Online catalog and class bookings for tutors.
A tutoring business sells time, expertise, and outcomes. WhatsMenu gives you a structured course catalog with package pricing, tutor profiles, a booking page where parents take a seat in your Saturday preview class, and online checkout — built for tutors, training centres, and educational service providers who don't want to build a custom platform.
Where tutoring businesses get stuck online
Five frictions specific to running a tutoring or education service.
Course pricing scales by package, not per-session
A 10-session package is RM 1,500. A 20-session package is RM 2,800 (better value). Without a structured catalog, every prospect asks "what's the price?" and you reply with a package list.
Tutor expertise that's the actual product
Parents want to know the tutor's background — degree, teaching years, results, languages. Without profile pages, this lives in a PDF you email or paste in chat.
Course materials and curriculum scope
A "PMR Maths Mastery" course covers algebra, geometry, statistics. A "Beginner English" course covers grammar, vocabulary, conversation. Without a clear page per course, every enquiry asks "what does this cover?"
Vouchers and gift cards for parents/grandparents
Parents want to gift tuition. Grandparents want to fund a few sessions for their grandchild. Without structured voucher products, you handle every gift sale via custom invoice.
Preview classes booked by hand, one WhatsApp at a time
A free Saturday trial class seats twelve. Parents message to ask if there is room; you count heads in a notebook, reply one by one, and still end up with fifteen children or an empty room.
How WhatsMenu fits a tutoring business
Five features matched to education service operations.
Custom pages structure each course with curriculum and outcomes
Per course: title, description, who it's for (PMR / SPM / college prep), what it covers (curriculum), what students achieve. Visible upfront; prospects self-qualify.
Learn more →Digital vCard for each tutor
Per tutor: photo, qualifications, teaching experience, subject expertise, sample student outcomes. Builds the trust that closes high-ticket course bookings.
Learn more →Tiered packages with clear value comparison
10-session package RM 1,500. 20-session package RM 2,800. 30-session RM 3,800. List each package as its own product priced as a unit — parents see all three side-by-side and pick the tier that fits. (For mix-and-match selections like "any 5 from Specialist subjects at RM 800", use the Bundles rule on a category instead.)
Learn more →Parents book a seat in your preview class themselves
Set a class to run at fixed weekly times — Saturday 10:00, twelve seats — and parents see only the dates it runs, with the seats left on each. One booking can take two seats so a parent signs up both children, you ask for the child's name and school standard as they book, and the roster is ready before Saturday. Skip school-holiday dates in one click. Teaching online? Add your Zoom or Meet link and every confirmed parent gets a Join button.
Learn more →Coupons handle introductory offers and referral discounts
First-session-free coupon for new students. Refer-a-friend 20% off. Family discount for siblings. Configurable; the cart enforces logic at checkout.

- Parent browses the courses page. Custom Pages structure each course with curriculum, who-it's-for, and outcomes. Parents self-qualify before enquiring — receptionist time saved.
- They check the tutor's profile. Digital vCard surfaces qualifications (PhD Maths from NUS), teaching experience (15 years), sample outcomes (89% A1 conversion rate). Builds the trust that closes high-ticket course bookings.
- She books two seats in Saturday's preview class. Scheduled sessions show each weekly class time with the seats left. One booking takes two seats for two children, your booking questions collect each child's name and school standard, and the roster is ready before the class.
- The class converts; she buys the package online. 10/20/30-session packages each listed at its own price — value comparison visible at a glance. Payment via your gateway (Stripe / FPX / regional). Full upfront for packages; pay-as-you-go optional for individual top-up sessions.
- Term progresses; outcomes follow. Twelve weeks later, son scores A in PMR Maths. Parent buys another package — referral coupon scoped for the younger daughter applies a discount automatically.
- Reviews close the trust loop for the next parent. Registered customers leave reviews on their order page once the package is closed. Reviews land in your dashboard tied to the original booking — surface them in social posts and tutor profiles. Switch on storefront display and your rating and recent reviews appear below your catalogue.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell course packages with tiered pricing (10 / 20 / 30 sessions)?
Yes. List each package as its own product at its package price (e.g. "10-session package RM 1,500", "20-session RM 2,800"). Customers see all tiers side-by-side, pick the one that fits, and pay online through your gateway (Stripe, FPX, and the rest). For mix-and-match selections (e.g. "any 5 from Specialist subjects at RM 800"), use Bundles on a category instead — that's where Bundles' "min/max items at a flat price" rule shines.
Can I show tutor profiles with credentials?
Yes. Digital vCard creates a profile page per tutor with photo, qualifications, experience, sample outcomes. Link from each course page to the tutor who teaches it.
Can parents book a seat in a trial or preview class?
Yes. Set the class to Scheduled sessions and add its weekly start times with the number of seats each takes — Saturday 10:00, twelve seats. Parents see only the dates it runs, each showing the seats left, and a full one stays visible as "Fully booked" rather than disappearing. Allow more than one seat per booking so a parent signs up two children at once, name the picker whatever fits ("Number of children"), and block the school-holiday dates you skip. Class seats are counted separately from your one-to-one tutoring slots, so a preview class never eats into them.
Can I sell gift vouchers for tuition?
WhatsMenu doesn't have a native gift-card system that auto-generates redeemable codes today. Practical workarounds: (a) sell a "Gift voucher RM 100/500/1000" item, charge the buyer, then manually email or WhatsApp a single-use Coupon code to the recipient that they apply at their next checkout; or (b) skip the voucher product and use referral / discount coupons directly. Native gift cards with auto-issued codes is on the wish list — let us know if it's a must-have.
Can I run referral discounts and family-package discounts?
Yes. Coupons support percentage-off codes; you can scope them to specific products or run sitewide. Referral codes can be customer-specific (one-time use) or generic (reusable).
How does pricing work for a tutoring centre using WhatsMenu?
Flat monthly subscription. No per-booking or per-payment fee, however many class seats you fill. Payment-gateway fee on online charges only (e.g. Stripe ~2.9%). Cheaper than building a custom education platform.
