The heart of the platform

What your students use every day

Fourteen screens, open live on a demo community. Click inside, move around: this is not a mock-up, it is the platform. Six more tools right below, and everything is in the subscription.

Pronunciation bank

The words that trip them up, with their phonetic transcription, your tip and a difficulty level. Your students practise them and you see which ones come back most.

The rolled R explained once, findable by everyone.

talvereno.onbonfire.com/pronunciationlive
Pronunciation bank — Talvereno

Writing corrections

An email, an essay, an exam task: the student submits it, you correct it, they see where it stands — open, reviewed, closed. No more texts lost in your inbox.

Corrections are explained in a dedicated channel.

Writing corrections — Talvereno

Learning paths

“From A2 to B1 in 12 weeks”, “DELE countdown”: steps in order, ticked off one by one, with a progress bar. The student always knows what to do next.

Students can build their own path too.

Learning paths — Talvereno

Practice log

Fifteen minutes of listening, twenty of conversation: every session logged, the week in bars, the streak of days. They see they are moving; you see who went quiet.

A little every day, made visible.

Practice log — Talvereno

Skill exchange

“I help you with French, you help me with Spanish”: your students offer what they know and find a conversation partner inside the community.

Tandem partners, without looking elsewhere.

Skill exchange — Talvereno

Courses

Your method in lessons and chapters: grammar, conversation, exam preparation. Free or kept for your paying tier, with each student’s progress.

No separate course platform.

Courses — Talvereno

Channels & speaking practice

Your community in channels: introductions, small wins, corrections, and a speaking channel where they post what is hard and you answer with a tip.

Channels kept for your paying students.

Channels & speaking practice — Talvereno

Conversation clubs & lives

Conversation club, grammar clinic, mock exam: in the calendar, with RSVP, in each student’s time zone.

No separate scheduling tool for your group sessions.

Conversation clubs & lives — Talvereno

Private messages

One-to-one with you or between students, in the same app as everything else. Nobody has to give you their phone number.

Conversations with your students stay in your space.

Private messages — Talvereno

Knowledge base

The questions everyone asks — ser or estar, the subjunctive, understanding fast native speakers — answered once, searchable forever.

Fewer repeated DMs.

Knowledge base — Talvereno

Member directory

Who is in the community, at what level, for which plan. Your students find each other: someone moving to the same city, someone preparing the same exam.

A community, not a student list.

Member directory — Talvereno

Leaderboard

Every finished lesson, logged session and submitted text earns points. The monthly leaderboard nudges those who slow down.

Consistency rewarded, not just level.

talvereno.onbonfire.com/leaderboardlive
Leaderboard — Talvereno

Weekly pairings

Every week, two students with close interests are paired, with an idea to start the conversation.

Speaking practice, organised without you.

Rewards

Points earned are exchanged for what you decide: a free correction, a private session, early access.

You set the rewards, they come for them.

The math

What your current setup costs

Assumption: 100 students paying $49/month, so $4,900 collected each month, community on Skool, paths and exercises on Teachable, group-session sign-ups on Calendly. Public prices checked on the vendors’ pages on 10 November 2026.

Today

Three subscriptions, three tools, several logins for your students.

  • Skool Procommunity, courses, events$99
  • Skool fee2.9% of your $4,900 collected$142
  • Teachable Builderpaths, quizzes and written exercises$89
  • Calendly Standardconversation club sign-ups$12
Monthly total$342

The fee grows with you: at $9,800 collected a month, that cut alone reaches $284. And Teachable’s community space only comes with its Growth plan, at $189.

With Bonfire

One app, one login, your domain.

Monthly total€97

Over $220 less a month at this size, and the gap widens with every student you add. Your students open one app instead of three. Everything is included, there is nothing to add.

Side by side

Two good tools, two separate apps

Skool is built for communities and courses, Teachable for courses and graded exercises. Each does its job well; neither does speaking, writing and community in one place, under your name. Only what the vendors state on their pricing pages is written here, checked on 10 November 2026.

Commissions come on top of payment processor fees, which exist everywhere, with us as with them. What this table compares is what is taken on top of every dollar you collect.

What nobody says

The fee grows with you, the service does not

On Skool, every payment from your students leaves 2.9% in commission, on top of the processor fees. At 100 students paying $49, that is $142 a month; at 200 students, $284 — for exactly the same tool.

With us the price is fixed: €97 a month, whether you collect $3,000 or $30,000. Your students pay you directly, on your own Stripe account: we take nothing on the way.

