Teachers and tutors are a lot of things: creative, disciplined, passionate, focused. But “good with spreadsheets” and “familiar with small business legalities” are rarely on that same list. Sometimes being a teacher can feel like doing two different jobs: inspiring the next generation and being an accountant. Not many people are that talented.
ChessMatePro takes on the management so you can focus on the teaching. We have built software systems to simplify and automate many of the management tasks that are required to schedule students, get paid, report activities and grow your business. Our teachers say that before ChessMatePro, they spent 20% of their time on administrative tasks running their training program. That is about 8 hours a week that you could be teaching more.
Not at all! ChessMatePro works for any teacher who needs help organizing schedules, communicating with clients, and tracking costs and payments. Private chess instructors often need more help in these areas than those associated with a school. But even if you teach through a university or other school setting, ChessMatePro has tools that can help you be more productive and spend more time teaching, and less time hassling with administrative tasks.
Currently, ChessMatePro is only set up to have single teacher access. We cannot currently distinguish between different teachers with different rosters and different billing needs. But this is changing, so stay tuned!
We've found that parents and students aren't crazy about remembering yet another login and password. So ChessMatePro doesn't have separate portals for student families. But don't worry! ChessMatePro still allows you to stay in close touch with your students' families through text-based communication that provides dynamic links to the information they need: schedules, event reminders, self-scheduling tools, invoices and payment options are all available via text so parents and students can handle everything right from their phones.
