Studiqo is a tutor management platform designed to help private tutors organise students, lessons, homework, and day to day admin in one place.
A focused platform for running the business side of private tutoring.
Studiqo is a fullstack application built to solve the real operational problems private tutors deal with every week. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, calendars, notes apps, and messages, tutors can use a single platform to manage their workflow.
The platform is being developed with a clear MVP focus around:
- student management
- lesson scheduling
- lesson notes
- homework tracking
- tutor dashboard workflows
This repository is a monorepo containing Studiqo applications and shared packages.

Frontend repository: now in apps/web
Live demo: TODO
API docs: OpenAPI 3.1 spec at apps/api/docs/openapi/openapi.yaml (served path prefix /api/v1).
The goal is to build a tool that genuinely helps private tutors manage the admin side of their work. A tutor’s job is not just teaching, it also involves tracking students, planning lessons, setting homework, writing notes, following up on progress, and staying organised across a busy weekly schedule.
This project exists to reduce that friction.
From a development point of view, Studiqo is also being built to demonstrate:
- backend API design
- modular Express architecture
- authentication and authorization
- relational data modelling
- validation and error handling
- testing strategy
- product focused software development
Install dependencies:
npm installRun the API in development:
npm run dev:apiRun the web app in development:
npm run dev:webThe current backend is being built around the following modules:
- authentication
- users
- students
- lessons
- lesson notes
- homework
- dashboard
The MVP is intended to allow a tutor to:
- create and manage student profiles
- schedule and track lessons
- record lesson notes
- assign and monitor homework
- view upcoming work from a dashboard

OpenAPI: apps/api/docs/openapi/openapi.yaml. Validate with npm run docs:lint. Preview in the browser with npm run docs:preview (uses apps/api/redocly.yaml; default port 4000). To emit a static HTML file: npx redocly build-docs apps/api/docs/openapi/openapi.yaml -o api-docs.html. For the frontend, point openapi-typescript or Orval at that file (or a hosted copy) to generate types or clients.
