Feature Ideas

I believe having a chat feature would be super useful, so whenever a teacher or student needs to be reached out urgently, we can easily connect. Especially for teachers, it'd be great, so we can see who's online in the portal and reach out, etc.

We have an issue ensuring parents / guardians have read their child's report at the end of each term - it seems so many do not, and we are in year 4 of using Teach n Go. It would be great if there was a check box for a parent to click OBLIGATORILY before leaving the report page that we could then filter for to see which reports have not been read. An alternative would be to ask all parents to obligatorily download the report and run the filter that way. Thanks for your consideration.

It would be useful to add an out of class/toilet use button on the main register next to a student's name when a student has left the classroom with a timer so we can check if a child has been out of lesson for too long. Teachers can then easily deselect the button once a child has returned and if a child has been out of class for too long it alerts teachers to take action and check on the pupil.

SMS communication is expensive for the students and dated, while WhatsApp is free. Students can authorized channel.

The ability to build a custom report/export

WE would like to build a class report on TnG, we want to have a report that includes attendance, notes per student, grades, etc. And we would to send it to certain people within TnG via email.

It would be great as administrators, when helping teachers or students, to be able to see what they seen. It is relatively frequent that we have teacher or students say they can-not see certain things in the system. It would be great if an Administrator account could switch to Teacher A's view and check it for them.

Similar to the function used in Arlo platform. You can search for potential duplicates and merge the records together. It allows you to overwrite data from one with the relevant data from the other and where there is additional information in one and not the other, that will be retained

Teacher Communication

For example, I'd like to see all classes for children age 10 in our Berlin branch. It would be great to filter for several options to get all the class options available for student.

The default "Most relevant" doesn't do a good job of predicting what's most relevant. For example, we have classes that last several hours and attendance is taken every 60 minutes or so. So if class starts at 4:00, then we have a check in time at 4:00, and then one at 5:00 or so and another at 6:00 or so, etc. But if a teacher doesn't take attendance until 4:15, the 4:00 lesson isn't visible in the default "most relevant," causing confusion and frustration for the teachers and students. Please consider that the most relevant includes the current time, not just future times.

I would like to suggest an improvement to the Teacher Pay feature in Teach ’n Go. It would be very useful if we could import teacher payment records using an Excel or CSV file, or alternatively, manually enter payment amounts for each teacher. For example, I would like to be able to: Upload an Excel file containing teacher names, payment dates, amounts paid, and payment descriptions. Automatically match imported payments to the corresponding teachers. Manually record payments for individual teachers, even when the amount is not calculated automatically by Teach ’n Go. View each teacher's payment history, including total amounts paid and any outstanding balances. Record partial payments, advances, bonuses, or other adjustments. In our institute, teachers have different payment arrangements. Some are paid hourly, others receive a fixed monthly salary, and some are paid based on a percentage of the tuition fees actually collected. Therefore, having the flexibility to record actual teacher payments independently of the automatic payroll calculations would be extremely helpful. Ideally, all these payments would appear in the Teacher Pay section, allowing us to maintain a complete and accurate payment history for each teacher. I believe this feature would be valuable for many schools that use different teacher payment structures. Is something like this already possible, or could it be considered for a future update? Thank you for your continued support!

Self explanatory, when importing photos for 450+ students and staff one by one is just not going to happen!

Dear Teach ’n Go Team, I would like to request an improvement to the Category field in Expense Details. Could you add a dropdown menu for selecting an expense category, followed by a second dropdown showing the subcategories belonging to the selected category? I would also like to be able to add, edit, and manage our own categories and subcategories to suit our institute’s needs. For example: Utilities: Electricity, Water, Telephone & Internet Educational Materials: Books, Printing & Stationery Staff Costs: Salaries, Employer Contributions This would make recording and organising our expenses much easier and more consistent.

I’d like to suggest a new feature for TeachnGo: an automated class cancellation and rescheduling workflow. From an administrative perspective, one of the most time-consuming and frustrating tasks is managing class changes. The back-and-forth communication between parents, instructors, and administrators to confirm cancellations or arrange alternative times takes up a significant amount of time, especially when multiple classes need to be adjusted. My suggestion is to build a self-service cancellation and rescheduling system directly into TeachnGo. Here’s how I envision it working: Customizable cancellation policies: The school can configure its own cancellation rules, such as requiring at least 24 hours’ notice for a cancellation or rescheduling request to avoid charges. Requests submitted outside the permitted window would follow the school’s existing cancellation policy.Student/parent self-service: Parents or students can log into TeachnGo, select an upcoming class, and choose whether they want to cancel or reschedule it, without having to contact the administration separately.Approval workflow: The request is sent directly to the instructor or administrator for approval. For rescheduling, the requester could suggest an alternative time, and the instructor or administrator could approve or propose another available slot. Automatic notifications and schedule updates: Once a request is approved, TeachnGo automatically notifies the relevant parties and updates the class schedule. The system should also retain a record of the request, approval, and any applicable charges or credits. Policy-based automation: Ideally, requests that meet the school's predefined rules could be processed automatically where appropriate, while exceptions would be routed for manual approval. The main goal is to reduce administrative workload and keep the entire process within TeachnGo, rather than relying on separate communication platforms to coordinate every class change. I believe this would be a valuable feature for tutoring institutions like ours, where schedules frequently change and each adjustment can involve several rounds of communication. It would make TeachnGo more efficient for administrators, more convenient for parents, and easier for instructors to manage their schedules.
