When should I switch to agency software like Teachworks?

When you employ 5+ tutors with payroll and multi-staff scheduling. Until then, OBRI covers solo and duo practices at lower cost.

Can I run multiple subjects under one account?

Yes. Each student profile is independent — teach math, English, and music from one tutor account.

No — it is operations software. Use referrals, ads, or marketplaces for leads; OBRI runs the business once they sign up.

How solo tutors and duos scaling past 10 students run scheduling, payments, and homework in one system — before hiring agency software.

😓You are the teacher, scheduler, accountant, and support desk — at 15+ students.
😓Different subjects and age groups mean different workflows — all in one inbox.
😓Considering agency tools (Teachworks, TutorCruncher) that cost more than you earn.
😓No single dashboard showing revenue, overdue payments, and this week's lessons.

OBRI solves all of these. Here is how.

See upcoming lessons, unpaid balances, and pending homework across every student — without opening five apps.

Free up to 3 students, then a flat monthly fee — not per-tutor agency pricing. Grow from side hustle to full-time without a software step-change.

Between live sessions, homework keeps students engaged and justifies retainers. The portal makes async work visible to parents.
