Business management for independent art instructors
Reviewed and updated
Short answer
izow helps independent art instructors import student contacts, approve public appointment requests, schedule private or small-group lessons, track flexible packages, choose manual, Stripe, or Square payments, and manage notes and finances.
Student records
Use student and lesson wording throughout izow, while keeping private notes, open balances, scheduling, and package history connected.
Keep lesson credits and payment balances connected to each student instead of comparing spreadsheets, texts, calendars, and payment apps.
Olivia purchases a 6-lesson private drawing package at $60 per lesson. She pays $180 through Zelle. After 2 completed lessons, izow shows 4 lessons remaining and a $180 open balance.
Pro users can record supplies, studio rent, travel, and other business expenses and compare them with lesson income. izow is not an inventory or materials-management system and does not assign supplies to individual students.
izow works for independent drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, and other private art instructors. It includes coach-approved appointment requests, but it is not K-12 classroom software, a digital-art creation app, an online-course platform, or a public class-registration marketplace.
