Everything in one place
Everything you need to run home education well
AltEd covers the whole journey — the plan, the week, the tutors and the money — for families and providers on one shared record. Here's the full picture.

Plan & record
Every lesson planned, every day on the record
Build the learning around each child — curricula, lessons, assignments and resources — so the plan is clear on Monday and the record is already written by Friday.
A guardian-managed profile for every learner — their details, their subjects, their work — so each child's education has a home of its own.
Read the guideSketch a curriculum per subject, break it into lessons, and always know what comes next. Structure when you want it, freedom when you don't.
Set work with a due date and watch it move from set to submitted to done — a quiet, running record of what was actually covered.
Keep the worksheets, links and materials you rely on in one organised library, attached to the lessons that use them.
Organise your week
One calendar the whole household can trust
Lessons, tutor sessions, group meet-ups and everything in between — on a shared calendar that repeats what repeats and shows who's meant to be where.
Shared calendar
One calendar across the family and every provider you work with, so the week is agreed once instead of negotiated daily.
Read the guideEvents with attendees
Invite the right students and adults to each event — everyone sees what involves them, and nothing involves guesswork.
Read the guideRecurring events
Weekly maths, fortnightly forest school, monthly co-op — set the pattern once and the calendar keeps itself up to date.
Read the guideAttendance you can point to
Sessions record who attended and what happened to absences, building the kind of consistent trail that reviews are made of.
Work with providers
Tutors and families, finally on the same page
Sessions that both sides confirm, absences handled with a proper approval flow, and a shared view of the learning — no more forwarding screenshots of screenshots.
Step 1
Tutoring sessions
Providers schedule sessions against a student; families see them on the shared calendar the moment they exist.Step 2
Two-sided confirmation
A session isn't 'done' because one side says so — both provider and family confirm, so the record (and the bill) reflects reality.Step 3
Absence handling & approval
Life happens. When a session is missed, an absence request goes to the other side for approval — fair to families, fair to tutors, written down for both.
Nothing is “done” because one side said so. Both confirm, and the record — and the bill — follow reality rather than memory.
Money without awkwardness
The money conversation, handled by the ledger
A proper provider↔family billing ledger — lesson pricing, charges, credits with approval and a full transaction history — so nobody has to have 'the chat' about what's owed.
Flat pricing, always
Providers pay £19 a month however much they bill. We never take a percentage of your revenue.
Lesson pricing
Providers set a price per lesson type once; every session charges itself correctly from then on.
Read the guideCharges & credits with approval
Charges accrue as sessions complete; credits — a goodwill gesture, a cancelled class — go through an approval step so both sides agree the balance.
Read the guideCard payments via Stripe
Families settle up by card, processed securely by Stripe. No bank-transfer references, no 'did you get it?' messages.
Read the guideA transaction history both sides see
Every charge, credit and payment in one running ledger visible to provider and family alike — the receipts write themselves.

What organised feels like
AltEd is shaped around how home-educating families and providers actually work together — here's what that looks like in an ordinary week.
“Our home ed week used to live across four apps and a kitchen notebook. Now the lessons, the tutor sessions and what we owe are all in one place — and I can actually see it.”
“Setting a lesson price once and letting the charges and credits sort themselves out means I never have the awkward money conversation with a family again.”
“When the local authority asked what we'd been covering, the answer was already written down — the plan, the work, the sessions, all of it.”
