Everything an online lesson needs, in one tab
Tutorlot replaces the awkward mix of video call, screen share and a separate whiteboard app with a single room you and your student share.
Shared whiteboard
An infinite canvas tutor and student draw on together in real time — shapes, text, freehand and more.
Built-in video
Face-to-face video and audio in the same window as the board. No Zoom, no second tab.
One link, no installs
Share a single link. Students join in the browser — nothing to download, no account required.
Open PDFs on the board
Import a worksheet or past paper and annotate over every page. Tutor and student can both bring files.
Tablet & stylus ready
Write naturally on an iPad or tablet with a stylus. Handwriting feels like paper.
Scheduling & reminders
Book one-off or weekly lessons and send your student an email reminder with the join link.
