The lesson lives in five apps
Zoom for the call, a Google Doc for notes, ChatGPT in another tab, WhatsApp for the homework reminder, a spreadsheet for who paid. Nothing connects, and every lesson ends with admin nobody pays you for.
Vocabulary disappears after the lesson
You teach ten great words, the student writes three of them somewhere, and by next week they're gone. There's no loop between what you taught and what the student reviews.
Prep eats your evenings
Finding or building level-appropriate material for every student, every week, is the invisible unpaid half of the job.
You look smaller than you teach
Great teaching deserves a professional front: a page students can book from, invoices that look official, lessons that feel organised. Duct-taped tools undersell you.
One platform, the whole job
In the lesson
A classroom built for language teaching, not meetings
Live video next to lesson pages you both write in, vocabulary you add as you teach, 17 games and an AI assistant that already knows your student's level, goals and history. 'Can you explain the present perfect again?' gets an answer pitched at that student, in seconds, and only you see it.
Assistant · only you see this
Irregular past tense. Her last report corrected "went", "bought" and "ate", so a quick gap-fill with those would fit.
After the lesson
A lesson report you didn't have to write
Switch on an AI lesson report and Tuton records the lesson audio, then writes it up: each error with a correction and a short explanation, what went well, the new words with their CEFR level, and how much of the lesson your student spoke. Before your next lesson, a 'Last time' recap is waiting in the lobby. Your first 2 report hours are free, and on Plus and Pro your students read their reports too.
Travel stories: past simple or present perfect?
You told three travel stories and compared finished trips with life experiences. The stories were clear; we worked on choosing “been” or “gone”. See the topics

Between lessons
The work keeps compounding after the call ends
Words you add go to the student's spaced-repetition deck, with a translation once you've set their native language (75+ languages), for review on their phone or laptop. Homework can be built with AI from the student's level and recent lessons, and their answers are checked instantly. When you want a lesson ready-made, the library has 850+ lessons in 110+ courses from A1 to C1, including Business English and IELTS.

The business side
The business side stays yours
Tuton isn't a marketplace: it's the back office for the students you find. They request your open times from your public page and you accept in a click. Invoices are built from completed lessons, prices can sit in the currencies your students pay in, and you can see who still owes you. You pay a flat subscription; students pay you directly by bank transfer, Wise, Revolut or PayPal, with no commission taken on those payments.
