Hi Pat,
Please accept my belated thanks for responding to my LRNASST post regarding
tutor management software for a support program where all tutoring is done
by individual tutors in a location of the tutor and tutee's choosing,
rather than in a tutoring center.
We had initially been leaning toward TutorTrac but have grown concerned at
the slow response - or total lack of response - to our technical inquiries.
We then contacted Accudemia but the sales representative was kind enough to
tell us that the software was not designed to address the needs of a
program model such as ours and he referred us back to TutorTrac - so our
search continues!
Thanks once more for responding to my posting. Best wishes!
Sincerely,
Janet
