For tutors

The CRM for tutors who lose families in the gaps

Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM for tutors, with one AI assistant called Hiro built in. Send a booking page so parents grab a trial lesson, track every family on a pipeline, and ask Hiro to draft parent follow-up and prep you before each session. You approve every message. Free for 250 contacts, no credit card.

Where do tutors lose students?

A tutoring business leaks in two predictable places. The term gap: a student finishes a block of sessions, the parent means to book the next one, summer or a busy month gets in the way, and they never come back. The communication: parents who do not hear from you between sessions assume nothing is happening and quietly drift to a tutor who feels more involved.

None of this is about your teaching. It is about the follow-up around the teaching, which is exactly what falls off when your evenings are full of actual sessions. The tutors who fill their schedule are not the best at the subject. They are the best at staying in touch and making it easy to book.

What Hiro does for a tutoring business

Orbit has one AI assistant, Hiro, that opens with Cmd or Ctrl-J. Ask and it will:

  • Draft parent follow-up: the family that asked about availability, the parent waiting on a progress note, the student whose block is ending and needs re-enrolling.
  • Brief you before a session or parent meeting from your CRM context: the student, what you covered last time, goals, and what to raise.
  • Build a booking page for trial lessons and sessions, and keep your pipeline updated as families move from inquiry to re-enrolled.

Your first 30 days as a tutor

A simple way to get up and running.

  1. 1Week 1: import your families, tag each as lead, active student, or past student, and set pipeline stages (Inquiry, Trial booked, Enrolled, Active, Block ending, Re-enrolled or Lapsed).
  2. 2Week 1: connect a booking page so trial lessons and sessions land on your calendar without back-and-forth.
  3. 3Week 2: send the booking page to new inquiries so parents grab a trial slot themselves.
  4. 4Week 3: let Hiro draft parent follow-up each morning, and ask it for a brief before sessions.
  5. 5Week 4: set a scheduled task on every student's block-ending date so re-enrollment never slips, and ask Hiro to draft check-ins for past families.

How re-enrollment stops slipping

The end of a session block is the moment a family either re-enrolls or disappears, and it is the easiest thing to forget. Put it on a pipeline with a block-ending stage and a scheduled task, and the re-enrollment conversation always happens. Pair that with an easy way to book, and here is how to handle inbound leads for a tutoring business.

Every family carries a full timeline of sessions, notes, and messages, so you walk into each lesson knowing exactly where the student is. Nothing auto-sends. If a simple booking page is your edge over the bigger tutoring centers, here is what a booking page is and how it fills your calendar.

Families do not leave because of the teaching. They leave in the gap between blocks. Orbit and Hiro make sure the gap never opens.
