Reasons for Switching to Teach n Go

Pros

The simplicity makes the platform easy to set up and manage. The student management is logical and customer service is very responsive.

Cons

It would be nice to make reporting easier with the ability to customize more with the gradebook. As a US based user, the SMS features are limited and puchasing credits is a manual request.

Pros

We really like to clarity and intuitiveness of this platform. From the admin side, it includes all the essential features we need: calendar (for each teacher, for all teachers), attendance tracking, the possibility to email students, reward them, the possibility to attach worksheets to each lesson, etc.

Cons

Students usually don't receive invitations from the platform (we need to download the instruction in pdf and send it separately via email as Invite to the Portal button does not work). Learners have a lot of issues while logging in to Teach n Go. Once you delete Student's account and then, you need to create an account for the same student, we need to reach out to Teach n Go support to delete the previously stored data on the given email address to reactive the account.

Pros

What I appreciated most about Teach&Go is how quickly I could set up our entire school administration. In just a few days, I managed to organize everything, including the Quran lesson schedules and automated payments. Normally, these tasks take a lot of time, but the app made it incredibly easy and efficient. The ability to add new student forms directly on our website has also streamlined our waitlist management.

Cons

There’s honestly very little to dislike. If I had to mention something, it would be that I’d love to see even more customization options in reporting features. However, this is a minor detail given how comprehensive the app already is.

Pros

We love the front end of the system -- how smoothly we move from registration form>prospect>student>class creation>scheduling.
We are impressed with the ease of invoicing and payroll which has impacted our cash flow positively in getting invoices out earlier to our clients than in the past with another system.
We find the support team to be highly professional and very responsive.

Cons

There doesn't seem to be a universal grade book for the school at large: with universal settings for duration of marking periods' (semesters') start and end dates.
The online grade book is not as sophisticated as others we have used.

Pros

1.Very intuitive and user-friendly
2.Hubspot and Google Calendar integration are definitely a huge plus
3. Amazing customer support and their promptness with responding and providing solutions to any requests

Cons

1. Payment tabs everywhere (both general view and student/related contact view - since we are using a different form of payment, having that tab permanently displayed is a little disruptive (especially having to explain to parents to ignore/reiterate our payment policies). Would suggest possibility of selecting tabs.
2. Gold Stars/Red flags a little too visible on students view (can be a little discouraging to have that on such display every time they access their profile)

Pros

Essentially : Managing data. This si important to us as we work for the school district as a proven and trusted vendor. The data is used to show how we work with a student that is assigned to us. It justifies our work. The district depends on this information. TNG make sit easier.

Cons

As most schools have the teacher setting up the classes and managing student profiles. With us admins do this work. This leaves our teachers focused on teaching, not doing admin duties. Of course we are a horse of another color and TNG does not fully integrate with us......But they are learning.

Pros

It's pretty straight forward to set up and operate and seems to have all the functions you need to run your language school. We have received a lot of help from the support team and [sensitive content hidden] has been there for us whenever we needed him to answer a query.
Still not in full operation, so cannot comment more.

Cons

It took us quite a while to sort out the financial set up for Spanish DDs and it was a bit frustrating, but we are getting there and hope for a smooth run from now on.

Pros

Ease of use, and the ease of tracking students information.

Cons

Search bar sometimes takes a while to load

Pros

They’ve thought of everything to run your school! They have EXCELLENT customer service & super responsive immediately!

Cons

I wish clients could pay within the App. And I wish their mobile App version was more efficient especially when sending a receipt to a client the buttons overlap on my phone & I have to do finger gymnastics to get the receipt sent….

Pros

We liked the price and usability of the features. For the most part, the initial product was a decent match for what we needed to be able to do.

Cons

The reports are not very user friendly. For example, we'd love to have reports where we could easily see total number of hours attended, missed and cancelled for each client by week or month or semester, and it takes a lot of effort to translate that data into usable reports to update our records.

