Replacing two tools with one

Replace Oases and Pencil Spaces with one platform

Oases runs scheduling, billing and test-plan tracking well, but has no classroom layer at all — no video, no whiteboard — so online centres typically add something like Pencil Spaces for the actual lesson. ClassQuill matches Oases on ops and includes built-in video and a live whiteboard, so there's nothing extra to add.

Why tutoring businesses move

Oases has no video or whiteboard of its own, so centres running online sessions add a separate classroom tool like Pencil Spaces on top of it. ClassQuill is comparable to Oases on scheduling, billing and payroll, and includes video and a whiteboard natively — plus a curriculum-aligned learning platform and Australian billing rails Oases (US-built) doesn't have.

How the switch works

1

Export from Oases

Get your client, tutor and schedule data out of Oases. Pencil Spaces has nothing operational to bring across since it isn't a business tool.

2

We help you import

Send us your export and we'll help bring your students, contacts and schedule into ClassQuill — you're not re-keying a spreadsheet by hand.

3

Run both in parallel

Keep your old tool live while you get comfortable. Move real sessions across at your own pace — there's no big-bang cutover that risks a billing run.

4

Go live when you're ready

Once billing and scheduling are running cleanly in ClassQuill, switch off the old tool. Your families barely notice — they just start getting clearer updates.

Switching from Oases and Pencil Spaces — common questions

I use Oases and Pencil Spaces together — can ClassQuill replace both?

Yes. ClassQuill is comparable to Oases on scheduling, billing and payroll, and its built-in video and live whiteboard cover what Pencil Spaces adds for the online lesson — so it's one platform instead of two.

How does ClassQuill compare to Oases on operations?

Oases is a deep US tutoring-centre platform on scheduling, billing and payroll — ClassQuill is comparable there and adds a native classroom (video + whiteboard) and Australian billing rails Oases wasn't built for.

What do I gain over Oases + Pencil Spaces combined?

A curriculum-aligned learning platform with in-platform auto-marking, AU rails (PayID, GST, Basiq) in place of a US-shaped billing model, and one platform instead of two subscriptions for ops and the classroom.

One platform for the ops and the classroom Oases doesn't have
