Verity for tuition centres
Tuition runs on hours matched between a tutor and a student, and every cancellation creates a debt. Verity tracks delivery, make-ups and capacity so the ledger of owed sessions is real.
Sized for a centre run by the people who also teach in it.

How the business runs
A tuition centre does not run batches on a fixed timetable in the way a coaching institute does. It matches individual students to individual tutors in specific subjects at specific times, and the whole operation is the maintenance of that matching against constant disruption — a student has an exam, a tutor is unwell, a session is cancelled at short notice.
Every cancellation creates a make-up session: an hour the centre owes and has not delivered. Those accumulate, they are usually tracked in a notebook or not at all, and the parent remembers them precisely. A centre carrying thirty-eight owed sessions has a delivery obligation and a reputational exposure it has not quantified.
The second problem is capacity in a very literal sense. Tutor hours are the entire supply, they cannot be stored, and an unfilled hour is gone. Two tutors at half utilisation while three students wait for a subject is a matching failure, not a demand failure, and it is invisible without recording both sides.
The third is that fees are usually monthly and sessions continue regardless. Fee follow-up is uncomfortable in a small centre where the owner teaches the child, so it slips, and the arrears grow while delivery continues.
The fourth is that absence is the earliest warning of a student leaving, and it is noticed by the tutor and recorded nowhere.
Verity records the scheduled session, the delivered session, the make-up owed, the tutor’s available hours and the fee position, without requiring an administrator.
What Verity calls these things
What gets in the way
Tuition problems come from hours owed, hours wasted and conversations nobody wants to have.
Make-up sessions accumulate untracked
A cancelled session becomes an hour the centre owes. The parent remembers it exactly; the centre tracks it in a notebook or in someone’s head.
In Verity A cancellation creates a make-up record with a student, a subject and an age, so the obligation is visible and schedulable.
Tutor hours are wasted while students wait
One tutor is under-booked while students wait for a subject someone else teaches, and nobody sees both sides at once.
In Verity Tutor availability and unmet student demand are recorded together, so matching failures surface as a list.
Absence is the last thing anyone records
A student misses three sessions in a row. The tutor notices and mentions it. Nothing happens, and the student does not return.
In Verity Attendance is recorded per session, so consecutive absence raises a contact task with the parent.
Fees slip because the conversation is personal
The owner teaches the child and finds it hard to chase the parent, so arrears grow while sessions continue.
In Verity Fee position ages on the student record with contact history, so the conversation is factual and timely rather than awkward and late.
Scheduling changes are made by message
Reschedules are agreed over messages between a parent, a tutor and the owner, and the three end up with different versions.
In Verity The session is the record, so a reschedule updates one place and everyone reads the same schedule.
Progress is discussed without a record
A parent asks how their child is doing and the answer depends on which tutor is asked and what they remember.
In Verity Session notes attach to the student, so the answer is consistent and specific.
The complete system
One system, sized for a centre without an office. These are the parts it works with.
Work
Each session is work with a student, a tutor, a subject, a slot, a delivered state and — where cancelled — a make-up obligation.
Why it matters here The session is the product, and the difference between scheduled and delivered is the centre’s real liability.
In practice Thirty-eight make-up sessions owed across twenty-two students, the oldest six weeks.
People
Tutors are records with their subjects, available hours, committed sessions and delivery history.
Why it matters here Tutor hours are the entire supply of the business, and they cannot be stored.
In practice Two tutors below half utilisation while three students wait for a subject.
Relationships
Students are records with their subjects, tutors, schedule, attendance, session notes, fee position and parent contact history.
Why it matters here A tuition relationship is with a household, and siblings and referrals are how these centres grow.
In practice A family with two children, one fee position and one contact history.
Workflows
Monthly fees, adjustments for undelivered sessions, discounts and make-up scheduling move through defined steps with recorded decisions.
Why it matters here Adjusting a fee for sessions not delivered is the fairest and most frequently mishandled decision in tuition.
In practice An adjustment applied for undelivered sessions, recorded rather than negotiated afresh each month.
Records
Notes from each session attach to the student, building a record of what was covered.
Why it matters here The parent conversation about progress is the centre’s main retention tool, and it needs specifics.
In practice A parent asks how their child is doing; the answer comes from the last six sessions rather than from memory.
Reports and analytics
Sessions scheduled against delivered, make-ups owed, tutor utilisation, attendance patterns, fee ageing and retention come from the operational records.
Why it matters here A tuition centre owner usually knows the month’s fees and nothing about delivery or utilisation.
In practice Delivered against scheduled sessions by tutor and by month.
Verity AI
Verity AI answers from your own session, tutor, student and fee records, respects permissions, and can create assigned follow-ups.
Why it matters here The owner is teaching most of the day and needs an answer rather than a report to prepare.
In practice "Which make-ups are owed and unscheduled?" returns thirty-eight, with scheduling tasks raised.
