Many studios rely on manual processes for teacher cover, payroll and access rights. This guide shows how to streamline and automate your ope

Why managing your teachers does not have to be complicated

Running a studio comes with a wide range of responsibilities, especially if you have multiple locations or a large teaching team. As soon as you need to organise last-minute cover, make sure payments are accurate or define who should see what in your system, things can get overwhelming fast.

Many studios still rely on manual processes in these cases: messages in group chats, spreadsheets for payments, or calling around when someone drops out at short notice. It takes time, causes stress, and leads to mistakes or misunderstandings.

The good news: it does not have to be this way.

With bsport, you can simplify your entire teacher management—without the chaos. Here's how.

1. Organise teacher cover automatically

Last-minute cancellations are part of daily life in any studio, but finding cover should still be easy and efficient. With bsport, you can manage the whole process internally, directly in the system. No more writing in messy WhatsApp groups or endless back-and-forth messaging.

Each teacher can request cover directly from their own account. The system automatically suggests colleagues who are available at that time. With just a few clicks, the cover is confirmed and the schedule is updated—for you, for the team and for your clients.

This makes the process transparent, trackable and efficient. Especially for large teams or multi-location studios, it is a real game changer.

2. Automate teacher payroll

Do you work with freelancers or pay based on the number of classes taught? bsport helps you automate this, too. The system automatically tracks who taught which class, and when. Whether your pay is based on attendance, hours taught or a combination, the system adjusts accordingly.

Teachers can download their own invoices directly from their accounts. This saves time, increases transparency and reduces admin work for your team.

3. Track working hours with ease

With bsport, teachers can clock in and out directly through the branded app. This makes it easier to monitor attendance and provides a clear record of hours worked—essential for accurate payments and internal tracking.

Our instructors now have a great overview and can simply check in and out through the app. It makes everything so much more transparent and pleasant for everyone.

4. Set access rights for your team

Not everyone needs to see everything. bsport allows you to define specific access rights for every role in your team. Teachers can only see their own classes and attendance, while your studio manager can access the full schedule.

That way, everyone stays informed, but no one is overloaded with unnecessary information.

Efficient teacher management starts with the right system

As your studio grows, professional teacher management becomes the foundation of a smooth operation. With bsport, you can automate key processes, reduce communication effort and give your team more independence—without losing control.

The cover tool in particular has made a big difference for many of our clients.

We used to handle cover manually in Excel. Now everything runs automatically through bsport’s internal cover tool. Our teachers manage the process themselves and we barely need to step in, which saves a huge amount of time and energy.
