If I wait a few hours it usually solves itself but that will mean I miss my session and have to make other arrangements.“ December 23, 2025 FD Fiona D TutoringE-Learning, 11 - 50 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “The shared whiteboard allows both me and the student to write, draw, and solve problems at the same time, which feels more like working together in person.“ March 30, 2026 Ss Sebastian s tutorE-Learning, Self-employedUsed the software for: Less than 6 months. “The tool sets need to be broader, more table type tools and organisers to make things easier , text input tool is not very smart.“ May 19, 2026 MN Michael N Learning CoachE-Learning, 51 - 200 employeesUsed the software for: 6-12 months. “The whiteboard and collaboration tools are intuitive, and the video conferencing integration works well most of the time.

Pros This has proved good value for money. It was easy to learn how to use it (and I have been using it within a tutoring app already so I was looking to find a whiteboard that was similar to that). The children adapt easily to using the tool bar with their stylus pen. I like the layout and ability to share different websites within the lesson. Cons Sometimes my stylus pen stops working if I have to click on a pop up during a lesson but that might be a laptop issue rather than lessonspace one. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) I needed a more child friendly whiteboard and easier to use facilities. Review Source CC Christian C. Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "General Feedback" April 13, 2026 4.0 It's definitely been a time saver. Occasionally, students have issues joining sessions, but overall it's a great tool! Pros Simplicity and scalability. I like how I can also see who's active during a session. I like the overall design Cons Cannot simply copy a lesson link from Teachworks. Need to open it and then copy from Lessonspace. I would prefer deeper integrations with Teachworks. Switched from [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/)[Google Meet](https://www.capterra.com/p/176572/Google-Hangouts/) All in one platform. Unlimited lessons per account.

Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great idea, limited functionality" May 7, 2026 1.0 I don't like it, it's too limited in functionality, and isn't good for younger learners. I would much rather use a different platform. Its limitations are frustrating and far outweigh the positives Pros The whiteboard features, being able to have multiple tabs open. Having a chat function as well as microphone, the bare bones functionality is okay Cons You can't access the lesson you have scheduled from within the Primary Tutoring Platform - you have export the file and then upload it into a new lesson - very time consuming and inefficient. Lack of resources, very hard to use interactively with younger learners You can't embed video or animations There are only two games available No way to save the room after the lesson has ended It records everything, even the sessions where I'm setting up I can't organise my different lessons into subfolders, e.g. one per student I'm working with, they're just in a big mess on the homepage I can't access recordings of my lessons Review Source Response from Lessonspace May 12, 2026 Hi Jess, Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that Lessonspace hasn’t met your expectations, particularly when it comes to working with younger learners. We’d love to help address the pain points you mentioned. Scheduled and recurring lessons can reuse the same Space and existing materials without needing to re-upload content each time, though this can depend on your organisation’s setup. We’d be happy to work with them to help ensure you’re able to make the most of these features, including accessing lesson recordings. We also appreciate your feedback around games and whiteboard management. Expanding our interactive tools and improving whiteboard management are both on our roadmap. In the meantime, many tutors use our cobrowser feature to share videos and games directly with students during lessons. Please get in touch with us at success@thelessonspace.com so we can assist further. EE Evangel E.

