Looking for LMS(?) that has a focus on tutoring/1:1 live sessions

Seeking Advice

I’m looking for a platform that has the following capabilities:
Audience served: Higher ed B2C and B2B
Frontend Student and Coach/Tutor/Admin dashboard needed.

  1. Allows students to purchase async courses with add-on tutoring hours or for admin to enroll/assign students async courses and tutoring hours
  2. Allows students to book 1:1 tutoring with their assigned tutor
  3. Shows students how many tutoring hours they have left
  4. Possibly some CRM-type capabilities (emailing/reminders etc)
  5. Gives admin/tutors a report on how their students are performing
  6. Allows admins/tutors to create “action plans” that are displayable on the student’s frontend

So far, it seems like most platforms are either very tutoring-focused or very async course-focused with little in-between.

These are the platforms I’ve evaluated so far:
Hosted: Arlo, TalentLMS, Thinkific, Teachable, Moodle, CoachAccountable, TutorBird, Teachworks, TeachMint, Heights, Kajabi, Uteach, Steppit, Podia, Absorb
Custom: Learndash/WP with custom build + CRM

I would be SO grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of something I’ve missed!!

Interesting request. Our LMS has a direct messages and homework features that allows students and instructors to communicate, but we don’t track tutoring hours.

That would be an interesting feature to include though.

Thank you for the reply. What LMS is that?

KnowVela LMS.

Here are some specific answer to your point list:

  1. Students can buy courses through our LMS but we don’t (currently) have the specific tutoring hours management features you are requesting.

2 and 3. We don’t currently have this feature.

  1. We have these features.

  2. We offer reporting on student activities (enrollments, grades, etc.) but I believe you are asking more specifically about tutoring hours/progress. We don’t currently have that feature.

  3. We have a workaround that could be used to help with this through our direct messaging and homework features. But it seems you need more targeted tutoring action plans, and that would have to be developed.

I’d like to defend u/TheresACityInMyMind I have been a lurker on here for a long time and it can be great when we give one another insights, but it sucks to be sold to. eLearning is a tough job and while we need products to help enhance it, the people matter and it would be nice for genuine discussion instead of feeling like asking a question means getting bombarded with ads.
