Session notes and progress reports

After each lesson, the tutor writes a few notes. Pillar turns them into a short summary for the parent, and from time to time you can send a fuller progress report built from the student’s recent sessions and homework.

Write notes after a lesson

Where: Scheduling › Sessions › the session

1. Open the session. If it is not marked done yet, click Mark completed, confirm, then click Add notes.
2. Under Session notes, write the Tutor notes: what you covered, how it went, what was hard.
3. Choose the Student rating and write the Next session focus.
4. Click Save notes.

Check the summary the parent gets

Where: the session page › AI summary for the parent

1. After you save notes, Pillar writes a warm two or three sentence summary for the parent, in the family’s language.
2. Read it under AI summary for the parent.
3. If your notes changed, click Regenerate for a new version (or Generate if there is none yet).
4. To email a corrected summary to the parent, click Send to parent.
