Leaving the marketplace

On Preply or italki and tired of the cut. You want to own your students and keep what you earn.

Keep 100% of your lessons Solo independent pro

10–30 students and drowning in admin. You want it all in one tab, automated.

See a week, minus the busywork Teaching on the side

2–5 students in the evenings. You want the least possible prep — and a free start.

Draft a lesson in minutes A couple of colleagues

Sharing materials and an overview of every student between you. You want one place that does it all.

A walk through the workflow

A normal teaching week. Minus the busywork.

Same students, same lessons you already teach. Here’s everything the workspace quietly takes off your plate, day by day.

Sunday
eveningwas: planning dread
The whole-evening plan

Type next week’s goals. The drafts are waiting by morning.

Tell the platform where each student is headed — lessons, exercises and homework appear in your review queue. You approve and tweak over coffee, not over the whole evening.

One grammar point per step — drafts you edit, never auto-send.
Mondaya new student
The onboarding call you skip

A new student joins from your link — and starts tracking instantly.

They clicked your invite, picked their level and goal, and that’s onboarding done. No setup call. Their profile starts building from minute one.

One referral link · students register straight to you.
Wednesday
6:00lesson with São Paulo
The 6 a.m. timezone math

The calendar did the timezone math. The reminder already went out.

You set your time; your student sees theirs. Recurring lessons, one-off reschedules and automatic reminders, all handled — no spreadsheet, no mental arithmetic before dawn.

No-shows run ~30% lower with automated reminders (research, not our promise).
Thursdayhomework, already checked
The evening of marking

Homework came in overnight — and it’s already checked.

One student bombed the past tense. The platform flagged exactly that gap and drafted targeted practice for it — not “more exercises,” the right ones. You approve it in one click.

Gap analysis spots which skill failed, then drafts the fix.
Friday“how’s she doing?”
The report you write from scratch

A parent asks how she’s doing. You send a link. That’s the report.

Every student’s profile doubles as a visual progress report: skills mastered, work completed, recurring mistakes, streaks. Nothing to write up — just share it.

Skill mastery tracked A1–C2 on Bayesian Knowledge Tracing.

eveningstill yours

Your evening. Still yours.

The teaching was yours all week. The busywork wasn’t on your plate. That’s the whole point.

Start teaching free
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.

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.

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

You set the thresholds — pass at 70%, skip ahead at 90%, your call per student. The platform does the noticing and the drafting; remediation (the targeted re-teach when a skill slips) is the one thing admin tools and content tools both leave to you. 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.

Your rate $/h × lessons/wk

Fair caveat: marketplaces earn their cut on discovery. Pay it for new students — not for the ones who’ve been with you for years.

“My students won’t learn a new system”

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 — and gamified streaks and goals are repeatedly linked to higher learner motivation and persistence. Retention isn’t a feature; it’s your income.

Instead of what?

Honest about what each tool is good at

Most teachers stitch together an admin tool, an AI content tool and a marketplace. Here’s where each genuinely wins — and the one row only we can tick.

Competitor capabilities reflect each tool’s current public product pages, 2026. Admin tools charge a flat subscription rather than per-lesson commission. “●” = partial.

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?
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.
Can I move my students from Preply or italki here?
Your long-term students can join with one link. Check your marketplace’s terms about off-platform contact for students you met there — many teachers simply bring students from their own channels.
How many students can I have on the free tier?
Enough to run a real practice — exact limits live on the Plans page, and we won’t pull features out from under you mid-term. (Limits to be confirmed before launch.)
Do you handle payments from students?
Today you track payment status per student; collection runs through your usual channel. Built-in payments are on the public roadmap.
I teach kids. Is the progress report parent-friendly?
Yes — the student profile doubles as a visual report: skills, completed work, streaks. Share it as a view-only link.