Pros

It's simple to use once you get going. The best thing is the customer support. [sensitive content hidden] has been really supportive and listens to how we need to use the product and makes changes to help us get the best out of Teach n Go.

Cons

Some of the things we thought we would be able to use, e.g. notifying parents with messages haven't been available but whenever we raise an issue, one of the team advise us how we can make this work in the future.

Pros

For context, we operate a private school with around 200 students taking various courses in different subjects and need to be able to manage classrooms, teachers, and students. We had tried several apps in the past but none of them really did everything we needed them to do or were hard to set up. We've only used Teach n Go for 3 months, but so far Teach n Go has far exceeded our expectations. The interface is well designed and intuitive and offers deep functionality in all the areas we needed with many customizable options. I love that there is a portal AND mobile app for students and teachers to access their classes!!! Above all, the customer service is extremely responsive and really cares about their customer's success with the platform. Thank you [sensitive content hidden]!

Cons

There are no real cons to the platform that I could find. There were a few features that were missing, such as a Zapier integration, but the dev team is already working with us to implement this.

Pros

It is simple to use and does almost everything that I need it to do

Cons

There are a few features that I would like to be added

Pros

It makes my job easier as a school manager. Parents love it.

Cons

Photos and videos need to be included in the lessons - it is a way for us to promote our business

Pros

Teach n Go is a great way to organize and display student and teacher profiles for our learning community. The calendar is simple to manage and lessons can be joined easily through the app. It wasn't hard to transition our 10 teachers and 30 students to use Teach N Go systems. The support team has been very responsive and helpful as we got set up!

Cons

We need more report options. Ideally, a box would pop up after each lesson asking the teacher to fill out a post-lesson report based on a template we create. There would be a way for the teachers to track which reports they still need to fill out through the app. Post-lesson reports, available to the parents, are common with online learning. Teach n Go is following a more standard approach to reporting, with attendance, report cards, etc. We need better options for continuous, grade-free reports that are observation based and given directly to parents.

Pros

I am thoroughly satisfied with Teach n Go and it came to Learning Legends at the perfect timing when we were scaling and improving our student management system and finding a solution of connecting students & teachers to lessons in the most easiest and efficient way. I really appreciate that there is a clear and simple student management system that can be shared with teachers easily so they can learn about their students. The classes and calendar are clear and easy to use to set up and manage, I can select individual calendars for both teachers and students which is extremely helpful. I appreciate that students can connect to Teach n Go with a simple username and password and they don't need to set up email accounts or deal with any complicated security formalities.The tech support for Teach n Go are incredible and we are so grateful and appreciate the support and willingness to work and improve their system based on our unique needs. Any issue or upgrade that we have needed that have been extremely responsive, quick and open to helping, and updating their system to meet our needs.

Cons

The features that would help my company to improve is a customizable reporting system & making student notes with a calendar feature & teacher selection feature, so we can choose the date of the note or chose the teacher who wrote the note. I would also appreciate more features for class management added to the calendar - timezone selection, canceling or making changes to future lessons, changing classroom link, changing the color of a single lesson. For the management of classes - To be able to add future lessons as multiple days and reoccurring lessons, instead of having to make a whole new class. A problem we have experienced that effects our classes and connecting students and teachers to classes on time, is when Zoom upgrades it can mess with the system. We have had to prepare an alternative solution when this happens.

Pros

Teach 'n Go is the most user-friendly and intuitive school management system for any learning institution of any size. Customer service is superb and they ALWAYS find a solution for any problem your institution might have. It's also very affordable and they're continuously adding new useful features. Great features, great service, unbeatably prices.

Cons

Collecting money from the students is a bit complicated to implement and integration with other platforms can be improved.

Pros

I love the intuitive design of Teach'n'Go. The UX is excellent, everything is thought out with the user in mind. The team are very empathetic and respond to our needs quickly.

