Where tutors and students meet, in light.
Most tutors still meet on a video call and a shared doc. LumenBoard is a modern alternative — one persistent room per student, with live video, an infinite whiteboard, recordings, and homework, all designed for tutoring from the ground up. No downloads, no new link each week.
You shouldn’t need three apps to teach one student.
A video call, a shared doc, a folder of homework PDFs, a calendar invite that gets re-sent every Tuesday. We built LumenBoard for the way tutoring actually works: one room, one URL, every tool inside, and last week’s lesson still where you left it.
Today
- “What was the link for tomorrow again?”
- Hunt through Drive for last week’s notes.
- Email a homework PDF after the lesson.
- Forget to hit record (again).
LumenBoard
- One URL per student. Same one, every week, forever.
- Last week’s whiteboard is still on the canvas.
- Drag the PDF into the room. They see it.
- Recording is on by default — and it ends up in the lesson archive.
A whiteboard that thinks like a teacher.
Drop a PDF onto the canvas and draw on top. Drag in an image. Add a math equation that renders properly — fractions, radicals, the works. Flip between pages without losing context. Two cursors, real time, no lag.
One URL per student. Forever.
Pair a tutor and a student once. The room they get is the room they keep. Same link tomorrow, next month, next year — and every session before this one is still in there.

Built for one tutor and one student — not 200 strangers.
Most video tools are for meetings — anyone can show up, anyone can take the floor. We tuned LumenBoard for one-on-one teaching: the tutor leads the canvas, the student follows along, and nobody else is in the room.
One click. Every student follows your view.
When you pan or zoom, the room moves with you. Drop it again and they can roam free. The room is the lesson; you decide what's on it.
Quiet by design.
Hands lift, you see them. The student speaking gets the bigger tile — everyone else stays muted, no airpod-tap roulette.
Only the two of you.
Rooms are private to the tutor-student pair by default. No public link, no waiting room, no "who let them in" Slack panic.

Every lesson, automatically remembered.
Recording starts when the room opens. Homework lands next to the lesson it came from. Search by date, topic, or student — last week’s explanation is two clicks away.
- Recordings stored in your bucket — exportable as MP4
- Homework PDFs, images, audio — drag-drop into the room
- Hours auto-tracked for invoicing and parent reports

What tutors are saying.
My students stopped asking me what the link is. The room is just there, every Tuesday at four. Six months in, the whiteboard from our first session is still in there — they actually scroll back to it.

The auto-recording is the unsung hero. I send parents a link to last lesson before the next one — no more 'what did we cover again?' emails.

We replaced Zoom + Drive + a homemade scheduling sheet. Onboarding 20 tutors took an afternoon.

Questions tutors actually ask.
Do my students need to download anything?
No. LumenBoard runs in the browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. They follow the link, allow camera + mic, and they’re in.
Can I record sessions?
Yes. Recording starts automatically when the room opens (you can turn it off per-room or for a single session). Recordings save as MP4 to your storage and show up in the lesson archive.
What happens to the whiteboard after the lesson?
It stays in the room. Open the same URL next week and last week’s shapes, equations, and notes are exactly where you left them. Each room has multiple pages, so you can keep notes per chapter or topic.
Does this integrate with my scheduling tool?
Calendar integration with Google Calendar and Outlook is on the Practice plan and above — you’ll get a calendar event with the room link auto-filled. We don’t replace your scheduler; we slot into it.
What about data privacy?
Recordings live in your storage bucket (we offer EU and US data residency on the School plan). We don’t use lesson data to train anything. You can delete a room and its history with one click.
Can students bring their own homework files?
Yes. Drag-drop in the room — PDFs, images, audio. Files live next to the lesson they came from. Total inline upload is 50 MB per file on Tutor and Practice plans.
Is there a mobile app?
The room itself is desktop-only — teaching on a phone is unpleasant. The homework portal and lesson archive both work on mobile, so students can review between sessions.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel at the end of the current month. Annual plans cancel at renewal — you keep access through the period you paid for.
Set up your first room in under a minute.
Bring one student. See if it sticks. If it doesn’t, you’ve lost five minutes — and we’ll personally help you import your notes anyway.
