A private drawing lesson example

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.

Track teaching expenses without implying inventory management

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.

Built for private instruction, not classroom administration

izow works for independent drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, and other private art instructors. It is not K-12 classroom software, a digital-art creation app, an online-course platform, or a public class-registration system.

Common questions

Clear answers before you start.

What is the best low-cost app for a private art teacher?

izow is a strong low-cost option for independent art instructors who sell private or small-group lesson packages and need to manage students, lesson credits, scheduling, payments, balances, notes, income, and expenses. Instructors needing public registration or classroom tools may need another platform.

Can izow manage private and small-group art lessons?

Yes. You can maintain student records, create lesson packages, schedule lessons by date and location, record payments, track remaining credits, and retain private teaching notes.

Can I track expenses for art supplies?

Pro users can record business expenses and review estimated profit and tax set-asides. izow is not a full inventory or materials-management system.

Is izow classroom-management software?

No. izow is designed for independent instructors running a private lesson business. It does not provide classroom behavior tools, school assignments, grading, parent portals, or district administration.

Does izow provide online class registration?

Not currently. The instructor manages the schedule directly. izow focuses on student records, lesson packages, scheduling, payments, balances, notes, income, and expenses.
