Copybook

Plan the lesson. Record the session. Hand over the note.

Copybook is a session planner and parent progress note for tutoring centres. Keep each student's topic plan, record what you covered and the homework you set, then print a one-page note a parent can read in a minute. It runs in your browser, with nothing to sign up for.

Free to use. No account. Your students' records stay on this device.

So, how's she getting on?

It is the question every parent asks at pickup. The answer is somewhere in a paper diary, a spreadsheet and your memory of last Tuesday. So you smile, say something kind and vague, and promise to send an update you will have to write from scratch.

Copybook keeps the answer as you go, so the update is already written.

How it works

Three habits. One page at the end.

You already plan, teach and mark. Copybook just keeps it in one place, and does the adding up for you.

Plan the topics

Give each student an ordered topic plan: Fractions, then Ratio, then Negative numbers. Schedule a session, tick the topics you mean to cover, and Copybook remembers their usual time for next week.

Record what happened

After the session, mark them attended or missed, tick what you actually covered, and rate each topic in words: Needs practice, Getting there or Confident. Add notes and set homework with a due date. Anything overdue gets flagged.

Hand over the note

Open the progress note. It covers the last 28 days unless you pick other dates, greets the parent by name, and suggests what to focus on next. Add your comment, press Print, and you have one clean page for the parent, on paper or as a PDF.

Everything a tutor needs, and nothing a tutor doesn't.

A schedule that notices what's missing

Your home screen shows today and the days ahead, labelled Today, Tomorrow and Fri 23 Oct. Any past session you haven't recorded waits at the top under Needs recording, so nothing slips.

Progress you don't have to track

Each topic shows Not started, Planned or Covered, with its latest rating and date. Copybook works it out from your sessions.

Ratings in words, not just colours

Needs practice, Getting there, Confident. The words print clearly in black and white, so the note reads well on any printer.

Homework that chases itself

Every task you set while recording lands on the student's homework list with a done tick. Overdue tasks are flagged and sit at the top.

Private by default

No accounts, no server, no sign-up. Everything is saved in your browser on this device, and Settings has a button to wipe it all for a shared computer.

Fits the end of a session

Use it on the laptop at the front desk or on your phone straight after the lesson. It follows your system's dark mode for evening marking, too.

Have a go. It's the real app.

This is Copybook running right here in the page. Add a student, plan a session, then open their progress note. Whatever you type is saved only in this browser.

Next time a parent asks, hand them a page.

Start with one student and one session. By the end of the month, the note is ready.
