place. Nothing to scroll back for.
- The timetable on their phone, and homework handed in from it.
- Never pays for the platform, and signs in once — even at two schools.
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.
Choose a plan.
Nothing is charged; a person confirms it with you afterwards.
Make an account.
An e-mail and a password, or Google. One account for everything you go on to do.
Write the name.
It becomes the address. Change it if the obvious one is taken.
Open the doors.
Add a course, invite a teacher, publish the page when it is ready to be seen.
