Detailed Reports & Analytics
Tutor LMS reports give you a detailed overview of your enrolled courses, added lessons, total enrolments, number of students, quizzes, reviews, and so on. There are 3 sections where you can find the course analytics.
- Overview: You get the complete idea of how your courses are performing right under the overview section of Tutor LMS reports.
- Courses: You get 6 predefined time filters through which you can see how your courses have performed over the past year, month, week or a specific time period, then you can enter dates as well. There’s also an option to download the performance reports
- Reviews: In reports, there’s a separate section dedicated for reviews. You can read and manage all the course reviews easily from here.
Frontend Student Dashboard
The student dashboards help students track their own progress. This is where they get access to their enrolled courses, course status, progress, announcements, or any other notification they receive.
Instructor Dashboard
Instructors can easily add courses, lessons, manage reviews- basically all their essential functions from their own dashboards. Moreover, each instructor gets a public profile.
Multiple Instructors for Courses
If necessary, you can add multiple instructors to a single course. Enable the “Tutor Multi Instructors” addon and you’ll get the option to add multiple instructors to your courses.

Video Streaming
With Tutor, teachers can offer course videos from multiple sources like YouTube and Vimeo. Videos can also be hosted on your own server. Its built-in system prevents any unauthorized access to the natively hosted content. Viewers can resume the video lessons from where they left off.
Course Prerequisites
Add prerequisites to the courses to let the students know the requirements they need to meet before enrolling in a course. Inform target students about other related courses you offer as well.
Free Lesson Previews in Paid Courses
Just like a test drive you take before buying a car, prospective students might want to test drive some lessons of your premium courses. In this case, you can open a few lessons that students can view and then decide whether to take the course. Having this option means that your course content can motivate students to enroll.
Email Communication and Notifications
Anyone associated with your learning platform will love to stay connected and receive important notifications. Tutor E-mail addon lets the site admins send customized emails in a few clicks. Define your very own footer text, sender name, and mail ID. Decide when students and other teachers receive an email notification right from the settings panel. Send emails to students when they enrol in a course, complete a quiz/course, and for many other events.
Certificates
Right after your students finish a course, they would love to be rewarded with a certificate. In fact, some students specifically look for courses that provide a certificate.
Tutor LMS comes with 13 certificate templates and more to come. You can personalize these professional grade certificates with authorized name, institution name, signature, and all that apply.
Q&A section for Students & Teachers
With Tutor LMS, you can promote interactions amongst students and teachers. Students can ask any questions to teachers or comment in the Q&A section.
Ratings and Reviews
Tutor LMS offers the option for students to rate a course and write a review about it. Instructors can get valuable suggestions on how to improve a course from this feature. Teachers can manage each submitted review individually.
Content Security
Your eLearning platform is supposed to hold a massive content. It’s extremely important to ensure a secure infrastructure for these data. We’re aware of this and performed extensive research to make Tutor LMS as secure as possible in this regard. When you offer content from an external source like YouTube or Vimeo, security/privacy for these kinds of stuff is managed on the respective platforms.
But if you upload your videos using Tutor’s native video uploading feature, we offer top-notch privacy features for those contents. Tutor LMS ensures authorized-only content access by checking a number of aspects like login, request origin, where it is embedded, etc. No traditional methods like directory/wp-content browsing can expose your content to unauthorized access.
Gutenberg Compatible
Tutor LMS is compatible with the new WordPress Gutenberg editor. It incorporates 3 custom Gutenberg blocks inside. These blocks are:
Tutor Student Registration: The student registration block is for students who are interested to join courses and you can include it anywhere in your course. It appears as a basic form where students can enter their information.
Instructor Registration Form: The instructor registration form block allows you to place a sign-up form for instructors who want to join your platform. The form has all the relevant fields all set up for you to recruit new instructors.
Tutor Student Dashboard: Include a student dashboard with this custom Gutenberg block. Students can check their course progress, courses enrolled and other useful information wherever you place the block.

Bonjour,
dans la rubrique “Streaming vidéo” quand vous dite ;
“Son système intégré empêche tout accès non autorisé au contenu hébergé de manière native.” Cela veut-il dire que seul les vidéos télécharger sur notre serveur seront automatiqument protégé?
Tashfia Fareed
Bonjour @bnicomette. Yes, it means that only videos uploaded to your server are automatically protected. Unauthorized users cannot access those videos by pasting the lesson URL. Hope this helps!
cmfionline
Great write up and cool plugin.
Is it compatible with WPML plugin for multilingual course?
Secondly, one common LMS plugin is wpcourseware and others. How easy would it be for someone who has a developed and productive course migrate from such plugins to tutor LMS?
Tashfia Fareed
Thank you!
Tutor LMS is multilingual-ready. We have submitted Tutor LMS for compatibility report with WPML and still waiting for the final review. Once we get it, we’ll surely inform you.
Unfortunately, right now we don’t have any migration tools but we’ll introduce that very soon. Stay connected with us for more news!
