Work together, no account
You send the student a link and they hop onto the whiteboard instantly, without creating an account - your pen and theirs work on the same surface.
Online whiteboard.
A shared whiteboard built for tutoring: you open a single link with your student and run the whole lesson - from the first stroke to the topic recap - without jumping between apps.

What the online whiteboard can do
See who's writing
Everyone has their own colour and a cursor labelled with their name, so instead of asking "can you see this?", you simply see where the student is writing.
Formula libraries
Maths, physics and chemistry come with ready-made charts, triangles and formulas that you just drag onto the board and drop wherever you need them.
Paste images
A scan of an exercise, a snippet from a PDF or a photo from your phone goes straight onto the board, and the file is saved to your drive right away.
Whiteboard auto-save
You don't have to save or export anything - every move is stored automatically, so after a break you return exactly where you left off.
Read-only mode
A public link for a parent or a classmate lets them view the whole board history, but gives no right to edit it.
How to teach a lesson on an online whiteboard
You create a board
You click "New board" and get a ready link straight away - no picking templates, no digging through settings.
You assign it to a student
With one click you tie the board to a specific student, so their lessons, grades and progress start gathering in one place.
You send the link to the student
The student opens the link in their browser and is inside right away, no account - you draw, they add on, everything happens at once.
You work together live
Every move shows up instantly for both of you, a voice call runs in the background, and the board merges your changes itself, so nothing gets lost.
You grade the lesson against the plan
After the session you mark the topics you covered and rate how well they're mastered on a scale of 1 to 5 - the parent gets a ready report and you keep the whole history at hand.
Why us?
Close the laptop. Nothing's lost
Every stroke saves itself. No “Save” button.
A lesson from six months ago? Sure
We keep boards for 6 months.
You draw, your student already sees it
Like standing at the same whiteboard.
Who the online whiteboard is for
Three typical situations where tutors put this to work.
Maths and physics
You work through a problem step by step: you draw the graph, your student adds the calculations in their own colour. Drag formulas and shapes from the library, and keep the CKE formula sheet at hand for the whole lesson.
Foreign languages
Paste a photo of a text or a textbook exercise, and your student underlines and fills in the answers. The board saves itself, so next time you pick up with the same vocabulary.
Lessons with nothing to install
Your student doesn't download anything or create an account: they get a link and start writing. The board works on laptops, tablets and phones, so the lesson starts even when all they have is a mobile.
Instead of photos of paper and screen sharing
Here's how it usually goes without Lern.
Without LernWith Lern
- Writing together
- Without Lern: You share your screen and the student just watches.
- With Lern: You both write on the same board, each in your own colour.
- Problems
- Without Lern: A phone photo of a worksheet, taken mid-lesson.
- With Lern: A problem from the bank pasted onto the board with clean formulas.
- Lesson record
- Without Lern: A screenshot at the end, if anyone remembered.
- With Lern: Every stroke saves itself and the board waits for the next lesson.
- Starting the lesson
- Without Lern: Installing apps and hunting for the meeting link.
- With Lern: One link in the browser, no student account needed.
The board connects to everything else
Data flows between modules on its own, so you never retype anything.
Frequently asked questions
Does my student need an account to write on the board?
No. You send your student a link, they open the board in a browser and can write straight away. An account only matters if the student should get their own panel with lessons and homework.
Does the board save automatically?
Yes. Every stroke is saved automatically, so there's nothing to export. After a break you pick up exactly where you left off.
Does the board work on phones and tablets?
Yes, it works in any browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. Nothing to install.
Can I show the board to a parent?
Yes. A read-only link lets them view the board without being able to edit it.
