Optimized for Virtual Classrooms
Smooth Pen & Stylus Support
Draw fluid math formulas and cursive writing smoothly. Supports touchscreens, styluses, iPads, Chromebooks, and drawing tablets.
Import Reference Images
Quickly upload worksheets, diagrams, math problems, or reference charts directly onto the canvas. Resize, place, and draw over them instantly.
Instant Student Links
No accounts for students. Copy your board's unique link to return to it any time, or export it as a PNG and drop the image in Google Classroom, Zoom chat, or email — students can open it instantly to review notes or work independently, with nothing to sign into.
Ideal for Diverse Subjects
📐 Mathematics & Physics
With options to overlay grid lines, you can graph coordinates, draw lines, and show mathematical solutions. Use shapes for geometry and angles, and the pen tool to step through algebraic equations.
🌐 Language Arts & History
Create timeline sequences, character relation webs, or sentence diagram structures. Use multi-color text blocks to separate sentence components, nouns, and verbs.
🧪 Chemistry & Biology
Sketch molecules, cell structures, and system diagrams. Drag biological system images onto the canvas, then label them together with your class during a remote screen-share.
Setting Up Your First Tutoring Session
Whether it's a one-on-one math session or a full class, the setup takes under a minute.
Open a board a few minutes early
Click "Start Teaching Now" before the session starts, and drop in a worksheet, a graph background, or a title so the canvas isn't blank when the student joins.
Send the link, not an invite
Paste the board URL into your video call chat, Google Classroom stream, or a text message. There's no account for the student to create — the link just records the board ID for your own browser, so anyone who clicks it gets their own blank canvas. Share a PNG export when the student needs to see your version.
Walk through the problem step by step
Draw each step while you explain it. If the student opens their own canvas from the link, they can follow along or try the next problem themselves in their browser.
Export the board as the session's notes
When you wrap up, export the whole canvas as a PNG and send it over. The student gets a complete, legible record of exactly what was worked through — no re-typing notes afterward.
Keeping Remote Students Engaged
Hand over the pen often
A student watching you solve a problem learns less than a student solving it themselves while you're there to correct course. Let them drive the canvas for most of the session.
Use color to separate steps
Switch pen color for each new step in a multi-step problem. It sounds small, but it makes a worked solution far easier to review later, especially in longer algebra or physics problems.
Keep one board per topic
Starting a fresh board for each new topic — rather than scrolling one giant canvas — makes it much easier for a student to find "the quadratic formula session" again three weeks later.
Teaching Whiteboard FAQ
Do my students need to install anything?
No. The canvas runs entirely in the browser, so a student on a Chromebook, iPad, or phone can open the link and start writing on their own canvas without installing an app or creating an account. Just remember each browser keeps its own board — your drawings won't appear on the student's screen unless you share an export.
Does it work with a stylus or Apple Pencil?
Yes — the canvas accepts standard touch and stylus input, so pens on iPads and drawing tablets write as smoothly as a mouse-drawn line, without extra configuration.
Can I reuse the same board with different students?
Yes — in fact each browser saves its own copy, so a link opened on another device always starts a fresh canvas rather than showing your drawings. That keeps every student's work separate: start a new board per student or per topic, and export a PNG per session if you want a record of the tutor's notes.
Is there a video or audio call built in?
No — this is a drawing canvas, not a video conferencing tool. Most tutors run it alongside Zoom, Google Meet, or a phone call, sharing the board link separately from the call link.
Why tutors reach for this
Sharing an equation pad takes one link — no login, no payment, no setup on the student's end. Open a board and export it as a PNG to send diagrams instantly, or share the URL so your student can start their own canvas in seconds. Looking for practical tips on running a lesson?
