- Teaching tools
- Teaching features include a five-level skills matrix, shared reflection logs, DL25-style fault records and built-in lesson guides.
- Routes
- Instructors can record practice drives, browse test-centre routes and track pupil route attempts; Android Auto is supported on compatible systems.
- Payments
- Pupils can purchase lesson credit through Stripe using supported cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay after the instructor sets up Stripe.
- Calendar integrations
- Calendar Sync supports Google Calendar and Apple Calendar through iCloud; external events appear in LessonBuddy as view-only.

- Security and privacy
- The privacy policy says LessonBuddy uses encrypted connections, access controls, secure cloud infrastructure and monitoring, and does not sell personal information.