Cons

Each time I go back small improvements have been made. We'd love to be able to control our cash till via T'n'G and maybe soon we will be able to.

Pros

I love that all the features are easy to use and understand, the feedback from [sensitive content hidden]
has been great and he has been helping me a lot along the way.

Cons

Some of the visual aspects of the platform could be improved (specially the app) and some of the features are still in need of some development, but people at teach n' go are working hard on it and it continues to improve each day.

Pros

Teach n Go has almost all features we were looking for in a school management system. I love that they are constantly developing the platform so they respond to our feedback very quickly and fix bugs very effectively.

Cons

We'd love to export Reports by class/course in pdf files, which include students' information, attendance, behaviors, grades, and comments, so we can send it straight to parents and students. Also, being able to convert an 'Ended' student back to a prospect would be helpful in enrolment processes.

Pros

The ease of use, the fast, personal attendance from the TeachnGo team, the willingness of the team who make it to make adjustments, the price.

Cons

Nothing. It does what it says it will do .. and it does it well and at an affordable price, with good service from their team.

Pros

It a very intuitive, visual and simple-to-use platform, which makes it very attractive all-round. The other plus of this platform is the customer support service. Whenever there is an issue or something that could be implemented to make the user experience with the platform better, help is provided quickly and efficiently. This has made our experience with Teach N' Go very smooth so far.

Cons

Some of the translations from English into the language we need for our clients are not correct, though this is being worked on.

Pros

Ease of use. Very useful in managing our classes and providing feedback which is a must in our business.

Cons

Not much. They are always improving their software. Probably the app UX but it’s basically the browser version.

Pros

It's very easy to use. It gives a good overall view of all the classes. It is very useful to be able to put documents on each student's profiles. It's also very easy to issue documents and receipts.

Cons

It would be great to create a functionality for host families. When a student has holidays scheduled and moved up to another level/class, the platform doesn't make the changes automatically and the student's attendance is then impacted.

Pros

-The one of the great things about TeachnGo is its ease of use. Having recently implemented teachngo into our language school, I have very little had to explain how to do anything to anyone. It is very intuitive and simple. You can access classes, students and teacher accounts and profile from lots of different areas which make it easy to navigate through.-Being able to have multiple teachers teaching different lessons from the same class. This is a feature that does not seem to be available in other software by design. - You are able to really customize the calendar view to see multiple students, teachers schedules at once.-The booking system. You are able to create private lesson bookings which fit around the already created classes. These students are able to book themselves from their student portals.

Cons

- More customisable analytics in the reports section.- The ability to set price by lesson rather than hour.

Pros

I like that this is a system that is flexible and can be used outside of a tradition K-12 setting.

I wish it was easier to robust reports from the system.

Pros

We are new to teach n go and have received great support from the team. It was easy to get started and import data over.

Cons

It would be great to have more customisation options as standard.

Reasons for Choosing Teach n Go

Reasons for Switching to Teach n Go

Pros

This is an amazing platform that we use every minute of every day what I like most is the calendar and the student database

Cons

If we could make some changes I would like the system to allow us to calendar a bit differently for example we do not calendar per week or per monthly calendar each class separately as we count each class separately and no platform is built for what we do

Pros

It has all the features that you could need to work in a school with students starting from admission to paying fees to grades until graduation and it includes lots of analysis that you could benefit from.

Cons

More dashboards could be an added advantage in this system.

Reasons for Switching to Teach n Go

Pros

Overview of which students are in class is good.

Cons

We would like more features such as planning multiple employees with good overview

Pros

User friendly, this means our teachers can use this without major problems. We love that we have everything in one same place.

Cons

We are missing some specifics on how we work in our academy, but Customer Support is always willing to help.

Pros

Teach n Go is very easy to use and is an invaluable tool for the management and running of our language centre. It's very simple to navigate and the tools and information are cleanly presented. The customer service is amazing.

