Tuteo vs photos in WhatsApp
Many tutors send each lesson's words as a chat message, a photo of their notes or a shared document. It's free and everyone already has it, but the words get buried in the conversation, and nothing makes students practise them.

Where WhatsApp is better
- Everyone already has it: nothing new to learn.
- Quick for a question or moving a lesson.
- Fine for files that aren't words to learn.
Where Tuteo differs
- Each word arrives with a translation, an example and its sound, instead of a photo of handwriting.
- Words come back for review before they're forgotten, instead of being buried in the conversation.
- You see who practised, instead of hoping.
Which to choose
Keep your chat for talking with your students.
Use Tuteo for the words: send each student's link once in that chat, and every lesson is there.
