Founded by a teacher and a developer
Why SpiralClass exists
Not a feature list built for a pitch deck — a set of problems one teacher actually lived, solved one at a time.
Who built it
Jay Stewart
Founder — the developer
Software developer. He built SpiralClass for a working teacher's real problem, not an abstract idea — which is why every feature exists for a reason: someone needed it first.
Our why
Independent teachers do the hardest part — teaching well — and then lose hours to scheduling, chasing payments, and repeating themselves over WhatsApp. SpiralClass exists so that admin work never costs a teacher a class, or a student a lesson.
Why you can trust it
Payments processed by Stripe
SpiralClass never stores your card details. Charges go through Stripe, the same processor used by Amazon and millions of businesses worldwide.
Your data, protected
Encryption in transit, restricted access, and a plain-language privacy notice about what we keep and why.
Built with a real teacher
Every feature was tested in a working teacher's real classes before it ever reached anyone else.
Get paid, wherever you are
By card through Stripe where it's available, or direct bank transfer through Wise everywhere else — there's always a way to get paid.
Open source
The whole platform is public on GitHub under the AGPL-3.0-only licence — anyone can read exactly how classes, student data and payments are handled here.
