How to Choose an LMS for Your Tutoring Business

The right learning platform can free a tutor to focus on teaching while the software handles recordings, materials, and student progress. The wrong one adds busywork. Here's what to evaluate before you commit.

1. Who owns the data?

Your recordings and student records are the heart of your business. Prefer platforms that store recordings in storage you control, such as your own Google Drive, rather than locking them inside a vendor's database.

2. Does it actually use AI, or just claim to?

• Automatic transcription of every class.
• Summaries, quizzes, and revision materials generated from real lessons.
• A tutor-style AI that answers from the student's own learning history.

3. Multi-student management

As you grow, you need to add students, schedule classes, target specific learners, and track individual progress without friction. Look for clear admin tooling and per-student visibility.

4. Pricing that scales with you

Avoid platforms that charge per gigabyte of storage. Because LearnVault stores recordings in your own Drive, storage is never a billing line item, you pay for AI usage and seats, not for keeping your own files.

5. Privacy and isolation

If you handle multiple cohorts or organisations, strict tenant isolation matters. Each organisation's data should be completely separate, with its own private portal on its own subdomain.
