Which path fits you?

Choose Lenitera if

  • You are an independent tutor or run a small practice, and the learning plan is central to your work.
  • You want adaptive steps, tests, homework, and a student portal with magic link access in one place.
  • You can collect payments outside the product for now.

Stay with TutorCruncher or Wise if

  • TutorCruncher or Wise already covers the operational tools you need, such as billing, payroll, Zoom, and agency management.
  • Student invoicing, payment collection, or multi-tutor payroll are non-negotiable today.
  • You are optimizing a tutoring business OS — not an individual learning plan.

FAQ

  • Tutors often shortlist both. We show an honest A vs B matrix and add Lenitera as a third option when the pain is learning progress — not only scheduling and billing.
