Attendance and payment for every lesson

A forgotten lesson won’t get lost

If a past lesson isn’t fully marked, a dot appears next to its date in the schedule. Open the day to see what’s left

Paid after the lesson or in advance

Agree on whatever suits you and the student. Tabula handles both

After the lesson

The debt shows on the student’s card, and one tap marks the payment
