Optimized for Virtual Classrooms

โœ๏ธ

Smooth Pen & Stylus Support

Draw fluid math formulas and cursive writing at 60 FPS. Supports touchscreens, styluses, iPads, Chromebooks, and drawing tablets with zero pen latency.

๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

Import PDFs and Images

Quickly drag-and-drop worksheets, diagrams, math problems, or reference charts directly onto the canvas. Resize, place, and draw over them instantly.

๐Ÿ”—

Instant Student Links

No accounts for students. Copy your board's unique link and drop it in Google Classroom, Zoom chat, or email. Students open it instantly to watch or collaborate.

Ideal for Diverse Subjects

๐Ÿ“ 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.

๐ŸŒ 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.

๐Ÿงช Chemistry & Biology

Sketch molecules, cell structures, and system diagrams. Drag biological system images onto the canvas to label them collaboratively 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.

1

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.

2

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, so it opens straight to the canvas.

3

Work the problem together, live

Both of you can write on the canvas at once โ€” walk through a step, then hand off the pen so the student solves the next one while you watch their reasoning in real time.

4

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 โ€” 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 โ€” rather than scrolling one giant canvas โ€” 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 without installing an app or creating an account.

Does it work with a stylus or Apple Pencil?

Yes โ€” the canvas accepts standard touch and stylus input, so pressure-based 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?

You can, but it's usually cleaner to start a new board per student or per topic โ€” that way each student's link only shows their own work, and you can export a clean record per session.

Is there a video or audio call built in?

No โ€” 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 Choose This Over Other Tools

  • โœ“

    No account creation means zero setup friction before a paid session starts โ€” the student opens the link and the board is there immediately.

  • โœ“

    Works across devices students already have โ€” Chromebooks, iPads, Android phones โ€” with no app install required on their end.

  • โœ“

    Exporting the board as a PNG at the end of the session gives students a clean, take-home record of everything worked through โ€” no re-typing notes required.

  • โœ“

    The free tier has no feature gate on export or board count โ€” unlike most paid tutoring platforms that lock PNG export or limit boards behind a subscription.
