Run group classes without losing the individual student
A group class is one thing to schedule and one thing to teach — and underneath, five students at five different rates, each with their own attendance and their own homework. ClassQuill keeps both true at once: the class stays one booking, while everything that has to be counted per student still is.
Each student brings their own rate into the class
A group session isn't one lump charge split by hand. Every student carries their own rate onto the session, and what each family owes is worked out from that rate and how long the class ran — so three students in the same room on three different rates needs no spreadsheet on the side.
Attendance is marked per head, before any money moves
Mark each student attended, no-show or excused for that class. Until you have, the session sits in a 'needs attendance first' state and nothing is billed — because in a group, who turned up is what decides what's owed. No family gets an invoice for a class their child missed.
One student can be unpaid while the rest are settled
Payment is tracked per student inside the class, not per class. You see which student in which session still owes, with overdue measured against your own payment terms — the reconciliation that quietly becomes impossible once one 'session' means six families.
See what the whole class is stuck on
Homework set for the class shows every member's progress in one view, and the questions students flagged as hard are pooled across the group. You find out what the class collectively hasn't got in time to reteach it — not one student at a time as each falls behind.

Can students in the same group be on different rates?
Yes. Each student's own rate is carried onto the group session, and what they owe is calculated from that rate and the length of the class. Several students in one class on different rates is the normal case, not a workaround.
How does attendance work for a group class?
You mark each student in the class attended, no-show or excused. The session is held in a "needs attendance first" state until you do, because in a group it's attendance that determines what each family owes — so nobody is billed for a class their child didn't attend.
What if one family pays and the others haven't?
That's tracked properly — payment sits with each student inside the class, not with the class as a whole. Your unpaid list shows which student in which session still owes, and flags it as overdue against your payment terms.
Can I see which students in a group are falling behind?
Yes. Homework set for the class shows each member's progress side by side, and the questions students saved as hard are pooled across the whole group — so the gap shows up as a class-level pattern rather than a surprise in one student's next report.
Can a student be in a group and still have one-to-one sessions?
Yes. A group is a way of running and billing a class, not a separate kind of student account — the same student can sit in a group class and have their own individual sessions alongside it.
