A Miro alternative for English tutors
Miro is a whiteboard for teams, and since September 2024 paid accounts in Belarus and Russia are closed. LexiBoard is a whiteboard for English lessons: you and your student write on it together, with word sets, games, the textbook and homework right next to it.

Why tutors leave Miro
- Boards by student
- Every student has a permanent link with their boards, lesson and homework. No hunting for a board in a shared folder or sending a new link before each lesson.
- The textbook on the board
- A textbook page goes on the board in one click and you write over it with a marker. AI builds exercises from the pages you choose — multiple choice, gap fill and true/false.
- Games, not another tab
- From the board header you launch a quiz or crossword from a word set right on the student’s screen and see their score — no Wordwall or Quizlet on the side.
- Payment from Belarus
- Pro is paid with a Belarusian card or via ERIP. The service doesn’t need a foreign company’s permission to keep working.
How to move from Miro
- 1Save what you needExport the Miro boards you want to keep as images.
- 2Create the student’s boardAdd the student in LexiBoard — they get a personal link — and paste the image onto their board.
- 3Carry on with the lessonSend the student the link once: all their boards open from it from then on.
When Miro is the better fit
- You run workshops and brainstorms with a large group.
- You need integrations with Jira, Slack and other work tools.
- You need the board for team work, not for lessons.
