CRM Questions for Tutors
Can I manage both students and parents in the same system?
Yes, you can create linked contacts for students and their parents. Store details for both, and communicate with parents while tracking each student's progress.
How do I track student progress over time?
Add notes to each student's record after every lesson. Track topics covered, areas for improvement, and progress towards goals. Everything is stored in one place for easy reference.
Can students or parents book lessons online?
Yes, share your booking link and let students or parents schedule lessons directly. Set your available hours and Kabooly handles the rest.
How do other tutors use Kabooly?
Tutors typically use Kabooly to manage enquiries, track student details and progress, schedule lessons, send reminders, and understand which marketing channels bring new students.
Can I send lesson reminders automatically?
You can create email templates for reminders and send them to upcoming appointments. This helps reduce no-shows and keeps students engaged.
How do I manage enquiries while teaching?
Website enquiries can come through forms that create contacts automatically. When you have a break, review new leads in your pipeline and follow up when convenient.
Is there a limit on how many student notes I can store?
No limit on notes. Store as much detail as you need for each student. Your limits are based on total contacts and email sends, not the amount of information per student.
Can I track where my new students come from?
Yes, lead attribution shows you which marketing channels bring enquiries. Know whether students find you through Google, social media, referrals, or other sources.
How a tutoring business runs in Kabooly
Not a feature list. This is the setup most tuition businesses end up with.
Pipeline stages that match a term
Stages are yours to define. Tuition businesses usually land on something like Enquiry, Trial Lesson Booked, Trial Completed, Regular Student, Paused, and Finished. A student sitting in Trial Completed for two weeks is a follow up you can see rather than one you forgot.
Parents and students on the same record
Contacts carry tags and custom fields, so the paying parent and the student they are paying for stay linked, and you can filter on things like subject, exam board, or year group without keeping a second spreadsheet.
An enquiry form that starts the process
Build the form, embed it on your site, and a submission creates the contact and can start an automation on its own. The enquiry lands in your pipeline rather than in an inbox you read at nine at night.
Parents booking their own lessons
Set up booking types for trial lessons, single sessions, or consultations, publish the booking widget on your site, and let parents pick from your real availability. The back and forth about Tuesday at five stops.
Lead sources you can actually report on
UTM parameters are captured on form submissions, so the tracking reports tell you whether your students came from search, a directory, a school, or a parent who recommended you. Most tutors are surprised by the answer.
Term time email without the mail merge
Marketing lists, email templates and campaigns are built in, so the start of term message, the exam season reminder, and the September restart go out from the same place your student records live.
Three automations worth building in your first week
Each of these is a trigger, an optional wait, and an action. Nothing to code.
-
The enquiry that gets answered the same day
When a form is submitted, send an acknowledgement email with your availability and next steps, and create a task for yourself to call. Speed of reply is the single biggest factor in whether an enquiry becomes a student.
-
The trial lesson that did not convert
When a deal moves to your Trial Completed stage, wait three days, then send a short honest email asking whether they would like to book a regular slot. Most tutors never send this, and it is the cheapest new student you will ever get.
-
The student who quietly stopped
When you tag a contact as Paused, wait eight weeks, then send a check in before the next term starts. Lapsed students are far easier to bring back than strangers are to win.
