We built a custom learning management system that brought student portals, parent dashboards, assignment tracking, grading, and enquiry management into one place. It replaced 5+ separate tools and cut admin time by 60%.
Learn With Lorna is an online GCSE tutoring business. Plenty of demand, but the behind-the-scenes was a mess. Assignments went out by email. Progress was tracked in spreadsheets. Parent updates happened over WhatsApp. Enquiries came through a basic form with no proper follow-up. Every week, hours were lost to admin that didn't actually help anyone learn.
They looked at off-the-shelf learning platforms, but those are built for big institutions. Expensive (£200+/month), packed with features they didn't need, and really rigid. What they actually needed was something simple: students log in and see their work, parents check progress, and the team manages everything from one place. Without paying for software that was designed for someone ten times their size.
We built a single platform that handles everything. A proper website to attract new students, a student portal for accessing and submitting work, a parent dashboard for tracking progress, and an admin panel for running the whole operation. Think of it as a custom version of what Google Classroom or TutorCruncher try to do, but built specifically for this business. No monthly fees. No features they don't need.
We built a professional website with SEO baked in, testimonials front and centre, clear descriptions of each service, and an enquiry form that feeds straight into the management dashboard. Every new lead gets captured and tracked automatically. No one has to copy anything into a spreadsheet.
Each student gets a secure login where they can see their assignments, submit work, check grades, and read feedback. All the updates that used to require manual emails and WhatsApp messages are now just there. Fewer questions coming in, more time for actual teaching.
Parents get their own dashboard showing grades, outstanding work, and submission history in real time. No phone calls, no chasing. If they've got more than one child on the platform, they see everything from one login.
Creating assignments, sending them out, reviewing submissions, grading, managing students, handling enquiries. It all runs from one admin dashboard. No more spreadsheets, no email chains, no third-party platforms.
Admin time dropped by 60%. All those hours spent emailing assignments, updating spreadsheets, and chasing parents for responses? Gone. Students log in, see their work, submit it, and get feedback. Parents check progress whenever they want without asking. The team runs assignments, grading, users, and enquiries from one dashboard. Over £200/month in platform fees disappeared because the business owns its system outright now. And the website ranks for 22+ local service areas on Google, which means new enquiries come in on their own. That pipeline didn't exist before.