Cons

The only downside is the need to have a secondary accounting system to use in conjunction with Teach n Go. It would be amazing if Teach n Go could offer an accounting system or double-entry bookkeeping, or have some kind of tie-in with a company like Xero or Quickbooks etc. Then it really would be everything under one roof. As it is though, it's still an excellent tool.

Pros

The ease of use and the simplicity of the set up was very appealing. The system is well tailored to larger and small educational facilities and allowed for quick updating of students parents and staff. Adding or amending people and courses was easily done and the fact we can store details of ex clients was also a top priority. We liked being able to have flexibility over privacy between staff and/or parents. The login process was simple and most clients used the system without difficulty - a bonus considering they are not mother tongue.

Cons

The billing section is the least intuitive aspect. The system does not allow for variations in pricing and changes person to person for cost vat or other sundries within the same course.
Additionally the software should be able to note that where a date has no entries for attendance or lack of ,that lesson should not be included in the number of hours taught. Often we keep the date to show a paid for holiday but with zero attendance. Perhaps that could be an option for us to choose.
With the surge in online lessons due to covid.19 we were sorry not to have an intergrated online teaching platform to use with TnG. It meant clients have 2 codes and having to access lesson material from this site after a lesson from a different site.
Finally not being able to have attachments in the email was another problem for us as we often send documents to clients.

Pros

Ease of use. Links across functions makes it easy to move around the system.
Visual presentation is very clear and well proportioned so as not to cause stress when using (e.g. text size, spacing, colouring). Gives professional appearance to the customer, I think.
Solutions available for most pricing regimes.
Easy to use Invoice/receipt system linked to bookings. Sounds obvious, but no chance of missed charges like some systems out there.
No glitches in the system, which is key to trust in the system management.
Handy system search and 'Add New' boxes in the page header.

Cons

Pages are sometimes a little slow to load.

Pros

Teach n Go has hugely helped me with organising the schedule at the beginning of the school year, communicating with my students and their parents all year round, and above all, keeping track of everything in a single platform.

Considering the covid restrictions and the online lessons, Teach n Go proved to be necessary. I really don't know what I would do without it.

I own a small business, but with Teach n Go, I earned the reputation of being highly professional and my institute has gained great popularity; parents and students are really satisfied with this portal because they get to see their homework, the schedule, the teacher's notes and their payments.

Another point to consider is the fact that I don't have to hire a receptionist or an accountant, because administrative work is done on Teach n Go easily and effectively. Also, I don't print receipts because parents can find them online on Teach n Go and they don't lose them. Not only is it environmentally friendly but also money-saving.

As far as the technical support is concerned, it is excellent. Whenever I needed them, they were eager to help me resolve the issue in no time.

Generally, it is an easy-to-use portal for everyone.

Cons

My students were used to writing their homework in their notebooks, so they thought it was difficult for them to find their homework on Teach n Go. Now, they got used to it. (Their parents love it precisely because they don't have excuses anymore. They have access to heir homework anytime and anywhere.)

Pros

The classroom management and the attendance of students are very important features during the corona pandemic, so we really appreciate these. We liked the ability to communicate over "Teacher's notes" important things for the teachers to know , being able to write the info to specific lessons of specific days. We also work a lot with the prospect list to create new classes . Starting my day and opening the dashboard I can find all the infos I need for all classes coming up and prospects who will attend. So I can focus on preparing what is needed to make them sign up. That is great and makes my life easier. If the issue with our company logo in the email would be solved I would also try to upload ducuments for the students, so that they could get it directly from the platform. That might be a great tool for us.

Cons

We don't use the feature of sending emails to the students over your platform, because it seems so difficult to add company logos and students might think the emails they get from us are spam emails.

Pros

The planification calendar is one of the most used and critical feature for us. It is very easy to create classes, add students, and modify almost everything (teacher, schedule...). As a language school its very visual to set colors to the classes.

