Online teaching has a "tool sprawl" problem — how are you solving it?

Over the past few weeks I've been talking to online tutors and teachers about

their weekly workflow, and one pattern stood out: most run their entire teaching

business across 4-6 disconnected tools.

A typical stack:

• Zoom for live lessons

• Google Classroom / Drive for materials

• A spreadsheet for payments & attendance

• A separate app (or nothing) for recordings

• WhatsApp / Telegram for parent comms

The teaching itself isn't the hard part — it's the glue work between tools. One

tutor told me she loses ~5 hours a week to admin that isn't teaching.

Curious what the PH community thinks:

• If you (or someone you know) teaches online, does this match your experience?

• Have you found a stack that actually works well together?

• Where would consolidation help most — payments, recordings, scheduling?

Genuinely trying to understand the space. Would love your take 🙏
