The virtual classroom
Everything a great lesson needs, already in the browser
No Zoom links, no installs, no “can you see my screen?” Open the lesson from your dashboard and you're teaching or learning within seconds.
Interactive whiteboard
Draw, diagram and solve together in real time — with pen sizes, colors and an eraser.
Screen sharing
Share a document, a code editor, or your homework draft with one click.
Chat & links
Drop links, vocab lists and corrections in chat — everything stays searchable.
Shared notes
Lesson notes are written once, kept forever, and waiting for you before the next session.
The BrightPair Guarantee
If a tutor doesn't show up, the lesson is refunded automatically. If a tutor cancels twice in a month, we'll personally help you find a replacement — and add a free lesson to your balance.
FAQ
Everything else you might wonder
How is this different from recorded video courses?+
Recorded courses talk at you; a live tutor talks with you. Every lesson adapts in real time to your questions, your mistakes, and your pace. Your tutor notices the gap you don't know how to name, corrects your pronunciation the moment it slips, and holds you accountable — which is why completion rates for 1-on-1 tutoring are many times higher than for self-paced video courses.
What is a trial lesson and why should I book one?+
A trial is a discounted 25-minute session before committing. You and the tutor meet, talk about your level and goals, and try each other's teaching/learning style. After the trial you can subscribe to regular lessons with that tutor — or try someone else. No awkwardness; trials are normal here.
How do payments work?+
You buy lessons or lesson packs upfront in the platform — tutors never charge you directly. Packs of 5 or 10 lessons come with a discount. If a tutor cancels or doesn't show, the lesson is automatically refunded to your balance.
What happens in the virtual classroom?+
Every lesson happens in our built-in classroom: HD video, an interactive whiteboard you and your tutor draw on together, screen sharing, text chat, and shared notes — no third-party apps to install, everything is saved to your lesson history.
Can I become a tutor too?+
Yes — we accept experienced teachers and professionals in any subject. You set your own price and availability, keep 82% of what you earn, and get paid out weekly. Applications are reviewed within 5 working days.
