New August, New Updates, New Look

Exciting news! Our latest updates are designed to make your experience with TutorBird even better, with improvements to our icons, our cancellation policy options, and the ability to build a website using our website builder while a website built with our old website builder is still live! Check out the new features and enhancements that will help you stay organized and efficient.

Student Management

  • In the Group Tags tab, you now have the option to toggle the ‘Color’ column on & off
  • The ‘Next Lesson’ column on the Student page will no longer show lessons that are either cancelled or lessons where the student has already been marked absent
  • We fixed an issue which was causing error messages to persist when trying to add a new student, cancelling the process and then trying again
  • We fixed an issue that was preventing backwards navigation after editing a student’s attendance
  • When a parent edits their child’s information (in the parent portal), the new info will now show immediately instead of after the page is refreshed

Calendar & Attendance

  • After marking a student as absent, the notice that pops up asking if you’d like to convert the lesson to an open slot will now also give the option to require a make-up credit for that slot
  • When scheduling two Lessonspace lessons at the same time (with different tutors), TutorBird will no longer provide a conflict warning

Families & Invoices

  • We improved the mobile experience of our Families & Invoices page – switching between the Accounts and the Invoices tabs no longer auto-scroll you to the top of the page
  • We fixed an issue that was causing an invoice to be redownloaded upon refreshing the page
  • In the family account, clicking on the family name drop-down in the top left and typing a letter would jump you to that place in the alphabetical list – we fixed an issue that was temporarily causing this to not function correctly

Website Builder

  • Introducing website transitional mode: If you built a website using the old website builder, you can now keep your original website live while you work on your new one!
  • You can now adjust the position of images within the website builder (no more heads getting chopped off)
  • We improved the mobile experience of websites built with the Website Builder, so that uploaded images will keep the same aspect ratio across all devices
  • We fixed an issue that was preventing stock images from being uploaded to the website builder while the uploaded image gallery was empty

Business Settings

  • We have updated & redesigned our Policies tab (in Business Settings), including the option to convert cancelled lessons into open lesson slots instead of just make-up required slots
  • We fixed an issue that was preventing some file types from being uploaded as profile pictures & logos

General/Other

  • We’ve updated the look of the icons in the main menu (don’t worry, all the pages are still the same!)
  • We fixed an issue that was temporarily not allowing PDF files to be uploaded when adding an expense or other revenue from an image
  • We updated the wording that appears when a new login is detected, including a reminder about our 2FA feature
  • We fixed an issue that would occasionally prevent the side menu from closing properly on mobile devices
  • We fixed an issue that was causing iOS devices to claim that SMS messages could not be sent, even when successful
  • Various cosmetic tweaks throughout
