One plan for the whole school — or your whole tuition practice
The Educator plan is priced per school or practice, not per classroom. One subscription covers every class your teachers or assistants create — unlimited classes, up to 35 learners in each — with the classroom dashboard, assignments and spreadsheet exports included. £9.99 a month, or £114.99 a year (4% cheaper). Private tutors and independent educators pay exactly the same and set their account up as a practice. Teachers never see a student's email, birthday or heritage answers. Want to try it first? Every account can run one free class of five students.
Contributing is voluntary
Paid plans unlock the ability to create — they are not payment for your work. Read the contribution terms before uploading anything. Approved experts keep full Knowledge Bank access without a paid plan — expertise, not payment, is what we ask for.
