Teachworks review
A broad administration platform for tutoring companies that need scheduling, billing, and payroll tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Teachworks is web-based business management software for tutoring companies, music schools, and language schools. It brings student and teacher records, lesson scheduling, website booking, repeating lessons, group classes, invoicing, online payments, payroll calculations, notifications, reporting, and integrations into one system. Students can book lessons or join open classes through website tools, while administrators manage calendars, billing, and client records. Its feature set makes it a fit for tutoring companies moving beyond basic calendar management and needing broader operational administration.
The published monthly plans start with Starter at $16.49 per month. It includes unlimited students, teachers, user accounts, and emails, plus customer support and all add-ons and integrations except API access. Growth costs $47.99 per month and adds Teachworks API access while retaining the same unlimited allowances and customer support. Premium costs $187.99 per month, includes API access, and includes the first 5 branch accounts. A 21-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. The tier structure is straightforward: Starter covers core operations, Growth suits organizations needing API connectivity, and Premium is aimed at multi-branch administration.
Teachworks connects with Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Excel, Mailchimp, Lessonspace, Pencil Spaces, Zapier, Zoom, Google Meet, and Skype. Calendar feeds and two-way Google Calendar synchronization support coordination across scheduling tools, while website and API integration tools extend the platform beyond its web interface. Mobile-browser access is available without an app download, but there is no dedicated mobile app. Choose Teachworks if scheduling, self-booking, group lessons, billing, payment collection, and teacher payment calculations belong in one administrative system. Organizations seeking a free plan, a dedicated app, or API access at the entry tier should consider alternatives.