Pros I like the fact that lessons are automatically recorded and can be reviewed anytime. Nothing beats that feeling. Cons I'm still unable to understand how file sharing are done. Sometimes, I get lost retrieving the files posted even though it seems like it is staring me in the eyes. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) I noticed that Lessonspace is easier to navigate and can be monitored in real time. Review Source EP Eva P. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Finally a platform fitting my tutor needs" March 31, 2026 5.0 Pros I started using Lessonspace a month ago and I am so pleased I did. First of all, my students and I enjoy the whiteboard tools so much that I incorporate them every time now. No internal bugs, no interruptions. Cons I cannot think of features that I truly dislike about Lessonspace. However, I think it might be trouble for some tutors to stick ton their subscription plan given the gap between the number of students in different options is quite big. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) I needed a platform created for my special tutor aims. Review Source ZC Zoey C. Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Online teaching made easier" May 13, 2026 5.0 Lessonspace made online lessons organized and interactive. The whiteboard and collaboration tools were very useful. Pros Lessonspace is a very effective platform for online teaching. It is easy to upload documents and share your screen. The students love to be able to right on the screen and participate fully. Cons Some tools felt harder to learn than expected overall. The students can be overwhelmed with all the tools. Review Source ET Eric T. Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product, Could use some extra functionality " April 13, 2026 5.0 Good overall! I think as I get more comfortable with it I'm really going to enjoy using it a lot, but there are some small improvements I'd like. Pros Its super easy to connect with students and the multiple tabs make organizing my spaces very easy and convenient. Cons I think the whiteboard could use more text options. Its a shame that I can't do simple things like bullet points or adjusting the color of individual words for emphasis. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) More integration especially with Tutorbird Review Source CP Clio P. Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool for interactive meetings" April 19, 2026 4.0 Pros It's easy to use when it works. From the beginning with sharing an invitation and entering a space for a meeting, it's very straightforward and user-friendly. There are many helpful features, like the library for accessing any documents that I'd like to use or even add myself, and cobrowser. Cons Cobrowser works when it works-which is not always. Frequently the page refreshes automatically in such a way that you need to re-sign in on a website every 20 minutes. Review Source SS Sebastian S. tutor E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "big app with little overheads " May 19, 2026 5.0 I am very pleased it's easy to use and provides upscaling opportunity. I think some basic systems for students to acces their spaces or files after the lesson would be good Pros Very convenient and seems to work quite smoothly, I didn't experience any issues, so reliable. There are some tools to be suitable with maybe more primary school teaching Cons The tool sets need to be broader, more table type tools and organisers to make things easier , text input tool is not very smart. Review Source JP Jacob P. Tutor Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good for Tutoring" May 4, 2026 5.0 Really good value for money personally. I enjoy how I have separate lesson spaces for each of my students, so it makes my lessons a lot easier. Pros Lessonspace is good as it's easy for me to teach my lessons on Lessonspace. I am able to deliver content with the tools that Lessonspace provides. Cons Sometimes, the connection can be bad. Particularly for my students. I also don't understand how to give my students editing permissions on the lesson space. Review Source AA Ardie A. Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Virtual Learning Platform in its Category" June 23, 2025 5.0 I love it. Performance for price is the best in its class. Classes and lessons can be conducted all over the world with decent real-feel. Only downside is trying to get documents that now have notes, worked-out problems, or revisions saved. Pros Very easy to navigate from first use. Good range of basic writing tools (type, pen, highlighter, shapes, colors, etc.). Can upload a range of documents. Can't beat the price! Cons Can't re-download documents from interface (often will have important notes, explanations, revisions, calculations etc. on it). Takes a lot of processing power and bandwidth (not compared to gaming, though) - older laptops and for example public wifi connections won't sustain clear connection with video/audio.

Director and Tutor Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A perfect platform for an online tutor or teacher" May 23, 2025 5.0 Pros After launching my tutoring business a few months ago, I spent a lot of time trialling platforms like Teams, Google Meet, Zoom and others. While each had their strengths, none were truly designed with teaching in mind — they’re built for meetings, not lessons. Then I discovered Lessonspace, and I’m so glad I did. It’s tailor-made for tutors and packed with tools that make online teaching smooth, interactive, and professional. Any minor features I thought could be improved are already being worked on, which shows just how proactive the Lessonspace team is. I also had a free demo call with \[sensitive content hidden\], who was fantastic at walking me through the platform. Overall, the subscription pricing is very reasonable for what’s included. Highly recommended for any online educator! Cons At times I have noticed some minor glitches, but nothing in comparison to all the other platforms I have tried. Alternatives considered [ClassIn](https://www.capterra.com/p/229034/ClassIn/) Reason for choosing Lessonspace ClassIn was much more expensive. I also didn't need the full schedule management system it came with. Switched from [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/)[Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/)[Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/)[Google Meet](https://www.capterra.com/p/176572/Google-Hangouts/) None were as well set-up for teaching as lessonspace is. Review Source RP Rachel P. Operations Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product!" June 25, 2025 5.0 Pros Completely built for engaging online teaching and tutoring! Lessonspace is always adding new features that support their mission. Cons Cap on class sizes, unable to bulk upload teachers. Would love the ability to copy/paste images onto a whiteboard rather than upload. Alternatives considered [Pearl](https://www.capterra.com/p/207561/Pearl/) Reason for choosing Lessonspace Pricing, customer support, features, widespread use in school districts Review Source AH Annie H. tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My only complaint involves geometric shape tools, love it otherwise!" June 18, 2025 5.0 I find it reliable and easy to use. I also love being able to shower my students' work with fireworks! Pros It's user-friendly and intuitive. It is easy to jump back and forth between shared screens and the whiteboard. Cons The triangle tool only draws isosceles triangles, and there is no circle tool. The ellipse tool allows the user to approximate a circle, but it's nice to be able to pinpoint the center and then draw a circle from the center point. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) My employer uses Lessonspace. I find it far more user-friendly for teaching than Zoom ever was.

