Linc review
A strong fit for tutoring providers managing mobile, online, and in-person sessions.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Linc is cloud-based scheduling and management software for K-12 schools, colleges, universities, and student success centers. Students can request individual or group sessions based on tutor availability, while tutors manage schedules, session requests, reminders, communication, attendance, and feedback. The platform supports online and in-person tutoring through web and mobile applications, with an administrative control panel for managing tutoring operations, records, and reporting. It is best suited to institutional tutoring providers rather than independent tutors.
The plan structure follows increasing operational scope. Basic includes a mobile app, in-person tutoring, a control panel, and 1 administrator. Pro adds a web app, online tutoring, and support for 5 administrators while retaining the Basic capabilities. Premium adds walk-in tutoring to the Pro feature set. According to the vendor’s pricing model, plans require contacting sales, so Linc is oriented toward organizations evaluating a managed institutional deployment rather than buyers seeking self-serve plan selection.
Linc’s strongest area is the combination of scheduling, communication, and session administration. Students and tutors can coordinate through availability management, reminders, notifications, integrated chat, attendance tracking, and tutor feedback. Online sessions include video meetings and screen sharing, while in-person support covers scheduled and walk-in tutoring. Calendar integrations include Google Calendar, iCloud, Outlook, and Office 365. Providers choosing Linc should value mobile access and a broad tutoring workflow across individual, group, online, and in-person sessions. Independent tutors or organizations seeking self-serve pricing should consider a different type of solution.
