    Why LessonLoop

    What sets LessonLoop apart from Teachworks

    AI-powered assistance

    LoopAssist answers questions about your schedule, students, and finances — and proposes actions you can confirm with one click.

    Built for UK music schools

    Native GBP, optional VAT, UK term calendars, and GDPR compliance — not an afterthought for international users.

    Faster, modern interface

    LessonLoop was built with modern web technology — responsive, fast, and designed for the way teachers work today.

    Practice tracking included

    Assign practice, track completion, and share progress with parents — features Teachworks doesn't offer.

    Grade & instrument tracking

    Track exam boards, grades, and multiple instruments per student with full history.

    GDPR-first data protection

    Designed for UK/EU data protection from the ground up, not adapted from North American privacy models.

    Why Switch

    Why teachers switch from Teachworks

    Real reasons music educators choose LessonLoop.

    No practice tracking

    Teachworks focuses on scheduling and billing but doesn't help teachers assign or monitor student practice.

    Feels complex to set up

    Teachers report that Teachworks has a steep learning curve. LessonLoop is designed to get you running in minutes.

    UK billing support is limited

    Teachworks was built for the North American market. UK term billing, VAT, and GBP aren't native.

    No AI features

    LessonLoop's LoopAssist gives you an intelligent assistant — Teachworks relies entirely on manual workflows.

    Export from Teachworks, import into LessonLoop — we'll help you every step of the way.
