BAEZ TECH SOLUTIONS

In today’s competitive tutoring landscape, efficient management systems can make or break a growing education business. One of our clients recently implemented Teachworks, a comprehensive tutoring management platform, and the results have been remarkable. Here’s how they revolutionized their operations and achieved significant ROI through smart automation.

What is Teachworks?

Teachworks is a cloud-based management software specifically designed for tutoring businesses, learning centers, and educational service providers. The platform offers a complete suite of tools including student management, scheduling, billing, payment processing, and reporting capabilities. What sets Teachworks apart is its focus on the unique needs of education businesses – from managing individual tutoring sessions to coordinating complex group classes.

The platform helps tutoring businesses eliminate administrative headaches by centralizing all operations in one intuitive dashboard. Teachers can track student progress, parents can monitor their children’s learning journey, and administrators can oversee the entire operation with real-time insights.

Project Goals

Our client approached us with several key objectives for their Teachworks implementation:

Primary Goals:

• Reduce administrative workload for staff members
• Improve communication with students and parents after lesson completion
• Automate repetitive tasks to free up time for actual teaching
• Create a more professional experience for clients
• Establish better tracking and follow-up processes for new students

Secondary Objectives:

• Increase student retention through better engagement
• Reduce manual errors in data entry and communication
• Create scalable processes that could grow with the business
• Improve overall operational efficiency

Workflow Implementation

The centerpiece of our solution was an automated workflow using Zapier integration that activates immediately after each lesson is completed in Teachworks. Here’s how the streamlined process works:

The Automated Sequence:

1. Lesson Completion Trigger: When a tutor marks a lesson as complete in Teachworks, the automation immediately springs into action.
2. Data Retrieval: The system automatically pulls comprehensive student information including:

• Student contact details
• Lesson history and totals
• Progress notes
• Parent/guardian information

1. Smart Logic Check: The workflow includes intelligent decision-making that evaluates whether this is a new student (lesson count of one or less) or an existing student.
2. Personalized Communication: Based on the student’s status, the system sends targeted email communications:

• New students receive welcome messages with next steps and program information
• Existing students get progress updates and session summaries
• Parents are automatically notified with lesson reports and student progress

1. Follow-up Scheduling: For new students, additional follow-up sequences are triggered to ensure proper onboarding and engagement.

This automated workflow ensures that no student falls through the cracks and that communication remains consistent and professional across all interactions.

Return on Investment (ROI)

The implementation of this Teachworks automation system delivered impressive results for our client:

Time Savings

• 5+ hours per week saved on manual administrative tasks
• Reduced response time from 24+ hours to immediate automated responses
• Eliminated missed follow-ups that previously led to student churn

Financial Impact

• 15% increase in student retention due to improved communication and follow-up
• Reduced administrative overhead by automating routine tasks
• Increased capacity to take on more students without additional administrative staff

Operational Improvements

• Consistent messaging across all student interactions
• Better data tracking for business insights and reporting
• Scalable system that grows with the business without proportional increase in admin work

The Bigger Picture

This Teachworks implementation demonstrates how the right technology, combined with smart automation, can transform an education business. By removing administrative friction and ensuring consistent communication, our client was able to focus on what they do best – teaching and helping students succeed.

The automated workflow doesn’t just save time; it creates a more professional, responsive experience that parents and students have come to expect in today’s digital world. When families receive immediate, personalized communication after each lesson, it reinforces the value of the tutoring services and builds stronger relationships.
