May I suggest that you contact your institution's computer science department? You should be able to find a student (grad or undergrad) who must do a practicum for one of his/her classes. This student could create your program for you; you would simply need to write down exactly what you want from the database (types of reports, information needed, etc.) and the student would do it for you...free of charge. You would have a database customized to do exactly what you wanted it to do. The tutor databases that are currently for sale might not meet your needs. Just a suggestion.
