Kapdec Session Time Tracker is a smart productivity tool designed for modern STEM tutors and academic programs that require accuracy, transparency, and minimal manual effort. Designed to support K–12, AP, and college-prep environments, it automatically records session start and end times, tracks actual teaching duration, and converts every minute into actionable reports for billing, payroll, and performance review—so educators can focus on teaching while Kapdec handles the time.

Features:

1. Built-In Tracking – No Third-Party Tools Needed 

Time tracking is fully integrated into the Kapdec platform—no extra apps, extensions, or software required. Tutors benefit from a smoother workflow and save money by avoiding paid time-tracking tools. Everything happens automatically within the learning environment, eliminating setup hassle and tech juggling. 

2. Precise Time Logging 

Kapdec tracks tutoring duration down to the second. As soon as the session ends, the total time spent is automatically recorded. Students can easily view their session history, allowing full clarity on progress and usage. For tutors, this level of precision supports accurate payment and record-keeping without any manual steps. 

3. Student Session Approval 

To prevent confusion or disputes, students get a three-day review window to approve logged tutoring time. Once approved, the record is locked—ensuring both sides agree. This transparent confirmation process builds trust and keeps expectations clear. 

4. Compliant With Privacy Laws 

Unlike systems that rely on session recordings as proof of time, Kapdec’s tracker does not record video or audio. This approach avoids international privacy complications and ensures global compatibility. Tutors and students can work together confidently, without worrying about consent laws or legal implications. 

5. No Separate Logbook Required 

Manual logs, private spreadsheets, or separate note-taking tools are no longer necessary. Kapdec automatically organizes all session records, saving tutors time and reducing administrative workload. Everything is stored, searchable, and accessible—making reporting and planning effortless.
