FAQ

Clear answers. No fluff.

Is TutorLab a SaaS?

No. It’s a self-hosted WordPress plugin. Your data stays on your infrastructure.

What happens if I don’t renew the license?

The plugin continues to run in basic mode. You lose updates and support, and premium add-ons are disabled. Your data remains intact.

Do I need special hosting?

Any reliable WordPress hosting works. If you expect many concurrent students, a VPS is recommended.

Is it suitable for theory-heavy courses?

TutorLab is designed for hands-on learning (“learning by doing”). If your course is mainly passive video content, a traditional LMS may be more appropriate.

Do you offer customization or setup?

Yes. Custom implementations are available through the Enterprise plan or as a separate professional service.

Can I start with a small number of students?

Absolutely. The Base plan is designed specifically for small cohorts and pilot programs.

Make an informed decision

It’s not for everyone. And that’s intentional.

TutorLab works best when students are expected to actively work and practice. If you only need a place to upload videos and documents, a traditional LMS will likely be a better fit.

But if you want a structure that reduces dropout, makes feedback manageable, and turns courses into practical learning workflows, then it’s worth exploring further.

Method

From following to doing: a sequence that works over time

TutorLab is designed around a simple and robust dynamic: the student produces an output, receives feedback, improves, and progresses. This is where real competence is built.

🧩

Guided practice

Exercises designed as the core part of the learning path, not just "homework after the lesson". Every activity has a clear purpose.

🗂️

Structured feedback

Order and continuity: feedback isn’t scattered across multiple channels, but integrated into the student’s workflow.

📈

Real progression

Levels and unlocks as cognitive guidance, not gamification for its own sake.

FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY

Tools that support the method.

TutorLab applies solid principles (learning-by-doing, guided practice, iterative feedback) inside WordPress, without turning your course into a "technical" project. The student produces an output, receives structured feedback (human and, if you want, AI-assisted), improves it, and moves forward. The focus isn’t on watching, but on working.

Do you need specific integrations? Let’s discuss it during the call: we’ll evaluate compatibility and implementation time.

How it works

A simple workflow designed for practical learning.

No technical complexity, just method.

1

You design the path

Define phases and objectives. Students understand from the start what they are expected to produce.

2

You connect guided exercises

Every step leads to an output. Exercises are not “extras”: they are the core of the experience.

3

Students submit their work

Submissions make learning visible and measurable, removing uncertainty.

4

Feedback & AI

Human review enhanced by AI to provide fast and precise suggestions directly within the learning path.

The Killer Feature

Interactive Simulators: the real magic of TutorLab

Talking is not enough. Students need to "simulate". With the simulator builder integrated into TutorLab, instructors can create simulations for each scenario. Students can move sliders, upload creatives and test strategies in a safe environment before touching real budgets.

Example Web Marketing scenario:
📊

Ad Set Simulator

Budget, targeting, placements: learn by adjusting sliders and seeing the impact on simulated ROAS.

🎨

Creative Simulator

Upload images, test copy, and preview exactly how ads will appear on Facebook and Instagram.

💰

ROAS Simulator

Change variables and obtain realistic projections. Immediate feedback on strategic choices.

Operational flow

From design to progression

Five phases that make practical learning sustainable.

1

Design the path

Define phases, objectives, and what students must learn by doing.

2

Connect practical exercises

Each lesson leads to a concrete activity with clear submission criteria.

3

Students work

No passive consumption: students produce real outputs with guidance and context.

4

Provide structured feedback

Review, iteration, improvement: work becomes progression.

5

The path progresses

Levels and unlocks support learning without forced gamification.

Note: TutorLab does not add complexity. It organizes and makes sustainable what you already do when you truly teach.

TutorLab analytics dashboard

Data from internal TutorLab pilot courses. Results may vary depending on context.

The key insight

When a course stops being a content archive and becomes a structured workflow of practice → feedback → improvement student participation changes dramatically.
Before and after TutorLab

Not just the tool changes. Student behavior changes.

Before (typical model)

  • Lessons consumed as isolated content.
  • Exercises “optional” or disconnected from the path.
  • Fragmented feedback (email, chat, scattered notes).
  • Progress difficult to read and measure.
  • Students remain passive or inconsistent.

After (with TutorLab)

  • Structured and coherent learning paths.
  • Exercises are central and guided, producing real outputs.
  • Continuous, organized, and sustainable feedback.
  • Visible progression: what comes next and why.
  • Accountability: students produce, improve, and progress.

Who it’s built for

TutorLab is designed for educators who want real results

Teachers & Trainers

Less time on administration, more time with students. A complete teaching toolkit to manage classes and feedback.

Training Institutions

Higher completion rates (+45%) and integration with existing LMS platforms. Visible ROI and analytics to make data-driven decisions.

Clarity

Perfect for some. Not suitable for others.

It’s perfect if…

You teach practical skills (marketing, tech, professional fields, business).
You want students to produce real outputs, not just “follow along”.
You give feedback and want to make it sustainable, consistent, and trackable.
You work with small or medium classes and prioritize quality.

It’s not for you if…

You’re looking for a generic LMS with only a video catalog.
You want “automatic shortcuts” without practice and feedback.
You focus on mass training with minimal support.
Your course does not include exercises or real-world cases.

Method

Exercises + feedback, not just content.

Consistency

Progression and unlocks reduce drop-off.

Control

Self-hosted: your data and platform remain yours.

Scalability

Modular: start essential and grow.

The context

The problem isn’t the platform. It’s the model.

Many online courses are designed as repositories: videos, slides, and final quizzes. They work for distributing content, but not for building real skills.

Without a structured sequence of action → feedback → improvement, students tend to “follow along” without truly consolidating knowledge.

TutorLab was created to address this exact point by introducing an operational structure that guides real work, even when the instructor is not live.

Signals you probably recognize

Lessons are watched, but exercises remain incomplete.
Feedback is fragmented across email, chat, and scattered comments.
The quality depends too much on your constant presence.
It’s difficult to understand who is actually progressing.
The key factor:
adding more content doesn’t solve the problem. What’s needed is a structure that makes learning actually happen.
