AI for tutors: plan sessions and mark in a fraction of the time

Toby BanksFounder, Skillzy

The dispatch

New listings, creator interviews, the occasional discount. Every other Friday.

A tutor’s billable hour is the session. Everything around it — planning the next one, marking the last one, writing the parent update — is unpaid and endless, and it scales linearly with every student you take on.

What gets handled

  • Session plans drafted to the student’s level and last week’s gaps
  • Marking with feedback you review, not feedback you write from scratch
  • Parent updates that actually go out, on time, sounding like you

Where the teaching stays

It never decides what a student needs — you do. It removes the paperwork between sessions so the next one is yours to teach, not to prepare at midnight.

I took on six more students and my Sundays came back. Both at once.
