Fantastic management software for a tutoring business -- outstanding customer service!

Overall, Bizstim has drastically reduced the time I would spend scheduling tutors and billing clients. Its also organized my workflow, tutor information, and client information. I haven't yet utilized their website integrations, but I'm looking forward to further exploring these capabilities.

PROS

Bizstim's customer service is outstanding and its what makes it stand out from its competitors. They provide prompt, effective customer service and think around corners to ensure your company processes are optimally set up. Unlike many other software companies, the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has run a tutoring company himself. This experience gives him invaluable insight into what you are looking for and he strives to be a true partner to other small business owners. He is very smartly (unlike other software companies) invested in your businesses' success. This is apparent in everything that Bizstim does, from the software itself to the excellent support for it.

CONS

Learning how to navigate the problem was a bit challenging, but this was the case with the other programs I "trialed" as well. The major difference with Bizstim was that they were just a phone call away to answer questions and walk me through how to do things. They also did an initial on-boarding call with me to help set things up, which was essential.

Reason for choosing Bizstim

I researched management software extensively. After looking at 10 to 15 products, I narrowed my search to 5. Most had free trials, two didn't respond to my initial inquiry, and I did free trial first of Tutor Cruncher and then Teachworks). With both, I ran in to roadblock after roadblock as I tried to implement -- customer service was laughably bad. Tutor Cruncher customer service is only available UK time and ONLY in chat. They also only answered exactly the question you ask, without thinking about the big picture of what you are trying to do. This was woefully insufficient when you are located in the US and managing everything yourself. Teachworks support was in a slightly better time zone, but their system is geared to one business model only -- not mine. They were inflexible about adapting it and the customer service's only goal seemed to be getting me off the phone as soon as possible. It was at that point I tried Bizstim -- it was last on my list of finalists because it wasn't tutoring company-specific. But boy am I glad I did! Bizstim is well set up to handle a variety of businesses and they worked with me to set up the program to my exact specifications. This is old-school customer service -- you call, they pick up or call you back and stay with you until your problem is solved. Or you can email. But the point is that you can get prompt help and get on with running your business. Genius!

Vendor Response

Thanks very much for your kind words, Johna. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help grow your business. I know how hard it can be learning new software and building a successful tutoring company. You've been a wonderful addition to the Bizstim family and I look forward to our future collaborations.

Peace Review

I do feel Bizstim does a great job with multiple schedules & this is what I use the system for. Also, for the database of client information.

PROS

1.) I really like the visual calendars for each tutor's schedule. This has made it very easy to work with scheduling students given the tutor's availability. 2.) I like the way the data base is set-up for keeping records of the client info. It is very clean & easy to read/follow. 3.) I also like the ability to add the tutor's availability to the system since it can change & they also like to see this on their end 4.) The tutoring session lists is a nice feature & I use frequently to screen shot this to confirm the schedule with parents/students

CONS

1.) For the calendar view I wish it would only show the current month & not the first week of the following month at the bottom as it is a bit confusing to look at. 2.) I would love if there was a way to add time blocks in different colors somehow on the tutor's calendar so it is visually clear when an open time slot is not scheduled/still available. 3.) I also feel like the back button resets the whole calendar when I am working on one tutor's calendar & would love if it would not reset. 4.) Default set to pull up active clients when searching through client lists/when sending bulk emails. 5.) Wish the login ID for clients was on the "View" page for the student's profiles as I have parents asking to confirm their login ID frequently & I have to select "edit" to see what this is for each student 6.) Wish you could add a whole week break for a tutor for their vacation requests vs day by day

Vendor Response

Thanks very much for your review and analysis of our software. The feedback is much appreciated. 1. We've removed the display of sessions that do not have a date for the month being displayed. 2. This is already available. To see a background availability in the tutor's specific calendar color, you need to use the week view or day view on the calendar. 3. This type of feature is generally browser specific. We will look into this for you and determine if there is anything we can do. 4. Done! By default, only active clients will be displayed within the clients list for sending mass emails. 5. Done! You can now see the id. 6. If the tutor is not available for a week or more, you want to create a custom schedule for them. To do so navigate to: TUTORS > SCHEDULES. If you have additional insights we welcome you to contact us at mail@bizstim.com. In many cases we may be able to provide training assistance or make tweaks to the software to better service your needs.
