Get paid for your skills, not your admin.

Slate is the web app that runs the diary, the money and the paperwork behind an independent tutor's teaching — including keeping it all in sync with Google Calendar, if you connect it. You teach. Everything else takes care of itself.

£46.00 collects Mon 8 June. No action needed.

Three bank transfers outstanding. None of them is your job to remember.

A lesson cancelled at nine the night before. Your policy should charge for that, not you.

“Sorry — did I pay you for last week?” A question neither of you should have to answer.

Five things you stop doing on a Sunday.

Your parents never make an account.

No password. No app. A secure link with the next lesson, what is owed, and how their child is doing. That is deliberate — the fewer things a parent has to set up, the more likely they are to actually look.

TO SPRUCE UP AS THE APP SHIPS

Where the real thing goes.

Everything below is a marked slot, not a decision. Each one is replaced with a real capture or a real photograph as the app reaches it — nothing here is invented artwork standing in for a feature that does not exist.

PRODUCT CAPTURE 16:10
The diary, on a real Thursday

A full week in the tutor app: recurring lessons, a held travel gap and one lesson marked taught.

Until then: the live diary panel in the hero, built from real components.

PHOTOGRAPHY 4:5
A tutor between lessons

Warm daylight, a real kitchen table, phone in one hand. Brand rules: no studio stock, no cool-blue filter, no cut-outs.

Until then: nothing. A slot is more honest than a stock photo.

WHAT WE CAN PROVE TODAY
You are the merchant

Payments go through your own Stripe account. Slate never holds a penny of your money, so there is nothing to be stuck in if we disappear.

Nothing held that isn't yours to hold

Every tutor's data is isolated at the database level, by Postgres itself. We build with UK and EU data residency as our standard across every provider we use — see our privacy policy for the full detail.

Nothing stored that is not needed

A note only exists because you wrote it. Anything the AI drafts from it — a topic, a homework suggestion — is confirmed by you before it saves, never automatically.

TUTOR QUOTE — SLOT Reserved for a real tutor quote at launch. Not filled with an invented one.
TUTOR QUOTE — SLOT Second slot. Same rule.

Your first lesson is scheduled in about five minutes.

Seven days free is one week of real teaching. Start with a Tuesday and see whether the money arrives on its own.