Made to measure

Missing a tool? We build it.

The platform is not frozen software you take as is. What makes your method yours — your placement test, your marking grid, your exam preparation — can become a module of its own, built for you and living inside your space.

Your students do not see a bolted-on extra: they see a feature of your teaching, in the same place as the rest, with your data.

What it can be

A placement test that puts the student on the right path · a marking grid with your criteria · a timed mock exam · an automatic progress report to your students · a link to the tool you already use.

How it works

You describe the need, we quote the module and its timing. Build, testing with you, release in your space. The module is maintained with the platform: it does not break at the next update.

What it costs

Quoted case by case, once, on top of your subscription. No module is billed before you approve the quote.

On the phone

Your students install it: one icon, like a real app

The platform goes on the home screen, on iPhone and Android, and opens full screen — no browser bar. No app store, no review, no 30% cut. And it is your name under the icon, not ours.

  • Push notificationsA message, a conversation club starting: your students are told even with the app closed.
  • Nothing to downloadThey open your link and tap “Add to Home Screen”. Done.
  • Always up to dateYou change a path, they have it. No review wait, no student stuck on an old version.
  • The whole platformPaths, pronunciation, channels, courses: nothing is cut on the phone.

Live, at phone size.

Roadmap

The platform moves, and your students see it

You are not renting frozen software. What follows is the real state of the product: what just arrived, what is in progress, what is built on request. Everything delivered is delivered for everyone, at no extra cost.

  • Courses in chapters, progress savedEvery finished lesson is saved: your students pick up where they left off, you see where they are.
  • Practice log, week by weekThe student logs a session in seconds and sees the week in bars, the streak of days and the longest session.

Your data

Where your students live, and who can read them

You are trusting us with the details, the writing and the payments of people who trust you. It is the question a serious teacher asks before signing, so the answer is on the page rather than in a document sent afterwards.

Where they are hosted

The database is in the United States (Virginia), the application servers in Nuremberg, Germany. Better said than guessed.

Separated community by community

Each of the 283 tables enforces its access rules in the database itself, not in the page code. A display bug cannot show another teacher’s students: the database would refuse the request.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

The site only accepts current transport encryption and refuses older versions. The database is encrypted on disk. Passwords are never stored in clear, including by us.

Invisible without an account

No data can be read without being a member of the community. No student list reachable by guessing an address, no paid lesson readable from outside.

Yours, not ours

We sell nothing, train no model on your content or on your students’ writing, and never contact your students. You export whenever you want and ask for deletion when you leave.

Payments never go through us

Your students pay on your own Stripe account. Card numbers are entered at the payment processor, never on our servers: we neither see nor keep any.

Pricing

One price, and nothing on your revenue

One offer, complete. No tier to compare, no feature kept for those who pay more, and no setup fee.

Setup, without losing a single student

We import your members and your courses, rebuild your price grid, set up your brand and your domain. Your students sign in and find their access, their seniority and their tier: nobody signs up again. Their subscription is taken over on the date you choose — we tell you exactly how, platform by platform, before you sign.

It is the first question everyone asks. It is included in the subscription: there is no setup fee.

The way out

You are not locked in, and it is in writing

Handing your students to a stranger is the real risk on this page. Here is what happens if you want to leave — better said before you pay than after.

No minimum term

The subscription is paid monthly and stops monthly. No yearly contract, no cancellation penalty, no bundle you must sign to get the displayed price.

Your data leaves with you

Your members, their tiers and seniority, your courses, your messages: everything exports from your admin, at any time, without asking us. It is a feature of the product, not a favour.

Your domain stays yours

The platform runs on your domain, which you own. The day you point it elsewhere, your students follow without changing address.

What we take onWe do the move-in

We import your members and content, rebuild your price grid, switch subscriptions on the date you set. It is included in the subscription: no entry fee, and no exit fee either.

What teachers ask

The three questions that come back

I only use Teachable. Why pay more?

You should not, if recorded courses are all you sell: Teachable Builder is $89 a month, less than us. Bonfire becomes the cheaper setup the moment you also run a community — Teachable keeps it for its Growth plan, at $189 — or pay Skool or Circle to host it.

And my current students?

They are imported with their seniority and tier, and find everything when they sign in — nobody signs up again. Payment methods do not move between platforms: that is a processor rule, not a choice. We switch subscriptions without double charges, on the date you set, and show you the method before you sign.

If I stop one day, do I lose everything?

No. Exporting your members and content is possible at any time, from your admin. Your community stays yours.
