Ask a coach what wears them out, and it is rarely the chess. It is keeping track of every student, and switching between apps in the middle of a lesson.
Every student, in order
Each student has their own course, homework and lessons, so you never need a spreadsheet to remember who is who.
A course for each student, built from topics and short units
Exercises that accept more than one right answer
Homework that shows how they thought, not only whether they were right
Your comments written beside their moves, and kept apart from theirs
Your weekly hours published once; students ask, you accept or decline
Invite a student by email, even before they have signed up
Teach live, with nothing to install
Send a link and begin. You both move the same board, see and hear each other, and what you played is kept with the unit it belongs to.
One board that either of you can move
Camera, microphone and chat beside the board
Arrows and highlights while you explain
A position or a whole game brought in from a PGN file
A summary afterwards, with everything you played
Book a lesson for later, or start one now.
