An online whiteboard for tutoring,where your student writes with you.
Send a link. Your student enters their name and joins your board in a browser, without an account. Keep the task beside the solution, talk in the same window and leave notes for next week.
Basic is free. Students do not need an account.
Add a quick quiz beside the tricky task and a note for next time. Everything stays on the same board.
Your student sees your work and adds their own.
Work on the same board at the same time. A student asks about a word on a sticky note; you answer beside it and ask for two sentences. See their writing as it happens, rather than in a notebook photo after class.
Start a video call on the board. If you prefer Zoom or Meet, open the board during your call and keep your notes together.
Your student needs: a browser, a link and a name.
The material and solution in one view.
Keep the worksheet, quick check and review beside the task they belong to.
A worksheet, PDF or notebook photo
Upload a page and fill in the data directly on it. Put the v(t) graph beside it so your student can show that distance is the triangle's area under the graph.
A quick check beside the tricky task
Three questions beside the table where a student mixed up chromosome counts. See whether to move on or return to meiosis.
Flashcards from this lesson

Material, room for student work and a quick check. The board layout stays; the subject changes.

Questions about online whiteboards for tutoring
These answers focus on 1:1 lessons, student access and what remains after class.

Yes. You can place material on the board and explain next to it, instead of switching between a file and a separate note.
No. Lucyboard is the live lesson workspace. If you need modules, grading, reports and admin workflows, use an LMS next to it.
