You Need HotGlue

"Can I just Venmo you?"
"My login isn't working."
"I hate chasing late payments."

If you teach, train, tutor, or instruct, your focus should be on your students, not your software.
Studio software should empower you to do what you love.
Yet, most systems are clunky, confusing, and ugly. They make your work harder, not easier.
Not HotGlue.
HotGlue is refreshingly easy to use. We handle the "business" end of your business in a beautiful interface that everyone will love - so that you can handle the magic.
Stop managing the noise. Start teaching again.
