Which fits you?
Choose Lenitera if
- You are a solo tutor (or small practice) and the learning plan is the product, not the CRM.
- You want progress, tests, and homework tied to the program — not only attendance notes.
- You can wait on built-in invoices and card payments for now.
Choose Teachworks if
- You need mature invoicing, automated billing, and many integrations today.
- You run multiple tutors, locations, or payroll — Teachworks is built for that scale.
- Business admin is the main pain; pedagogy tooling is secondary.

FAQ
- For independent tutors who need a learning plan, yes. For agencies that need payroll, support for multiple locations, and advanced billing automation, Teachworks is currently the better fit.
- If billing automation and team management are the priority, Teachworks remains the better fit. If you want program steps, scores, and practice in one path, Lenitera is the closer alternative without claiming the same CRM capabilities.
- No. Lenitera does not offer student invoicing or payment collection yet. If billing automation is your primary need, stay with Teachworks or use a separate payment tool.
- A reusable library, adaptive program paths, step scores, group heatmaps, a student portal with magic link access, and a lesson room tied to program steps.
- Independent tutors and small practices with structured teaching (languages, exams, school support). Not a multi-branch agency OS.
