TL;DR: LearnSpark for Agencies uses a simple base fee plus a small monthly cost for each student, allowing you to grow your team and manage everyone from one place.
LearnSpark provides professional tutors, learning pods, and schools with a dedicated Agency Model. This system is built to grow with you as you add more teachers and students. It moves away from a single family account and gives you a professional way to manage your entire team.
When you run an agency, you need to see the big picture. This model lets you oversee multiple tutors and students in one spot. It simplifies your paperwork so you can focus on what you do best—teaching! Great job on taking the next step in your professional journey.
How Agency Billing Works
LearnSpark uses a "Base + Per Student" formula for organizations. Your account starts with a $29 per month base subscription. This fee covers your admin tools and your first set of SparkAI credits.
For every student you add to your organization, there is a flat fee of $10 per month. This allows you to add or remove students easily as your enrollment changes. You only pay for the active students you are currently teaching.
💡 Good to know: Tutors and administrators do not count toward your student total! You can add as many educators as you need to your team without increasing your per-student costs.
Understanding SparkAI Credits
SparkAI credits are used for almost everything the platform does for you. This includes updating Mastery Profiles, generating lessons, and even doing gap analysis on your curriculum. SparkAI works in the background to keep your student data accurate.
The base account includes 150 SparkAI credits. This is usually enough for one or two students with average usage. If your agency is very active, you can buy extra credit packs of 150 credits for $10 each. These credits are shared across your entire organization.
⚠️ Heads up: If you are getting close to your credit limit, the platform will prompt you to upgrade. This ensures your SparkAI tools keep running smoothly for all your students.
Managing Students and Changes
We know that your student list can change quickly. LearnSpark uses Trust-Based Thresholds. This means we don't block you from adding a new student the moment someone joins your program—we trust you to keep accurate records.
If you add or remove students mid-month, your bill is pro-rated. This means if a student joins halfway through the month, you only pay for the days they were active. If you deactivate a student profile, that spot becomes available for a new student.
Key Features for Organizations
The Agency Model provides tools specifically designed for professional oversight:
Tutor Management: Invite multiple tutors to your organization. You can manage their access levels so a team can work together on a student's journey.
Mastery Tracking: Use SparkAI to track standards and see learning gaps across your entire student body.
Centralized Billing: Manage all payments for tutors and students through a single Stripe connection to keep your accounting simple.
Agency Dashboard: See all student progress and Mastery Profiles from one central location for high-quality oversight.
When a tutor creates a lesson using SparkAI, you can see it on your master schedule. This ensures every student gets a consistent education. That's it—you're all set to grow your agency!
