After you create your TutorFlow account, a short onboarding flow sets up your workspace. It takes six steps and about one to two minutes, and you can change everything it creates later in your settings.
Onboarding is for educators. If you are a learner, skip it and use the class link your instructor shared.
What onboarding creates
- your team, the organization that owns your content, members, and billing
- your first classroom, the space learners join, with its own URL
- a record of your teaching context, so the home page suggests fitting examples
- optionally, a referral code
Step 1. Describe your teaching environment
Choose the option that fits best:
- Independent Instructor
- School or University
- Company / Team
This shapes the next question and the examples TutorFlow shows you afterwards. It does not limit what you can build.
Step 2. Your subject, or your team size
Independent instructors and schools are asked what they teach: Language, STEM, Humanities & Social Studies, or Other with a free-text field.
Companies and teams are asked how many people are on the team, from 1-10 up to 501+.
Step 3. Set up your workspace
This is the step that creates something:
- Team name. A school, department, training team, tutoring brand, or company. It appears on invitations and in the workspace switcher.
- Classroom name. The space your learners will join.
- Classroom URL. TutorFlow proposes a slug from the classroom name. Only English letters, numbers, and hyphens are allowed. Keep it short and recognizable, because learners will type it.
- Referral code (optional). Open Have a referral code? if a partner or campaign gave you one.
Click Next. TutorFlow creates the team and the classroom while you watch.
Step 4. Pick the features you are interested in
Tick at least one feature. The next step offers only the tools you tick here, so tick everything you might start with. Every tool stays in the sidebar afterwards whatever you choose.
Step 5. Choose a tool to get started
The last question asks which of the features you ticked you want to make first. Each option shows its own short path:
| Start with | The path |
|---|---|
| Course | Create curriculum, create lessons, start the online class or download a PDF |
| Test | Create the test, then run it online or download a PDF |
| Slides | Create slides, edit them, share or download |
| Video | Enter a topic, generate scenes, create and download the video file |
| Assignment feedback | Add the rubric and submissions, review scorecards and feedback |
| AI detector | Upload text or a file, detect AI-generated content |
| Compare AI | Select models, compare their answers at a glance |
| OCR | Upload an image or draw, edit, copy or download |
Click Get Started. The welcome offer appears next, and after it you land in the tool you chose with its starting page open. You can reach every other tool from the sidebar.
Step 6. The welcome offer
New teams see a one-time offer: 50% off the first month of the Pro plan if you subscribe within 72 hours of signing up. Choose Apply to take it or Maybe later to continue on the Free plan. A banner with the time remaining stays on your dashboard until the offer ends.
Nothing is charged by taking the offer screen. Payment happens only when you complete a Pro subscription.
What you have on the Free plan
Onboarding puts you on the Free plan, which includes 1 classroom, up to 10 learners, 60 AI Credits to get started, and 100 AI tutor responses per month. Each paid plan raises the classroom and learner limits; see tutorflow.io/pricing for the current numbers.
