Law 25 is our problem too, not a checkbox
Quebec gives the families you serve rights that most tutoring platforms were never designed around: access to their information, correction, portability, the withdrawal of consent, and a say in decisions made automatically. Those rights are not optional and they do not stop applying because your software vendor is in another country.
Pillar OS is operated from Canada by a company established in Quebec, so the same law that governs your centre governs us. When a parent asks what you hold about their child, that request has somewhere to go. Our privacy policy and terms are written against PIPEDA and Law 25 rather than translated from an American template.
French that was there from the first line of code
There is a difference between software that supports French and software that was written in it. Pillar OS is bilingual on both sides of the screen: your team works in the language they think in, and families get the parent portal, their invoices, their reminders and their progress reports in theirs.
The AI progress reports draft in French or English from the same session notes, so a tutor writing two bullet points in French gets a parent-ready French report rather than a translated English one. This site is the same product of the same habit: every page you are reading has a French counterpart written natively, not run through a translator.
Priced in your currency, taxed the way you file
The platform fee is in Canadian dollars, published on the pricing page, and set by how many active students you serve. There is no foreign-exchange line that moves your software bill because the dollar moved, and no conversion to reconcile at year end.
Invoices account for the taxes you actually charge and remit, GST and QST, rather than leaving you to reverse-engineer a US invoice for your bookkeeper.
It speaks the way your centre speaks
Your programs, levels and session types are yours to name, so Secondaire 1 through 5, cégep, and the subjects your tutors actually teach read on screen the way your front desk says them out loud. Nothing forces your schedule into another country’s school structure.
Support is on North American hours, from the people who build the product, in French or English.
