When a meeting app is enough
If you only ever need a video call and keep nothing between lessons, a meeting app does that well. Boofly is for tutors who also schedule, set homework, test, take the register and get paid.
Boofly, a meeting app, or a spreadsheet?
Most tutors teach with a meeting app and run everything else from a calendar, a messenger and a spreadsheet. Here is what changes when all of it lives in Boofly.

Why not a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet holds anything, which is also the problem: nobody else can use it, and nothing in it reminds you of anything. In Boofly, students see their own schedule and homework, and your dashboard shows what needs you today.
