Test prep tutoring software for IELTS, SAT and exam tutors: prepaid lessons, lesson reports and tutor pay in one place.

Halqora is software for test prep tutoring businesses that teach IELTS, SAT, GMAT and other exams in live one-to-one lessons online: recurring scheduling across time zones, a lesson report after every class, a classroom with synced practice papers, prepaid monthly billing reconciled against the lessons that ran, and tutor pay from the same lesson record.

## One-to-one exam prep, scheduled and recorded, for IELTS, SAT, GMAT or any test you teach.

- **The exams you teach.** IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, GMAT or A-levels, set up as your subjects.
- **Recurring lessons up to exam day.** Set a weekly pattern once; each lesson stays at the right local time.
- **Trial lessons for new students.** Book a trial with any tutor in the same calendar.
- **Makeups when a lesson moves.** A missed lesson and its makeup both stay on record.
- **A lesson report after every class.** The tutor adds a star rating, a summary and homework.
- **Students join without an account.** A private class link opens the lesson in the browser.

## Work through practice papers in a built-in classroom: synced PDFs, a whiteboard and screen share.

- **Practice papers, page by page.** Upload materials you have rights to use; pages turn in sync and both of you can annotate.
- **Whiteboard and screen share.** Work through a maths problem or mark up an essay on screen.
- **Observe lessons quietly.** Join hidden for quality checks; cameras only where consent is on file.

## Students in Dubai, Lagos and Sydney, tutors in London, Toronto and Manila: every lesson at the right local time.

- **Recurring lessons in each time zone.** Each schedule keeps its agreed local time when the clocks change.
- **Each tutor's calendar in their own time.** Tutors see their lessons in their local time and record outcomes.
- **Lateness recorded with every lesson.** Minutes late are entered with the outcome and flow into tutor pay.
- **Cancellations and no-shows by tutor and student.** See who misses lessons and how often, with trends over time.

## Prepaid monthly billing: invoice the month's lessons up front, then settle the difference on the next invoice.

- **A prepaid forecast from the schedule.** Each month's invoice lists the lessons scheduled for that month, at the student's rate.
- **Reconciled the following month.** The next invoice adds a credit line when fewer lessons were billable than prepaid.
- **Or bill afterwards.** Any student can be postpaid instead, billed for the lessons they had.
- **Tutor pay from the lesson record.** Completed lessons, lateness and no-shows set each tutor's pay.

## Questions

### Can students pay for a month of lessons in advance?

Yes. Set a student to prepaid and each monthly billing run invoices the lessons scheduled for that month at the student's rate. The next invoice reconciles that forecast against billable lessons, with a credit line when fewer ran. Billing runs create drafts you review before anything is sent. Halqora bills month by month from the schedule rather than selling fixed lesson packages.

### Do tutors write progress notes?

After each completed lesson, the tutor submits a report: a star rating, a summary of what was covered and the homework. Tutors see their own reports and admins see all of them; families don't see them through their links. Payroll for a period waits until the required reports are in. There is no score tracker or practice-test module.

### Can different tutors teach IELTS, SAT and GMAT?

Yes. Set up each exam as a subject and assign tutors to the subjects they teach. Every lesson is one-to-one, and each student has their own rate and billing currency, so an IELTS student in Dubai and an SAT student in Lagos can be billed differently.

### What happens when a student cancels close to the lesson?

A cancellation with at least 3 hours' notice is not charged; later cancellations and no-shows are charged in full unless an admin grants an emergency exception. A tutor cancellation is never billed to the student. For prepaid students, the next invoice's reconciliation applies the same rules.

### How much does Halqora cost for 80 test prep students?

On Academy, USD 2.50 per active student per month with a USD 99 minimum, 80 active students cost USD 200 a month; annual billing gives 2 months free. Starter is USD 39 a month for up to 25 active students. An active student has a class scheduled or taught that month. Free data import and a 14-day pilot are included.
