New Features and Add-Ons in 2025
Throughout 2025, we introduced a range of features and add-ons designed to give teams more control, flexibility, and automation. Below are some of the most significant updates from the year.
- 2-Way Sync for Google Calendar Add-On (Pro): This add-on allows staff and teachers to connect Teachworks directly with Google Calendar. Events created or updated in either system synchronize automatically, providing a real-time view of schedules and eliminating duplicate entries.
- Announcements Add-On: Easily share internal updates with teachers and staff. Messages appear directly on the Dashboard and Calendar, ensuring important information is seen without relying on external communication tools.
- Merge Profiles Add-On: Keep your data clean by combining duplicate family, student, and employee profiles. Administrators can choose which information to keep, reducing errors in scheduling, payroll, and reporting.
- Third Party Billing Add-On (Pro): Supports flexible billing for agencies, organizations, or sponsors. Payments can be made on behalf of families or independent students, simplifying complex billing arrangements.
Add-Ons Made Available to Everyone
In addition to the updates above, several powerful add-ons that were previously in early access were made available to all customers in 2025. These include:
- 2-Factor Authentication (2FA): Add extra protection with a secure six-digit login code.
- Student Auto Inactive: Automatically mark students inactive when they no longer have upcoming lessons.
- Future Invoice Charges: Add charges ahead of time and include them automatically on future invoices.
- UK Split Invoice Payments: Designed for UK compliance, this add-on separates tutor fees so clients can pay tutors directly while your company collects only its portion.
- Bulk Enable User Accounts: Quickly activate accounts for families and students in bulk, supporting faster onboarding.
- Profile Wage Fallback: A flexible payroll option that uses the service wage when available or defaults to the employee’s profile wage.
- Custom Lesson Emails: Send tailored lesson notifications using custom templates, including for recurring lessons.
- Invoice AutoPay: Automate recurring payments to improve cash flow and reduce manual follow-up.
Each of these updates was shaped by customer feedback and real-world workflows.

In 2025, we also introduced the Teachworks Support Agent, an AI-powered assistant designed to help users find answers efficiently.
Trained using our help documentation and real support scenarios, the Support Agent continues to improve as new information is added. It works alongside our support team to provide guidance for common questions and everyday tasks, making help more accessible when it is needed.
