Toora for figure skating coaches
Toora is an assistant for figure skating coaches. Tell it your private lessons and group classes in plain words, mark who came after each session, and it builds each student's monthly invoice from your own rates, test fees included. Families get reminders and session changes by email.
How Toora fits a skating coach's week
- 1
Bring the schedule you already keep.
Send Toora a photo of your whiteboard, a spreadsheet, a PDF or pasted text. It proposes your students, rates and sessions, and saves nothing until you confirm. Imported sessions come in as one-off sessions, so book your regular weekly lessons as recurring sessions.
- 2
Book lessons around your ice time.
Say "Maya every Tuesday at 6am" and Toora repeats it every week or every other week until you end it. In chat you can space a recurring session up to eight weeks apart. Cancel one week for a competition, or change the day or time from any week onward. Before it books or moves a session, Toora checks that day for a clash.
- 3
Run group classes by name.
Make a group once, like a Saturday basic skills class or a freestyle group, and book it by name. Everyone in the group is on the session. After class, tick off who came, or tell Toora "everyone but Sam came".

Bill privates, semi-privates and test fees together.
An hourly rate prices a private lesson by its length. A semi-private splits evenly between the students on it, each priced from their own rate. A flat rate charges each student in a group class the full amount. Add a test fee to one student, and it lands on their invoice for the month it is dated.

Keep families informed by email.
Families get a reminder the day before each session and a notice when one is added, moved or cancelled. Message one family or all of them, and email each invoice when you are ready to send it.

Coach for a program, or with other coaches.
A program can enroll students in one place, classify group classes by level, give each coach a login, check off progress goals during a session, and put all of a student's sessions on one invoice. Coaches who work together can share one student list while each bills their own families. Email support@toora.ai to set either up.
Toora is not only for skating. It works the same way for any coach who teaches lessons. See how Toora works for every coach.
Questions skating coaches ask
Is Toora only for figure skating coaches?
No. Toora works well for figure skating coaches, and it works the same way for any coach who teaches lessons. It handles scheduling, attendance, monthly invoices and family emails for private lessons and group classes.
Can Toora bill semi-private lessons?
Yes. When several students share an hourly session, Toora splits the cost evenly between them, and each share is priced from that student's own rate. A flat-rate group class charges each student the full amount.
Can I add test fees to a student's invoice?
Yes. Add a test fee as a one-off charge on one student. It lands on that student's invoice for the month it is dated, beside their sessions.
How do I take attendance at the rink?
Open the session in the Toora for Coaches iPhone app or on the web and tick off who came. Or tell Toora in plain words, like "everyone but Sam came". Everyone on a session is billed unless the coach takes them off.
Can a skating program use Toora?
Yes. A program can enroll students in one place, run group classes by level, give each coach a login, track progress by level, and put all of a student's sessions on one invoice. Email support@toora.ai to set it up.
Can skating families book lessons online?
The coach's schedule stays the coach's: families see their sessions and get reminders, and the coach books. When a session needs to move, Toora can email the family a few times to pick from through a link that needs no login.
Does Toora work on a phone at the rink?
Yes. Toora for Coaches is on the App Store for iPhone, iOS 17 and later, and Toora runs at toora.pro in any web browser, on any phone.
