Your first hour with Planur for Tutors

Everything below happens in your browser β€” on a laptop or a phone, no install, no setup call. Follow the six steps in order the first time, or jump to the one you need. Start free with five students, or try a paid plan free for fourteen days; neither asks for a card.

1

Create your practice

Open Planur in your browser and sign in with your email β€” we send a short code, so there is no password to remember. Give your practice a name; that is your business, not a single room, so two teaching locations still live under one practice.

You land on a Get started checklist that walks you through the first four things: a class, your students, your sessions, and inviting students to the app.

The Get started checklist after creating a practice: create a batch, add students, schedule sessions, invite students.
2

Add a class

Create a batch β€” a group who study together, or a one-to-one named after the student. Give it a name like β€œYear 6 β€” 11+ Prep” and a subject, and it is ready for students and sessions.

The New batch sheet: choose group or one-to-one, name it, pick a subject.
3

Add your students

Add each student with as much or as little as you have β€” a name is enough to start. Parent name, email and phone are optional, and you set the billing cycle per student. A student can link their own Planur account later with a join code, but you can run everything without waiting for them to.

Your day, at a glance

The dashboard leads with what you do most β€” take a register, add a student, draft an AI test, or record a payment. Below that: your next class, how many registers are still to mark, your student count, and anything left unpaid.

5

Draft an AI practice test

Tell it what to cover, the subject, year group, difficulty and how many questions β€” it drafts the paper in seconds. The AI only ever sees those few words you typed. No student name, mark, register or uploaded file is sent with the request.

Tests & marks › New AI practice test
The AI practice-test form: topic, subject, year group, difficulty, number of questions.

Read it, then publish

Every question comes with its marked answer and a worked explanation, for you to check. Nothing reaches a student until you press Publish β€” you read it first, always. Edit any question, or regenerate, before it goes out.

A drafted paper with each answer marked and explained, and a Publish button β€” you review before students see it.
