Have Pencil Spaces but no way to run the business? Add ClassQuill
Pencil Spaces is a genuinely good virtual classroom — whiteboard, video, engagement tools. What it doesn't have is scheduling-as-CRM, invoicing, tutor payroll or a parent portal. ClassQuill adds the business layer, with a built-in whiteboard and video of its own already included.
Why tutoring businesses move
Pencil Spaces is a virtual-classroom platform, not a business one — no scheduling-as-CRM, no invoicing, no tutor payroll, no parent portal. Centres reach for a real TMS once the lesson side is solved but bookings, invoices, paying tutors and proving progress still aren't.
How the switch works
Bring your student list across
Pencil Spaces doesn't hold scheduling, billing or student-management data — there's nothing to export from that side. Bring across whatever student list you're already keeping, however you currently track it.
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.
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.
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.
What you're moving to
Switching from Pencil Spaces — common questions
Do I lose my Pencil Spaces session history?
Pencil Spaces doesn't hold the scheduling, billing or student records a TMS needs, so there's nothing operational to migrate from it — you bring your student list across and everything from there (bookings, invoices, payroll) runs in ClassQuill from day one.
Do I have to give up my whiteboard and video?
No — ClassQuill has its own built-in video and live whiteboard in every session, so you're not losing the classroom, just adding the business layer around it. Run both in parallel during the switch if you want the reassurance.
What does ClassQuill add over Pencil Spaces?
Scheduling, automated invoicing, Xero sync, tutor payroll via Stripe Connect, AU rails (PayID, GST, Basiq), and a curriculum-aligned learning platform with auto-marked homework — none of which Pencil Spaces offers.