Communication
Messages, reminders and notes attach to the student or session they concern.
Why it matters here Reschedules and fee conversations happen over messages, and those messages are the only version of the truth.
In practice A reschedule agreed with a parent recorded on the session rather than in one person’s chat.
Locations
Rooms and slots are locations, so capacity is a real constraint rather than an assumption.
Why it matters here A centre can be tutor-constrained or room-constrained, and the two have different fixes.
In practice Slot occupancy by room and hour, alongside tutor availability.
Control
One permission model and one audit trail across every record.
Why it matters here Fee adjustments in a small centre are made informally and add up.
In practice Every fee adjustment carries the reason and the person who applied it.
Work in motion
These already happen. As records, the difference between the two stops being a memory.
Recording demand that could not be matched is what tells the centre which tutor to hire next.
Distinguishing who cancelled is what determines whether a make-up is owed.
An owed hour that is never scheduled becomes a fee dispute at the end of the term.
Three absences in a row is the clearest early signal a centre gets, and it is usually only noticed by the tutor.
Showing the calculation is what prevents the monthly negotiation about what was actually delivered.
Idle tutors and waiting students in the same week is a matching failure with a specific fix.
Verity AI
Verity AI reads the same session, tutor, student and fee records the centre creates as it teaches. It answers from your own centre, respects permissions, and can turn an answer into scheduling and contact tasks.
Verity / Ask
Verity AI only returns what the person asking has permission to see.
Without chasing
Each runs from the centre’s own records at the point the condition is met.
When
The centre cancels a session
When
A student misses consecutive sessions
When
A tutor has unfilled available hours
When
A monthly fee falls due
When
A fee balance passes its terms
When
A make-up remains unscheduled past threshold
What you can understand
Delivery, capacity and retention from records created by teaching.
The centre does not gain an administrator. Marking a session delivered and noting what was covered produces all of this.
One system, different ways of seeing it
Everyone works from the same records, and each opens on what they need.
Owner
What do we owe and what are we wasting?
Make-ups owed, tutor utilisation, unmet demand, fee ageing, retention across terms.
Coordinator
What has to be scheduled?
Make-ups outstanding, tutor availability, absences to follow up, reschedules requested.
Tutor
Who am I seeing and where did we get to?
Today’s sessions, student history and notes, make-ups assigned, attendance to record.
Where it is used
Cancellations by the centre creating an owed session with an age, so the obligation parents remember precisely is one the centre can see.
Available hours recorded alongside unmet subject demand, so idle tutors and waiting students surface as a matching problem with a fix.
Consecutive absences raising a contact task, catching the clearest early signal that a student is leaving.
Monthly fees raised against sessions actually delivered with adjustments shown, ending the monthly negotiation about what happened.
What was covered recorded against the student, so the parent conversation about progress is specific and consistent.
Changes updating the session itself rather than living in three separate message threads with different versions.
Tutor hours, room slots and unmet demand together, so hiring decisions follow evidence.
Plain-language questions across sessions, tutors, students and fees, with scheduling tasks raised in the same step.
Getting there
The schedule book, the fee register and whatever messaging you use with parents are mapped during implementation. Students, tutors, schedules, outstanding make-ups and fee positions are brought across, and Verity is configured around how the centre already runs its week.
Implementation runs about four weeks: discovery and mapping, configuration, migration, then an ongoing operations partnership.
Questions
Verity AI answers questions from your own session, tutor, student and fee records: which make-ups are owed and unscheduled, which tutors are below their available hours, which students have missed three sessions in a row, which subjects students want that you cannot staff. Each answer can become a scheduling or contact task.
Yes, and for most centres that is the main reason to use it. A cancellation by the centre creates a make-up obligation against the student with an age, so the hours you owe are visible and schedulable rather than held in a notebook while the parent tracks them precisely.
Tutor available hours and committed sessions are recorded alongside unmet subject demand, so a tutor at half utilisation while students wait for another subject surfaces as a matching failure with a specific fix.
No. The records come from marking a session delivered and noting what was covered, which the tutor does anyway. There is no separate data-entry job.
Monthly fees are raised against sessions actually delivered with adjustments for undelivered ones shown, so the calculation is visible to the parent and the monthly negotiation about what happened does not arise.
Consecutive absences raise a contact task with the student’s history attached. That pattern is the clearest early signal a centre gets and is usually noticed only by the tutor.
No. Verity records the reschedule, the fee position and the contact history against the session and student, so everyone reads the same schedule regardless of which thread the conversation happened in.
That is the size it is written for. Owed make-ups, idle tutor hours and slipping fees are all more damaging in a small centre and less likely to be noticed.
About four weeks: discovery and mapping of how the centre schedules and charges, configuration, migration of students, tutors and outstanding make-ups, then an ongoing operations partnership.
