How Do I Add a Parent?

Updated June 2025

Adding a parent is one of the first steps to getting started with Tutonomy if you're teaching a pupil who is under 16. Once a parent is in your system, you can schedule lessons for their child, send reminders, track payments, and communicate easily — all in one place and without breaching safeguarding requirements.
