We’ve introduced an optional Trial Class experience in Lessonspace designed to help tutors feel confident, flexible, and set up for success from session one — while giving families a clear picture of how you teach.
This experience is:
Designed to work seamlessly with Lessonspace
Created to give tutors more autonomy, while still providing structure where some may want it
📘 What’s Included in the Trial Experience?
When you open the Trial Class template, you’ll see three whiteboard tabs, each with a specific purpose:
1️⃣ Trial Class (Main Experience)
This is the core trial flow you may choose to use with families.
Provides a strong opening to welcome families and set expectations
Supports a natural conversation at the start to learn what the student needs
Leaves space for you to personalize the session using your go-to strategies and resources
Includes a clear closing to recap, align on next steps, and build confidence moving forward
2️⃣ Learn to use the whiteboard (Tutor Tooling)
This tab is a hands-on activity designed to help you (and students!) get comfortable using the Lessonspace whiteboard.
You can use it to:
Practice dragging, moving, circling, and interacting with elements
Warm up younger students
Build confidence with the whiteboard tools before jumping into academic work
It’s especially helpful at the start of a trial or with students new to virtual learning.
3️⃣ Mini Games Collection
This tab includes a set of ready-to-use mini games and activities you can pull from if you would like.
Use these to:
Build rapport
Warm up at the start of a session
Reset attention or energy mid-class
End on a positive, engaging note.
🧭 How to Access the Trial Class Experience
To open the Trial Class template in Lessonspace:
Open your class
Open a new whiteboard

You’re not expected to “wing it” or start from scratch. Instead, you’re empowered to use your professional judgment, favorite tools, and teaching style, with a framework that supports you.
