What it does
Turns a tutor's notes about a student into a week-by-week study plan the student and parent can follow. It fits the plan to the dates, the time the student actually has, and the tutor's own judgment about where to focus.
Use it when: Use when a tutoring business needs to turn a student's goals, upcoming tests, and weekly availability into a written study plan, such as: write a study plan, make a schedule for this student, plan out the weeks before the exam.
