Not just a planner — Derstina gives you actual lessons with stories, activities, and exercises ready to run live with your student.
A1 and A2 lessons include fun character stories — Milo the puppy, Luna the cat, Sam the squirrel — to engage children and make vocabulary stick.
Every lesson has interactive games: bingo, charades, story chains, roleplay, and more — all designed to work perfectly over Zoom.
Every lesson runs as a polished slide presentation you share on screen — with interactive exercises where students answer question by question and reveal answers on click.
Run a structured first lesson to assess speaking, grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, and writing. Automatically recommends the right CEFR level.
After the trial, one click generates a full 12-lesson plan matched exactly to the student's assessed level — A1 through C2.
Track every student's level, age, goals, progress, assessment scores, and lesson history — all in one place, accessible anywhere.
Add your own lessons to any student's plan — set the topic, skills, materials, and homework your way.
Mark lessons complete, add session notes, and watch students progress through their plan lesson by lesson.
Each teacher only sees their own students. All data is stored securely in the cloud and accessible from any device.
Every lesson is a complete guide — open it, follow the steps, and teach. No extra prep needed.

"I used to spend hours preparing lessons. Now I just open Derstina, click Run, and everything is there — stories, games, grammar explanations. My young students absolutely love the Milo and Luna stories."
"The slide presentations are a game changer. I share my screen and the lesson looks like a professional PowerPoint — grammar rules, examples, and interactive exercises. My students answer question by question and it keeps them so engaged."
"The trial lesson assessment is brilliant. It scored my new student, told me she was B1, and gave me a full 12-lesson plan in about 30 seconds. I was up and running in the same day."
