Switching from TutorBird

Move from TutorBird to ClassQuill without losing a beat

TutorBird handles scheduling and invoicing tidily — but if you've outgrown "admin only" and want a learning platform your tutors actually teach in, Xero sync and AU payment rails, moving across is straightforward. Here's exactly how.

Why tutoring businesses move

TutorBird is a tidy admin tool, but it stops at scheduling and invoicing — no built-in learning platform, no Xero sync, no Stripe Connect payouts or AU rails. Most businesses move when admin is handled but they need to prove students are learning and pay tutors properly.

How the switch works

1

Export from TutorBird

Pull your student and family list and your schedule out of TutorBird — its export covers the contacts and lesson data you need to bring across.

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 TutorBird — common questions

Will I lose my student data moving from TutorBird?

No. You export your students, families and schedule from TutorBird and we help import them into ClassQuill, so nothing is re-keyed by hand and nothing is lost.

Do I have to switch everything over on one day?

No — you can run TutorBird and ClassQuill in parallel and move sessions across at your own pace, then switch the old tool off once billing and scheduling are running cleanly.

What do I gain over TutorBird?

A built-in learning platform your tutors teach in (auto-marked homework with tutor review), Xero accounting sync, Stripe Connect tutor payouts, and AU rails (PayID, GST, Basiq) — the parts TutorBird doesn't cover.