Cons

The only negative thing is that when a class is already created, you cannot change the URL Link to the online class. I have to create a new class with same description, teachers and students and after that be careful I erase the correct one. I don't understand why there is not this option.

Pros

This app is really easy to use & within minutes can have it up & running. Customer service is TOP NOTCH! They respond to your enquiries really fast & are very helpful & polite every time.

Cons

Some features need updating. Like needing to go back to home page to access features rather than having those features readily accessible from whichever screen you are working on. Entering tel numbers of clients used to have a glitch that you needed to realize that no space is permitted, there should be a pop up screen informing user to avoid space between numbers instead.

Pros

What we find very useful is how transparent information is for both teachers and parents. We log notes/remarks/grades etc frequently and can easily refer back to them during parents' meetings or when taking over a group from a new teacher. I like the payment receipt system as we can send them by sms and we don't waste paper. Homework is put online and this is very helpful to parents if their children have missed a lesson.

Cons

I'm not keen on the outstanding payments system - I think reminders should be sent automatically to parents and this has caused some parents to delay several months in paying - and - I find it difficult to monitor. Also, if you unenrolled a student from a group and then changed them to another group outstanding payments show up in their account and some parents complain about that. It would be nice if the system could work out overall averages for groups - and if the uploading of powerpoint/keynote was more compatible with Apple.

Pros

Clear overview of the available functions.Software is well thought out and allows for easy workflow.

Cons

Payment feature is not fully set up yet.

Pros

We use Teach N Go for daily class management (lesson schedules, class notes, homework details) as well as payment records and invoicing. It is simple to use. Both the online desktop version and mobile app are available. The cost is reasonable. The payments overdue section is the lifesaver. An option to text students is there too and we use it frequently.

Cons

Out of the box Teach N Go appears to be designed for part-time classes and not for full-time courses or any classes with ongoing enrollment. Our school offers both part-time and full-time classes so several modifications had to be introduced, which took us more time than expected. Also some secondary features could be developed further.

Pros

The ease of the system is great. I find the whole integration of buttons with the interface to provide a great experience for student and teacher alike.

Cons

I would like a whole series of improvements. I find that very often students have long loading times when trying to sign in the system. I would have liked a custom grade book where I could upload all the new grades per lesson for each student. That would be a great time saver especially if it could find the average grade per student on a variety of specifications. It would also be great to implement a print whole schedule with the details of each lesson per class and all class lessons details together. Finally, it would be great if we had the ability to change the usernames of our students, not only their passwords.

Pros

it is very professional and it is affordable in price. it is very easy to join and create an account. But most of what I like and very much apriappreciate support I got from the Teach 'n Go team. I had a lot of questions from the beginning of using it and any time I wrote to the support team I immediately got the answer with detailed information and even screenshots and videos to understand better the system. Thank you very much! So professional and so responsible in what they are doing I definitively would recommend them to everyone!

Cons

everything is very good and the there is no even small default in the system

Pros

The support is amazing. When we needed additional features the support was very attentive and actually created it for us. There is aways someone to talk to.
The system is great and new features added all the time

Cons

The receipts are not enough in my country but this is also beening worked on

Pros

All great things: competitive pricing, creating groups, getting students to the platform, keeping track of attendance and most importantly having access to API to connect Teach n Go to our Power BI.

Cons

Our students don't use it as often as we would like them too. Perhaps it's our own fault but it's a bit tough to keep their interest. Perhaps the platform could think about introducing methods for admins to help us engage users more.

Pros

How easy payments are made and how effortless communication with parents has become

Cons

Customers sometimes have a hard time logging in

Pros

Scheduling the classes and tracking of attendance

Cons

Grades are not used, if email address is wrong there is no feedback that the email was not sent

Pros

The software is getting an overall 10/10 . I really like all the features! You need to try it!Above all is the best customer service ever. Immediate responses!

Cons

Nothing that is really important! I m sure admins can solve any problem !
