An online classroom for German tutors
Describe the lesson or attach your coursebook pages. Gomently writes it with gap fills, article practice, listening in German and games, you teach it live while you follow each student, and after class you get a report and homework built from each student’s mistakes.
One lesson, as Gomently might write it
One request becomes a lesson in sections, each with its own task. You change any part by asking.
“The accusative for an adult A2 learner, 45 minutes, with a dialogue at the bakery.”

Tasks that suit German
Articles and cases
Sort nouns by der, die and das, or choose the right ending for a sentence from a dropdown.
Listening in German
Short clips spoken in German with questions, and words students tap to hear.
Gap fill
Typed, from a dropdown or from a word bank, with every accepted form.
Word order
Build a sentence from its words, with the verb where it belongs.
Find and fix
Students tap the mistakes in a text and correct them.
Crossword and matching
Vocabulary as a crossword, or words to pictures as lines or memory cards.
In class
Everyone in one room
Video, audio, screen share and a shared board, one-to-one or with a group.
Each student’s work, live
Open a student’s screen as they work, see their score and mistakes, and take over to correct a step.
Speaking, led by you
Each section carries notes for you: questions to ask aloud and a model answer.
After class
Gomently writes a report and homework for each student from what they did and said in class. You review them and pass them on.
- Grammar and spelling patterns, with corrections
- Strengths, and what to work on
- Talk time and a pronunciation estimate
- Two or three homework exercises built from their own mistakes
- A suggestion for the next lesson
Requests to try
Type one in your own words, or attach your coursebook pages.
- “Modal verbs for a B1 group, with a short listening.”
- “Vocabulary for a visit to the doctor, A2, with pictures.”
- “The exercises on page 52 of my coursebook, as they are.”
Questions
Yes. Listening clips and tap-to-hear words are spoken by German text-to-speech voices.
Yes. Attach the pages as a PDF or photos, and Gomently follows them exercise by exercise, with the numbering, the answer key and the pictures.
No. Students answer by tapping, choosing and typing. Speaking is led by you in the live class; class speech is transcribed so the report can note talk time and pronunciation, and the audio is then deleted.
Gomently is free for teachers during early access.
