Does Lesson Diary collect payments from my pupils?

No. Lesson Diary is a record of who has paid and who owes you — the money goes to you directly, however you already take it. There is no payment gateway and no percentage.

Can I see everyone who owes me at once?

Yes. Outstanding lesson money is totalled for you so you can chase it before it adds up.

Will this help at tax time?

Yes. Export your lessons and payments to CSV for your Self Assessment, and use the free tax calculator to estimate the bill.

The spreadsheet, without the spreadsheet

Most instructors track payments in a notebook or a spreadsheet that is always slightly out of date. Lesson Diary keeps the record next to the lesson, so who owes you what is never a guess.

Paid or owed, per lesson

Mark each lesson as you go. Cash, card or bank transfer — the record is yours to keep.

Who owes you, at a glance

A running total of outstanding lesson money, so nothing quietly slips through.

Export for your accounts

Pull your pupils, lessons and payments out to CSV whenever your books or your accountant need them.

No cut, ever

Lesson Diary does not process pupil payments and takes no percentage. You keep 100% of what pupils pay you.

Watch payment tracking in action

Mark a lesson paid, see who owes you, and check what you have been paid. Bank transfer is picked for you.

How payment tracking compares

Some apps take 1.5%–1.9% of any lesson money run through them. See how a flat fee compares against Total Drive, GoRoadie, DriveSchoolPro, MyDriveTime and Passly.
