MJX Learn is not only for selling online. A course set to **Offline — taught in person** is a class that meets at your institute: you keep the daily register, add study books and notes that students read on their phone, set a fee plan or monthly fee, and record what they paid. Students see their attendance, books and payments in the MJX Learn app.

## What changes for a tuition class?

If you chose **Tuition** when you signed up, the app uses tuition words and new courses default to in-person:

| Coaching / institute | Tuition |
|---|---|
| Batch | Class |
| Chapter | Subject |
| Topic | Book |
| Learner | Student |

## How to create an in-person class

> [!PATH] Apps › MJX Learn › Courses › Add Course

![Add Course window with How is it taught? set to Offline — taught in person marked](media/learn/tuition-and-in-person-classes-1.jpg "Apps › MJX Learn › Courses › Add Course")

1. Type the name.
2. Under **How is it taught?** choose **Offline — taught in person at the institute**.
3. Press [[Create course]].

In the app: **My batches** (or **My classes**) › **Add …** › **Offline** — "Taught in person. You keep the register, note the fees and add the books. It is never sold online."

> [!WARNING]
> An offline course cannot be made online later. Changing an online course to offline takes it off sale and stops it opening online for everybody on it.

## Open the class register

> [!PATH] Apps › MJX Learn › Offline attendance

![Offline attendance screen (no offline course yet in the demo)](media/learn/tuition-and-in-person-classes-2.jpg "Apps › MJX Learn › Offline attendance")

The **Offline attendance** page lists every in-person course: how many learners, when it was last marked, and **Today done** or **Today not marked**. Press [[Take attendance →]]. A course's own page has five tabs: **Register**, **Books**, **Fee**, **Payments** and **Learners**.

### Steps to mark attendance

1. Open the **Register** tab and pick the **Date**.
2. Tap each name for present, absent, late or leave — or press [[All present]].
3. Press [[Save register]].

In the app: tap the class › **Register — mark attendance**, then [[Save]]. You see "Register saved for …".

## How to add learners to a class

On the **Learners** tab, under **Add a learner**, type the **Name** and **Mobile number** and press [[Add learner]]. "They sign in to the app with this number to see their attendance and payments."

Two children on one phone number are kept apart: a different name on the same number becomes a separate student. See [Learners](learn/learners).

## How to add books and notes

On the **Books** tab, under **Add a book**:

1. Type the **Name — e.g. Maths Chapter 4** and, optionally, a **Subject**.
2. Choose **A PDF (paste its link)** or **A note I write here**.
3. For a PDF, paste the Google Drive link. In Google Drive: Share → "Anyone with the link" → Copy link. A link only you can open will not open for your learners.
4. Press [[Add book]].

Students open books in the app under **Books and notes**, as a page-turning book. Nothing here is sold or shown online. Teachers can add and change books; only the owner can remove one.

> [!NOTE]
> **Book limit per class.** Each in-person class can hold a number of books set by your plan (Forever Free: 5 by default). When it is reached you see "You are on the Forever Free plan, which allows up to … Everything you already have stays — upgrade to add more."

## How to set fees

### A fee plan (one-time or instalments)

On the **Fee** tab, under **Fee plan**: one line for a one-time fee, or one per instalment. Each is due on a date, or a number of days after the learner joins (0 = on joining). Press [[+ Add instalment]] and [[Save fee plan]].

A new learner gets a copy of the plan; changing the plan later never changes what an existing learner owes. The tab shows **Unpaid (due)** and **Upcoming**, with totals.

### A monthly fee (app)

In the app open **Money › Payments › Monthly fee**:

1. Choose the **Class**.
2. Type the **Fee every month** and pick **Due on, every month**.
3. Press [[Save monthly fee]].

"Set it once. Every student of the class is asked for it each month, and Unpaid shows who has not paid." It starts from this month — nothing is asked for earlier months. Use [[Stop the monthly fee]] to end it.

## How to record a payment

On the **Payments** tab, under **Record a payment**, choose the learner, type the **Amount ₹**, date and mode, add a **Note (receipt no., month…) — optional**, and press [[Record payment]]. A payment recorded by mistake can be cancelled.

In the app's **Payments** screen the tabs are **TRANSACTIONS**, **STUDENTS**, **UNPAID** and **UPCOMING**; modes are **Cash**, **UPI**, **Bank**, **Cheque** and **Other**. Payments you take yourself show "Collected by you — … No MJX fee on money you collect yourself."

## What students see

In the MJX Learn app, an in-person class shows **In person · books and notes**. Inside:

- **Books and notes** — what your teacher added.
- **Attendance** — "Present, absent and leave, month by month", with **Overall attendance**.
- **Class fees and payments** — **Fee**, **Paid**, **Balance**, the next instalment and **My payments**.

If a student opens an in-person course from a web link they see: "This course is taught in person at the institute, so it does not open online. Your attendance and payments are in the app."

## Who can use this?

| Who | Can |
|---|---|
| Owner, Admin | Everything: create classes, fees, payments, register, books. |
| Teacher | Mark the register and add or change books on classes they teach. "Ask the office to add you as a teacher of the offline course." |
| Plan | **Offline attendance** is part of "Live classes, mock tests and certificates" — **Basic** and up. Book limits per class depend on your plan. |

## Questions people ask

### Can an offline course be sold online?

No. An offline course is never sold or opened online. You add the learners, take the money at the desk and keep the register; they see their attendance and payments in the app. It cannot be made online later.

### Do students need to pay MJX for an in-person class?

No. You record what they paid you (cash, UPI, bank, cheque). There is no MJX fee on money you collect yourself.

### How many books can one class hold?

It depends on your plan. Forever Free allows a small number of books per in-person class (5 by default); paid plans allow more. When the limit is reached you are told how many your plan allows.

### Can students ask doubts about an in-person class?

Yes. In-person classes can be asked about, to the teacher only.

### Why does the app say "Class", "Subject" and "Book"?

Because your institute type is Tuition. A tuition class sees Class, Subject, Book and Student where a coaching centre sees Batch, Chapter, Topic and Learner.