December 16, 2025 5.0 It's been so simple and reliable and easy to work with. And affordable. I don't even bother with zoom or meet anymore, I just meet people in my classroom! They've thought of everything. Pros It's pretty simple to use for students and teachers. It's the best way to create a shared space between them I've seen. Cons The co browser is a little sluggish on the student side. The student camera turns off when they leave the tab. Alternatives considered [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Reason for choosing Lessonspace Too expensive and 45 minutes free wasn't enough time Switched from [Google Meet](https://www.capterra.com/p/176572/Google-Hangouts/) Meet was a cobbled together mash of tools and was difficult to implement. Review Source HG Hilary G. Owner, Teacher, Tutor Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lesson Space is Awesome" December 5, 2024 4.0 When I started my business I used Zoom but ran into a lot of functional problems such as long loading times, using the whiteboard feature, and sharing files. Lesson Space actually works like it should allowing me to interact with remote students in real time rather than me having to do everything and they just watch. Pros I love the whiteboard because I can post a worksheet on it and watch the student complete the work in real time. The share screen feature is a go-to for me especially when my student and I need to research something together or I need to share an image that I can't post. I also like that I can post homework and the student can complete the homework in Lesson Space outside of their sessions. Cons I hate the text feature. I would like to see a spell checker AND be able to bold, italicize, and underline text. Switched from [ZooM](https://www.capterra.com/p/172461/ZooM/) Lesson Space functions a hundred times better than Zoom Review Source Response from Lessonspace December 11, 2024 Hi Hilary, thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear you've had a great experience with Lessonspace. If you’re interested, our Cobrowser (beta) lets you and your students browse together in a shared browser environment within the Lessonspace whiteboard. TW Therrin W. Tutor Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Therrin's review" September 3, 2025 5.0 I give it an 8/10. The overall experience is very smooth and easy to use but occasional connections issues occur Pros The ease of use. Also great for conference videos. I have switched to lessonspace instead of zoom due to the less complicated setup Cons Some connection issues. It could just be my connection to wifi but occasionally, i have had lagged/delayed experience Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Avoid the complicated setup of zoom and all of the restrictions Review Source KG Kimberly G. Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Teacher-Approved: High-Engagement Lessons, Low Friction Setup" December 31, 2025 5.0 Very positive. It’s a reliable, educator-first platform that supports high-quality, personalized instruction. My students stay engaged, parents find it easy, and my team can teach with confidence. And their customer service is fantastic—responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful whenever we need support. Pros Lessonspace gives me true flexibility - I can spin up sessions on the fly, switch between 1:1 and small groups, and keep everything in one place. It’s built for a learner-centered classroom: shared boards, embedded docs, and multi-modal tools let students lead, build, and explain their thinking. The interactivity is excellent - drawing, annotating, live co-editing - so engagement stays high and instruction is visible. I also appreciate the ease of scheduling/classes; links, rooms, and recurring sessions are simple to manage for families. Finally, their digital security (including recorded sessions!) gives me peace of mind for minors and sensitive academic records. Cons Pricing can get expensive as hours scale or if hours are irregular, especially for solo or tiny teams. It makes more sense once you’re a medium-sized operation (250+ teaching hours/month), where the per-hour value and centralized features offset the cost. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Because LessonSpace is superior, of course!

