For independent tutors

Spend less time running your tutoring practice.

Keep students, scheduling, attendance, billing and teaching work in one place so administration doesn't take over the time you want to spend teaching.

A tutor's content library in Novano: 44 items filtered by type — worksheets, lesson plans, quizzes, exit tickets, warm-ups — each tagged by subject and grade

Teach and run the practice from the same place.

Most tutoring software handles the admin and leaves the teaching to something else. Novano does both, which is why the student record and the invoice know about each other.

Create

Describe the worksheet. Get a draft.

Tell Nova what you need — or record a voice note between sessions — and get a worksheet, quiz or lesson plan back with an answer key. Edit it, save it, reuse it. Everything you make stays in your library.

A generated worksheet open in Novano, with an instruction block above numbered open-ended questions carrying point values
A generated worksheet in Novano with a prompt bar for asking Nova to adjust it, and a download menu offering a student copy or a tutor copy with answers
Ask for changes in the same window you are reading the draft in — then take it away as a student copy, or as a tutor copy with the answers.
Teach

Your classroom, not a Zoom link.

Video and a shared whiteboard, inside Novano. Drop a worksheet in and annotate it while you teach. The whiteboard is saved, so a student can go back over it.

Group classes are built so students hear the class but never see each other's cameras.

Mark

Multiple choice marks itself. Nova drafts the rest.

Assign work to a student or a whole class. They complete it online. Multiple-choice questions are scored on submission; Nova drafts the written ones for you to check. Everything lands in a gradebook that builds a record over time.

Get paid

Invoices that go out, payments that arrive.

Charge upfront, sell a prepaid package that sessions draw down, or run a monthly subscription. Fee reminders go out without you writing them, and what each family owes stays in one place.

Keep families close

One secure link per family.

Parents get their own sign-in — no app, no password to reset. They see progress, homework and what they owe, which is usually enough to stop the messages asking.

Questions

Good to know

Is this built for someone teaching on their own?

Yes. The parts you don't need stay out of the way, and what's left is the work of a practice: scheduling, teaching, marking, invoicing and keeping families informed.

Is there built-in video?

Yes — video and a shared whiteboard inside Novano, with live annotation on your materials, so there's no separate meeting tool to manage.

Do my students need an account?

Students and parents sign in through a secure link. No app to install.

How does marking work?

Multiple choice is scored on submission, and Nova drafts the written answers for you to check and adjust. Both land in the same gradebook.

What happens if I take on a second teacher?

You move to the Center tier, which adds the organization layer — scheduling across teachers, payroll, CRM and reporting. Same account, same students, same materials.

Have a look before you move anything.
