Book a demo. URL: https://halqora.com/ Halqora is web-based management software from Talt AI for online academies and tutoring businesses that teach live one-to-one classes across time zones: language schools, music teachers, school tutoring and test prep, coding, and Quran and Arabic academies. A class is recorded once, and its outcome drives the family's invoice, the teacher's pay and the reliability numbers. ## What you can do On the home page, Halqora is presented as the all-in-one operating system for an online academy. In one place an academy can: - Schedule classes - Teach in the built-in classroom - Observe classes quietly - Know who joined, with WhatsApp alerts when a teacher or student joins or has not joined - Bill families and get paid - Remind families on WhatsApp about invoices, and send an after-class report - Pay teachers - Track reliability ## What you can drop Halqora runs the class itself, so an academy can drop the tools it pays for or does by hand today, all in one price (the Academy plan, USD 2.50 per active student a month, USD 99 minimum). - **Instead of Zoom or Google Meet:** the built-in classroom, with video, screen share, whiteboard and shared PDF books. Admins can also join a class as a hidden observer; the teacher and students are not told, and observation covers participants whose consent is set. Halqora also sends WhatsApp alerts when a teacher or student joins or has not joined, and an after-class report to the family. - **Instead of your invoicing tool:** invoices drafted every month for the admin to approve, a public pay page, and PayPal, Stripe, Wise and Mercury payments matched to invoices. - **Instead of chasing families on WhatsApp:** automatic overdue-payment reminders by WhatsApp and email, which stop when the invoice is paid. ## What it does ### Schedule - **Recurring time-zone schedules.** Daylight saving handled. - **Calendar for admins and teachers.** Day, week, month and agenda. - **One-to-one classes.** Regular, trial and makeup.

No. Every student gets a private link to join class and a public invoice page to see what is due and how to pay. No app to install and no password to remember. Your teachers and admin team sign in; families never have to. ### Can we keep Google Meet? Yes. Each schedule can use the Halqora classroom or a Google Meet link, so you can move teacher by teacher or class by class. Students use the same personal join link either way, and the class outcome still drives billing and payroll. ### Can we import our data? Yes, and it is free. We import your students, teachers, recurring schedules and open balances from your spreadsheets as part of onboarding, then run a 14-day pilot alongside what you use today. ### Do you send WhatsApp messages? Yes. From your academy's own WhatsApp number, which you pair in settings, Halqora sends invoice messages and payment follow-ups, alerts to your admins when a teacher or student joins a class or has not joined 5 minutes after the start (you set the time), and, if you want it, an after-class report to the family with the subject, teacher, date, scheduled and actual minutes and the teacher's note. The number sends up to 50 messages a day. Each kind of message can be switched on or off for your academy and its wording edited. Email carries the same invoice reminders, so a WhatsApp problem never blocks an invoice. Halqora does not send class reminders before a class, and attendance is still marked by your team. ### How long is the contract? There is no long lock-in. Starter and Academy are month-to-month, or annual if you want two months free. Scale plans are agreed with you. Every academy starts with a 14-day pilot and free onboarding. ## More - [Product overview](https://halqora.com/product.md) - [Pricing](https://halqora.com/pricing.md) - [Comparisons](https://halqora.com/compare.md) - [Book a demo](https://halqora.com/book-a-demo)
