Bienvenue ! Step inside your classroom
This is the real room where lessons happen — live video with Xavier, an interactive whiteboard where every word is written for you, and a chat you can copy home. Tap the markers to explore it, then walk in and try the pens yourself.
Unlimited boards
Like pages of a notebook: grammar on one board, vocabulary on another. Nothing is erased until you say so.
The interactive whiteboard
The heart of the lesson. Every new word, correction and example is written here live — and you can write too.
Live video & audio
Xavier face to face, in HD. Camera optional if you are shy — the voice is what matters.
Your classmates
Lessons are one-to-one or small groups — see who is in the room with you.
The class chat
New words typed out so you never mis-hear them. Copy the whole chat home after class — free revision notes.
Share anything
Screen, slides, PDFs, audio, video — straight onto the board when the lesson needs it.
Raise your hand
Classroom manners, built in. Plus layouts that switch between board, video or both.

Loved by students on italki, Preply and Fiverr
La leçon de Xavier est très dynamique et drôle. On utilise beaucoup de fiches et on regarde beaucoup de vidéos. C’est très bon ! Merci beaucoup.
Xavier is a great tutor! He is very patient and has helped me to build my confidence speaking in French.
Great first lesson. Smart, open conversation which helped determine my needs for future classes. Will be taking more classes and recommended for those looking for an experienced but relaxed teaching style.
