Scaling online tutoring across US school districts with Pearl Education. As Pearl expanded its tutoring programmes across US K-12 school districts, it needed a virtual classroom that could scale with its growing client base. It needed a partner who could do this without compromising reliability or adding the overhead of building and maintaining a virtual classroom in-house. Lessonspace provided the technology behind Pearl's Advanced Classroom, helping the company ramp up to over 3,900 monthly tutoring hours in under 120 days while maintaining 99.99% uptime. Pearl Education provides a Student Support Platform that helps K-12 districts coordinate program delivery, connect implementation and outcome data, and understand what's working across student support programs. As Pearl's work with K-12 school districts expanded, the company needed a purpose-built virtual classroom that could integrate seamlessly into its existing platform. Pearl's goal was to give districts a seamless way to manage virtual tutoring alongside the operational visibility and implementation data available through the broader Student Support Platform. That required an online classroom that could support high volumes of tutoring hours while delivering a reliable, intuitive experience for students and tutors. Pearl integrated Lessonspace's online classroom to create the "Pearl Advanced Classroom". The challenge: quick, pain-free integration. School district education teams demand reliability, detailed session visibility, and strict compliance, and the Pearl Advanced Classroom needed to handle thousands of concurrent students and tutors without missing a beat. Quality at scale was also important because dropped calls, latency issues, and clunky tools lead to frustrated tutors and damaged trust. Building and maintaining a custom, real-time virtual classroom in-house would require significant developer resources, ongoing maintenance, and constant infrastructure tuning. For Pearl, the challenge was finding a solution that could be integrated quickly, scale with its growing district client base, and meet the reliability and compliance expectations of US school districts. Therefore, Pearl chose to partner with Lessonspace. Rather than building from scratch, Lessonspace provided a faster, more efficient, carefully designed solution: a robust system that Pearl could integrate directly with their existing Student Support Platform. The classroom needed to handle the peaks of the school year and meet the compliance requirements of the US districts. And as a trusted tech partner, Lessonspace needed to provide ongoing support to the Pearl team. Loved working with Matt and the team! They are great. The team is amazing, and the platform is easy to integrate with. John Failla, Pearl CEO The solution: A reliable classroom partner. Lessonspace provided the ready-to-go virtual classroom Pearl needed to complement its Student Support Platform without the overhead of developing and maintaining a classroom in-house. As pedagogical and technical experts, the Lessonspace team has spent years carefully designing and testing the tool for this exact use. A dedicated product team continually improves and adds to the classroom infrastructure, with a support team on standby to resolve any questions. Pearl could plug Lessonspace straight into their platform and hit the ground running with tutoring sessions. It was easy to scale reliably as they expanded their US school district client base. A ready-to-go, white-labeled virtual classroom. It was important for Pearl to ensure a consistent online classroom experience across their clients, whether they were running a hundred tutoring sessions or a thousand. The Pearl Advanced Classroom, powered by Lessonspace, provided this consistency as Pearl scaled and gave a cohesive look and feel for users across multiple districts. The classroom's stability is backed by US servers delivering 99.99% uptime and a reliable user experience for both students and tutors. Additionally, Lessonspace meets US security requirements through its SOC 2 Security Compliance. A specialized platform built for scale. When tutoring programs operate at scale, district leaders need visibility into what students are actually receiving. Pearl gives districts a connected view of program delivery and implementation data so leaders can monitor participation, understand what's happening across programs, and make more informed decisions. Lessonspace contributes important virtual-session data and classroom functionality through features including: * Attendance and session tracking: Providing Pearl with the ability to automatically track student attendance and sessions. * End-of-session alerts: Notifying tutors when a session is ending, allowing them to extend if needed and keep control over the session. * Cobrowser tool: Enabling collaborative, interactive web browsing during live tutoring sessions to improve tutor usability. * Session recordings: Integrated directly into Pearl's platform for quality control and session review. * Collaborative whiteboard tools: Improving the interactive learning experience for students and tutors. * Dedicated support: Providing tech assistance and guidance, regular check-ins, and open communication for the Pearl team. Book an Enterprise Demo The results: district expansion with enterprise reliability. Pearl could scale its tutoring operations quickly while relying on Lessonspace for the underlying virtual classroom infrastructure. Instead of spending months or even years building custom software in-house, Pearl integrated quickly and easily with Lessonspace's white-labeled solution and ramped up to over 3,900 monthly tutoring hours in under 120 days. This meant Pearl could support growing tutoring programmes across school districts without taking on the ongoing development and maintenance required to run its own virtual classroom, allowing its team to focus on the broader Student Support Platform and the needs of the districts it serves. This growth is backed by: * A user experience that remains the same for each tutor and each student, no matter how many sessions, tutors, or schools. * Session data integrated into Pearl to give district leaders a clearer view of tutoring implementation. * An enterprise-grade system that is reliable, secure, and compliant. Lessonspace has been a great partner as Lessonspace, Inc. has scaled. Their classroom is reliable, easy to integrate, and gives Lessonspace, Inc. the flexibility to deliver a seamless tutoring experience while its team stays focused on the broader needs of the districts Lessonspace, Inc. serve. - John Failla, CEO, Pearl Education For Pearl, the partnership meant having a proven, compliant, enterprise-ready virtual classroom that could scale with its district expansion, without the overhead of building and maintaining the technology in-house. With Lessonspace handling the classroom infrastructure, Pearl could keep its resources focused on the broader Student Support Platform districts rely on to manage and understand program delivery.

