Why Novano

Built for the whole practice, not a piece of it

Materials, live teaching, grading, payments, and parent comms — with Nova running across all of it. The whole arc of your teaching day, in one place.

An AI that knows your students

Nova is built into every screen — aware of each student's progress and every parent conversation. It drafts, plans, and flags what needs you. Not a chatbot stapled to the side.

Live teaching, built in

Video, a shared whiteboard, and live annotation — inside Novano. No Zoom links to manage, no separate tools to stitch together.

Auto-grading you just approve

MCQs score the instant a student submits; Nova grades the written answers. You confirm — a class gradebook keeps it all in one place.

A portal for the whole family

Students join live classes and do their work; parents follow progress and message you securely. One link, no app to install.

One inbox for families

WhatsApp, email, and portal messages in a single thread per parent — nothing slips through three different apps.

Built for centers, not just solos

Run it alone, or add tutors under one org — each with their own login, sharing classes, students, and billing.

Pricing

Pricing that grows with you.

Pay for the students you teach, never the ones you don't. It's one continuous curve — as your roster grows, Novano moves you to the plan that costs less, automatically. No cliffs, no surprise bills.

Questions

Good to know

Who is Novano for?

Independent educators — whether you teach solo or run a tutoring center with a team of tutors. One place to create materials, teach live, grade, take payments, and talk to parents.

What is Nova?

Nova is the AI copilot built into Novano, available on every screen. It knows your students, their progress, and your parent conversations — so it can draft messages, plan your next session, write progress reports, and polish your notes. It also flags what needs you (a waiting parent, an unfinished assignment). You always approve before anything goes out.

Is there built-in video?

Yes — a live video + whiteboard studio is built in. Group or 1:1, with a shared whiteboard, live annotation on your materials, and a privacy-first design (students hear the class but never see each other's cameras). No Zoom links to manage.

What do families get in the portal?

One secure link per family — no app. Students join live classes and complete assignments online (auto-graded); parents follow progress and billing and can message you securely, protected by magic-link sign-in.

Can I add other tutors, or run a center?

Yes. Run it solo, or add tutors under one org — each with their own login, sharing classes, students, and billing. Everything stays scoped to your center.

Do features differ by plan?

No — every feature is on every plan. Tiers differ only by how many students are included before a small per-student rate kicks in, plus your monthly AI generation allowance. Your plan follows your active-student count automatically, so you never upgrade for features or lose access when a cohort ends.

Can I let new students try a class first?

Yes. Add any prospective student to a 1:1 or group session as a free trial guest — up to 2 sessions each. Trial sessions are never charged and don't count toward your active-student number, so a prospect trying you out never bumps your plan or adds a per-student charge. When you're ready to keep teaching them, convert them to a regular student in one tap — they only start counting from your next billing cycle.

How do payments work?

Novano runs on Stripe — parents pay you directly and payouts land in your bank (you're the merchant of record). Charge upfront, bill when a session completes, or offer recurring class subscriptions.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — at launch every plan starts with a 30-day free trial (card required, cancel anytime). Novano is in private beta right now, so join the waitlist for early access — and waitlist members lock in launch pricing.
