The Platform

Everything an English school
actually runs on.

We didn't build a scheduling tool with extra features. We rebuilt the entire back office of running a language school — because we run them too.

LIVE TIMETABLE

One board, updating itself.

Every teacher, room and lesson on a single live grid. Drag a class and the schedule resolves around it. No double-booked rooms. Ever.

FEES & PAYMENTS

Automatic fee collection, every month.

LiveSchedule debits students automatically, issues payment statements and tracks credit balances — without anyone manually chasing a payment.

PAYROLL

From the register to the pay slip.

Mark attendance once. Teacher hours calculate automatically. Salary statements are generated and ready to issue — no spreadsheets, no recalculating.

REBOOKING

Cancellations that fix themselves.

A student drops at 9pm. LiveSchedule fills the seat, books the make-up, and notifies everyone — before you wake up.

MARKETING & CRM

Know where every student came from.

Map prospects, leads and students geographically. Track every campaign. Calculate cost of acquisition, lifetime value and length of stay — so you see which channels work and which to cut.

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Know when a student is about to leave — before they do.

LiveSchedule calculates student lifetime value and flags danger-zone patterns so you can act before a student walks out the door. Earnings statements are generated automatically, forming the basis of your P&L.

CURRICULUM & LESSON PLANNING

The next lesson, chosen for you.

LiveSchedule automatically selects the next stage of the curriculum for each student and generates weekly lesson plans. Teachers arrive prepared. Every time.

ONLINE & HYBRID

Built for Zoom, not bolted on.

Run online classes directly from your schedule. Students click to join. Attendance is marked. Everything stays in one place.

STUDENT PROGRESS & COMMUNICATION

A complete picture of every learner.

Student portfolios, homework, group and individual communication threads between teachers and students — all inside the platform.

PIPELINE MANAGEMENT

From enquiry to enrolled, in one view.

Follow every prospect from first contact → free trial → student. No leads fall through the gaps. No guesswork about where someone is in the funnel.

RESOURCES & MANUALS

Everything your team needs to run the school.

Teaching manuals, operations guides, a full resources library — all accessible inside LiveSchedule. New staff get up to speed faster.

OFFICE & TASK MANAGEMENT

Run your team like a software company.

Scheduled tasks, individual assignments, issue tracking and internal communications — the same tools a tech team uses, built for a school office.

Content integration

Your curriculum lives inside the platform.

Modern English publishes Happy Valley — one of the most widely used early childhood English courses in Japan — and operates bokoco, the digital library for young learners. For schools using ME Learning content, lessons appear automatically in your schedule and as homework for your students. The platform and the curriculum are built to work together.

We don't sell software
we wouldn't run our own schools on.

Modern English has operated English schools in Japan since 1998 — growing to 15 schools at peak, with franchisees across the country. We built LiveSchedule to manage the reality of running those schools: last-minute cancellations, part-time teacher schedules, monthly fee collection, curriculum tracking and the thousand small tasks that consume a school owner's week.

When LiveSchedule cut our own admin work by 80%, we opened it to schools that deserve the same.