Inside ClassDojo's seamless switch from Zoom to Lessonspace. As Dojo Tutor continued to grow, ClassDojo needed to move from Zoom to a purpose-built online classroom without disrupting lessons. Lessonspace partnered closely with ClassDojo to support the transition through phased onboarding, tutor education, technical implementation, and dedicated enterprise support. With the mission to give every child an education they love, ClassDojo is one of the world's leading EdTech platforms, connecting over 50 million students, teachers, and parents across 180 countries. ClassDojo expanded its impact through Dojo Tutor, an online tutoring service designed to deliver personalized, high-quality instruction directly to young learners, operating with thousands of active tutors. This expansion of Dojo Tutor meant ClassDojo needed a platform that was intentionally built with children's learning in mind. When using Zoom as a teaching space, tutors had to juggle separate external whiteboards, documents, and resources. Overall, there was an opportunity to improve the user experience and cater specifically to online teaching rather than a corporate meeting experience. With a built-in interactive whiteboard and a hands-on, enterprise-level support team, Lessonspace was the obvious choice to improve the learning experience on Dojo Tutor. Zoom is an excellent meeting tool, but it wasn't designed with children's learning in mind. When used for tutoring, it often creates passive learning experiences that don't align with what educational research tells Lessonspace, Inc. about how kids learn best. - Tegan Bombard, Strategy & Operations, ClassDojo The challenge: A seamless move. With thousands of tutors already actively using Dojo Tutor, a smooth transition from Zoom was a key priority for the Tutor Operations Team at ClassDojo. The focus needed to be on the tutor experience and building their confidence in the platform while minimizing disruption. Lessonspace needed to remain reliable while it was quickly rolled out to the existing tutors. Structured change management was critical, along with ongoing technical support for the Management Team and tutor education. Enterprise-grade security and compliance were non-negotiable. The solution: an all-in-one classroom with dedicated support. ClassDojo and Lessonspace worked together on a structured migration designed to make the transition as smooth as possible for thousands of tutors. The approach combined phased onboarding, tutor education, technical implementation support, a purpose-built classroom, and dedicated enterprise support. Intentional onboarding and change management. ClassDojo ensured tutors were comfortable with the change through a structured, high-touch onboarding process supported by the Lessonspace team. The migration followed a carefully planned, phased launch approach focused on understanding ClassDojo's needs. Lessonspace provided guidance and suggested best practices for onboarding, with regular meetings and check-ins supporting ClassDojo from both technical and operational perspectives. Rather than moving all tutors at once, the teams first soft-launched the platform to a select group of experienced tutors. This allowed ClassDojo to gather early feedback, identify any issues, and refine the setup before rolling Lessonspace out more widely. Tutor education was another important part of the rollout. The comprehensive tutor knowledge base provided help guides, training materials, and demo spaces to support tutors as they moved to the new classroom. Thousands of tutors also enrolled in the free Online Teaching Course to learn platform navigation, interactive teaching strategies, and online classroom management. Purpose-built classroom and enterprise tools. Once tutors were onboarded, the Lessonspace classroom gave them the teaching tools they previously had to manage across separate platforms, while also giving ClassDojo the control and support needed to operate at scale. * A white-labelled classroom space for ClassDojo: The Dojo Tutor branding, virtual backgrounds, and pre-loaded lesson content helped make the transition feel like part of the existing Dojo Tutor experience rather than a move to a separate third-party platform. * The interactive whiteboard: Tutors could teach using interactive tools directly within the classroom, reducing the need to switch between external whiteboards, documents, and other resources. STEM editors, document uploading, and educational resources are embedded directly into the space. * Session recordings and transcription: Provided ClassDojo with greater visibility into lessons and supported internal quality assurance. * Management oversight: Gave ClassDojo control over tutor activities, session lengths, and permissions, which was important when managing a large tutor network. * Dedicated support for the ClassDojo team: A direct Slack channel and regular strategic check-ins gave the team a clear route to technical support throughout the rollout and beyond. * SOC 2 Security Compliance: Helped meet ClassDojo's enterprise security and compliance requirements. Book an Enterprise Demo The results: A transformed tutor experience with no downtime. Built by educators specifically for online learning, Lessonspace brings native tools that foster interactive, hands-on engagement. Lessonspace, Inc. is already seeing the impact: improved student engagement, better retention, and learning experiences that truly resonate. - Tegan Bombard, Strategy & Operations, ClassDojo By combining structured change management, tutor education, and dedicated technical support, ClassDojo successfully moved thousands of tutors from Zoom to Lessonspace in just one month, without teaching downtime. The success of the migration came from: * Strong technical implementation support from the Lessonspace team * A structured, phased onboarding process that allowed ClassDojo to test, gather feedback, and refine the experience before scaling * Tutor education and resources that helped thousands of tutors become comfortable with the new platform * A purpose-built online classroom designed specifically for interactive online teaching * Enterprise-grade support, security, and control needed to operate at scale For ClassDojo, the project showed that large-scale platform migration could be carried out quickly, without disrupting teaching, while still giving tutors a purpose-built classroom. The partnership between ClassDojo and Lessonspace shows what's possible when the technology, implementation support, and change management needed for an enterprise education rollout are considered together.