AS Amy S. Curriculum Developer E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Game-Changer for Interactive, Structured Online Teaching" June 23, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Lessonspace has been incredibly positive. As someone who designs and teaches structured literacy lessons, I need a platform that’s both flexible and reliable—and Lessonspace delivers on both fronts. It allows me to preload materials, guide students with visual and tactile tools, and keep sessions organized and consistent. The interactive features make it easy to bring curriculum to life in a virtual setting, and the tech is stable, which gives me peace of mind during lessons. Whether I’m working one-on-one or with a group, Lessonspace supports the kind of intentional, high-quality instruction I aim to provide. Pros As both a tutor and curriculum developer, what I appreciated most about Lessonspace was how intuitively it supported structured, interactive learning. The platform makes it easy to design and deliver lessons that are multisensory and responsive. I loved being able to preload visuals and activities, then guide students through them in real time using the shared whiteboard and drag-and-drop tools. From a curriculum standpoint, Lessonspace helped me bring my content to life—and from a tutor’s perspective, it kept students engaged and made managing the flow of the lesson effortless. It’s rare to find a platform that supports both creativity and consistency this well. Cons One limitation of Lessonspace is the lack of support for animations and embedded videos. As a curriculum developer, I rely heavily on dynamic visuals to bring lessons to life, and not being able to integrate short animations or directly embed video clips limits the range of engagement tools I can use. While the platform is excellent for interactive teaching, adding these features would take it to the next level for multimedia-rich instruction. Review Source AL Aasiyah L. Admin E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Whiteboard Platform Out There" February 11, 2026 5.0 Pros Lessonspace has a wide range of absolutely essential tools for online teaching. It takes lessons to the next level - something other whiteboard companies cannot do. Cons Not much to dislike about Lessonspace - the pricing can be a bit high - but great value for money regardless. Review Source JT Jessica T. Tutor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Platform For Tutors!" January 20, 2026 5.0 Have been using it for years and I just love this platform better than any other I have ever used as a tutor to teach my students one-on-one! Pros The accessibility, ease, and student-friendly interface of this platform has made it easy for me to tutor my students. I have been using it for years and plan to continue doing so! Cons The sound and internet connectivity seem to bug out sometimes during sessions and another audio source has to be used. Review Source SH Shona H. Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wonderful Platform! Always recommending it to others!" June 23, 2025 5.0 Its been a great experience. The LessonSpace team has been amazing with support and always open to suggestions to make it better for their clients, thank you! Pros The breakout rooms! The cobrowser! The other apps and features! Really enjoy the easy to navigate platform. Cons Being able to open two apps up at one time when using the breakout rooms. Having the ability to set a student up with an online tool while working with the other student in the different room will be next level :) Review Source DG Dennis G. Online Reading Tutor Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nice tool, makes education better. " September 23, 2025 5.0 Tremendous, I actually been welcoming others to use Lessonspace since I think it has a lot of potential for education on virtual environments Pros The fact that my student is able to check my screen, movements, pdf annotations, everything at the same time. Cons I don't like its blurry effect or its lack of personalization on the video settings when used in a videocall. Review Source DP Dragana P. teacher E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Better for teachers, better for students!" November 11, 2025 4.0 My experience is positive! I am so happy that I find the application where my students can be active involved in my class😊 Pros The best thing about Lessonspace is possibility to write on the screen in the same time with my students! Cons Student can't move the screen🥺 So she/he need to tell me 'please move the screen down/up', it will be easier that both actors see the same screen and can move it. Review Source Response from Lessonspace November 12, 2025 Hi Dragana, Thank you for your positive review! We're glad to hear that you've been happy with Lessonspace! If you need students to move the whiteboard, you can turn off "Leading mode", which allows them to move the board freely.

HS Heather S. teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to manage classroom experience" December 4, 2024 4.0 It's very easy for teachers and parents to use. Pros It's easy to manage and they continue to improve. They started by having each page as a tab but now you can upload a document all in one tab. You can also go back to where you were if you refresh, big bonus! And they have a dice now, yay! I think they take on improvements and they are a work in progress. You can also create objects to manipulate and move e.g. drag and drop in this classroom. The thing I like the best are the rewards. You can do fireworks, stars and petals all over. But the best is the earthquake for when they really do well. Cons There is a share screen function but it needs to also add in the ability of the student to move things on your screen, I think this is the only thing missing. In this way you could use other curriculum that can't be uploaded e.g. Abridge Academy. Review Source Response from Lessonspace December 11, 2024 Hi Heather! Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! If you’d like your students to interact with a shared screen, our Cobrowser (beta) feature is a great option. It creates a shared browser environment right within your Lessonspace whiteboard.
