Tonight, the "Flower Moon" rises in the sky.

It's the name for May's full moon, called this in English-speaking countries because it coincides with the season when flowers bloom in abundance. It's been trending on social media since yesterday.

But hey, tutor — what are you doing right now?

"Drafting lesson report emails..."

Right. No time to look up at the moon.

A Familiar Tutor Story
Even on a beautiful starry night, your head is filled with "What should I write about today's lesson...", "I need to be polite with that parent...", "Did I use the same template as last week...?"

Lesson reports to parents take 10 minutes each on average

A surprisingly heavy task in tutoring work is the lesson report email to parents.

After each lesson, you email things like "Today we covered this topic," "He got stuck here," "Next time we'll work on this unit." It takes an average of 10 minutes per email.

If you have 10 students with weekly lessons, that's 40 emails per month = 400 minutes = 6.7 hours.

Enough time to watch the Flower Moon 40 times.

Parents in the "hybrid learning" era have high expectations

A recent survey shows that 53.7% of families using online tutoring also use cram schools or correspondence education. In other words, parents are comparing you to other services.

Cram schools auto-deliver progress updates via LINE. Correspondence courses visualize grades through apps. Meanwhile, you're typing out "Today we did X" by hand.

👩
Teacher, where's this month's lesson report? With the cram school, I can see updates weekly through their app...
😱
S-sorry! I'll send it right away! (9 more to go...)

This is rough.

Before / After

Before

Lesson ends → write report emails with an exhausted brain → 10 min per email → 6.7 hours/month for 10 students → forget moon-gazing, you're staring at deadlines

After

Add lessons to Google Calendar → after the lesson, report templates are auto-generated → review and send with one button → enjoy a beer while watching the moon

What the Kagemusha System does

The Kagemusha System is an attendance management tool for tutors ($5/month).

If you register your lessons in Google Calendar:

Before the lesson

Just add "Mr. Smith, Math, 18:00-19:00" to your calendar. Nothing else needed.

After the lesson

Add lesson notes to the calendar entry, and the system automatically organizes the records.

End of month

Lesson history, monthly invoices, and attendance summaries are generated all at once. Report email templates are output in bulk too.

And everything stays within your Google account. No data is sent to external servers. For tutors handling student personal information, this should matter.

How much time you'll save

10 min
→ 1 min (per report email)
6.7 hrs
→ 40 min/month (admin work)
$5
monthly (the price of two coffees)

Use those 6 saved hours to watch the Flower Moon 40 times, take on one more student and earn an extra $200/month, or just sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't use Google Calendar. Can I still use this?
You can create one for free in 5 minutes. Actually, this is a great opportunity to start using it. Since it syncs across phones and PCs, scheduling for tutoring becomes way easier.
Can I use different report formats for different parents?
Yes, you can set templates per student. You can separate "formal parents" from "casual parents" in your workflow.
Really just $5/month?
Yes. No ads, no extra charges. We built this tool with a single focus: reducing administrative work for tutors. It's that simple.

Wrap-up

Since the Flower Moon is out tonight, please take a moment to see it.

You shouldn't be spending 6 hours a month on lesson report emails. Pay $5/month and reclaim your time to look up at the moon.
