Versus the photocopier
What you have works. It costs you your Sunday, and it can't talk to a parent.
The real competitor isn't software. It's the photocopier. Printed worksheets have run tutoring centres for decades and they still work. They also come back half done, get marked at 10pm, tell you nothing by topic, and leave the parent with no idea what happened. Same worksheets, different delivery.
Paper
Print, hand out, collect, mark, hand back. Reliable, familiar, and invisible to the parent who's paying.
The same worksheets, on a platform
Your sheets, converted once. Assigned in three clicks, done on a phone, marked instantly, tracked by topic, reported every fortnight.
| Printed worksheets | StudyPro | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting it to the student | Print and hand out on Tuesday | Assign on Tuesday, on their phone by Tuesday night |
| Getting it back | Some of it, on Tuesday, if they remember | Submitted when done, visible to you immediately |
| Marking | You, Sunday night | Instant, with a worked solution |
| Help when stuck | None until next week | An explanation from your page |
| What the class got wrong | You find out by marking all of it | Monday morning heatmap |
| What the parent sees | A sheet in a bag, maybe | A fortnightly report with your logo |
| Your material's safety | Photocopied by anyone, walks out the door | On the platform, watermarked to the student, and nothing downloads |
| Cost | Paper, toner, your Sunday | Published pricing by centre size |
Use Printed worksheets when
- Marking is fast because the class is tiny
- Parents are happy with silence
Use StudyPro when
- You're marking at 10pm
- Term 4 lost you students
- A parent asked how their child is going and you had nothing to show
Paper isn't broken. It just does nothing between sessions and says nothing to the parent. The same worksheets on a platform fix both without changing a word of what you teach.
Questions
What owners ask about this one.
Do students still need to write things down?
Working out, yes, on paper, exactly as now. The answer goes in on the phone and gets marked. Extended writing is typed or photographed, your choice.
