A whiteboard in the same window as the call
You and your student write on one board next to the video, with AI at the board.
Your whole lesson in one window, connected to your Google Calendar.
Class Spot puts the video call, a whiteboard you both write on, self-checking homework and a live website in one window, with booking, reminders and payment tracking beside it. Sign in with Google, sync your calendar both ways, and keep your Meet link while you switch.
Class Spot is the better fit when your lesson spans more than a call
Google Meet makes it easy to start a free call, and Google’s other apps can cover the rest: Calendar for the schedule, Docs for materials, Forms for quizzes, Sheets for payments. Class Spot brings those jobs into one app built for tutoring, so the lesson, the homework and the payment for it sit together for every student.
One app in place of six Google tabs
Call, materials, homework, schedule and payments live together.
Running balances for every student
Class Spot tracks who owes what across lessons and sends invoices and reminders.
Works with your Google account
Sign in with Google, sync Google Calendar both ways, and keep your Meet link while you switch.

What changes when the lesson lives in one window
Google Meet and its sister apps can cover most of a tutor’s week, one app at a time. These are the places Class Spot brings the pieces together.
A whiteboard beside the call
Google shut down Jamboard at the end of 2024, and Meet has no built-in whiteboard today, so tutors open a separate board app or share a Google Doc. In Class Spot, the whiteboard sits in the same window as the video call. You and your student write on it together, use your templates, and, from Solo Pro, ask the AI assistant for a graph or formula while you keep talking.

One app in place of six Google tabs
A tutor working in Google keeps the lesson in Meet, the schedule in Calendar, materials in Drive, quizzes in Forms, payments in Sheets and homework in Gmail. Class Spot puts all of it in one app, organised by student, so you find last week’s board, homework score and invoice in one place.

Balances and invoicesRunning balances, beyond a single booking
On Business Standard, Google Calendar booking pages can take a card payment through Stripe when a student books. Class Spot follows the money across the whole term: who has paid for which lessons, what is still owed, and when the next invoice is due. Students pay you however they already do, and Class Spot sends a polite reminder when a payment is late.
Built to work with your Google account
Class Spot sits alongside the Google tools you already use. Sign in with your Google account, connect Google Calendar to sync your schedule both ways, and paste your Meet link into lessons while you and your students get used to the Class Spot classroom.

Class Spot vs. Google Meet: which to choose
Google Meet is a strong pick for free one-to-one calls and teams already working in Google Workspace. When your lessons use a board, materials and homework, and you run your own practice, Class Spot is the stronger fit.
Why tutors pick Class Spot
- You want a whiteboard, materials and the call in one window.
- You set homework every week and want scores in each student’s history.
- You track lessons and payments per student and want invoices and reminders handled.
When Google Meet fits better
- Your lessons are conversation only, and free one-to-one calls of up to 24 hours cover what you need.
- Your school or business already runs on Google Workspace and takes card payments through booking pages.
- You teach groups larger than 20 students, or run webinars and lectures.

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question?Can I keep using Google Meet?

Does Class Spot work with Google Calendar?

Can I bring my Google Docs and Slides?

How do Class Spot and Google Meet prices compare?

Does Class Spot record lessons?
Yes, on Solo Max and Business. Each recording sits in the student’s thread beside that lesson’s homework, materials and invoice.
