Introduction
The Pear Deck Tutor Admin Dashboard gives you total transparency on utilization data for live tutoring sessions and Writing Labs. That includes data on student usage, which subjects students are requesting most often, details about session length, full session recordings, and more. All completed live tutoring sessions and Writing Labs are archived and available for your review.
Logging into the Pear Deck Tutor Admin Dashboard
The way you log into the Admin Dashboard is different from the path your students will follow and is totally separate from https://tutor.peardeck.com/. To log in for the first time, navigate to https://dashboard.tutor.peardeck.com/ and use the credentials provided to you by the Pear Deck Tutor team.
The first time you log into the Admin Dashboard, you’ll be guided through an in-app tutorial that walks you through the most important features and functionality. If you’d like to revisit this in-app tutorial at any time, you can do so by navigating to Settings → Dashboard Tutorial.

From your Dashboard, you have access to the following basic stats:
Students enrolled: The number of students who’ve logged into Pear Deck Tutor at least one time.
