The average tutor runs a lesson across five apps — and none of them talk to each other

Tutors report losing 6–10 hours a week to admin: copy-pasting homework, chasing payments, juggling timezones, rebuilding the same worksheet. That's unbilled time. CoverTheGaps replaces the stack — not with another tool, but with one connected workflow.

Replaces 4 subscriptions and a spreadsheet.

6 h
$25

That admin is worth $650 of unbilled teaching every month.

Watch it work

Type your student's goal. Watch the course build itself.

A structured course — steps, theory, exercises, tests — drafted in minutes, with one grammar point per step so students aren't overloaded. Five exercise types, CEFR-aligned from A1 to C2.

Try a goal:
Course structure — drafted
Step 2 · sample exercise
Gap-fill · Ordering food
A2 · one grammar point: present tense of querer

AI drafts. You decide. Everything lands in your review queue first — nothing reaches a student until you approve it.

“My students are in six timezones. I live in fear of mixing them up.”

You set your time. Students see theirs. Always.

Recurring lessons, one-off reschedules, calendar feeds for Google and Apple Calendar — with automatic timezone conversion for every student. Research on tutoring scheduling shows two automated reminders cut no-shows by about 30%.

Works across every timezone pair. No mental math at 6 a.m.
“Checking homework eats my evenings.”

Homework checks itself. You review the verdicts.

Gap-fills, multiple choice, word order — checked instantly, with attempt history per student. Free-text answers get a drafted assessment you approve or edit. Your evening stays yours.

5 exercise types + full exams with auto-grading and gap analysis.
“What did we do last time?”

Never open a lesson wondering “what did we do last time?”

Every student has a living profile: completed work, recurring mistakes, skill mastery from A1 to C2. Open it two minutes before the lesson — you're prepared. Send it to a parent — that's the progress report, already written.

Skill tracking built on Bayesian Knowledge Tracing — not just “% correct.”
“I have years of my own materials.”

Bring the materials you already have. They get superpowers.

Paste any text — an article, your own worksheet — and turn it into an interactive exercise. Organize everything in catalogs, assign per student, attach audio. Your archive doesn't get replaced; it gets connected.

Your materials + generated drafts live in one library, assignable in two clicks.
The part nobody else does

Lessons that adapt to each student's mistakes

When a student scores below your threshold, CoverTheGaps analyzes which skills failed and drafts targeted practice for exactly those gaps — not “more exercises,” the right ones. Score 90%+? It skips the busywork and moves on. You set the thresholds; the platform does the noticing.

LessonYou teach as usual
HomeworkChecked the moment it's submitted
Error analysisWhich skills failed — not just the score
Next step adaptsTargeted practice, drafted for approval

Admin tools don't generate content. Content tools don't track students. CoverTheGaps closes the loop.

Keep what you earn

Marketplaces find you students. We help you keep them.

Preply takes up to 33% of every lesson — and 100% of every trial. That's the price of discovery, and sometimes it's worth paying. But teaching your long-term students on a marketplace means renting your own business. CoverTheGaps is infrastructure you own: your rates, your brand, your student relationships, 0% commission on your lessons.

Keep using marketplaces for discovery. Teach here.

What your students see

Students join with one link from you — no setup, no account gymnastics. They get homework that explains itself, instant checking with hints, and a progress map that levels up like a game: XP, streaks, badges, skills.

One link to join

You send it; they're in. Works in any browser.

Homework with instant feedback

Checked the moment they answer, with hints — not a week later.

Progress they can actually see

XP, streaks and skill levels from A1 to C2 — visible after every session.

Students who see progress stay longer. Retention isn't a feature — it's your income.

Learning a language yourself?

Practice every day, not once a week

Tools, flashcards and word games you can use free — between lessons or on your own.

Homework built from your mistakes

Your next exercise targets exactly what you got wrong — not random drills.

Progress like a character sheet

XP, streaks, and skill levels from A1 to C2 — watch yourself level up.

I'm a student — show me my side

Fair questions

Is it really free? What's the catch?
The core workspace — students, lessons, homework, materials — is free to start. Heavy AI generation runs on paid credits later, and pro plans will add advanced features. No credit card to begin, and we'll never auto-charge you.
What if the AI drafts something wrong?
That's why nothing goes to a student automatically. Every generated exercise lands in your review queue; you approve, edit, or regenerate. AI drafts, you decide.
Will my students have to create accounts and learn a new system?
They click one invite link from you. Homework opens in the browser with instant checking — most students need zero explanation.
I already have years of my own materials. Do I have to start over?
No — paste or upload them. Your materials live in your library next to anything you generate, and any text can become an interactive exercise.
How is this different from Preply or italki?
They're marketplaces: they find you students and take 15–33% of every lesson. We're your workspace: we don't take commission and you keep the relationship. Many teachers use both — find students there, teach them here.
Which languages can I teach with it?
The platform is built for language teaching in general — exercises, CEFR levels A1–C2, and content generation work across major languages. English is the most battle-tested today.
You're new. What happens to my data if I leave?
It's yours. Export your materials and student records anytime. We ship updates weekly and build in public — see the changelog.

Your next lesson could prepare itself

Free to start. No credit card. If it doesn't save you time in the first week, you've lost ten minutes.
