How does online tutoring work?
Parents and students may wonder how it actually works? What are the requirements? Actually, all you need is a laptop with a webcam, a tablet or even just a smart phone and internet connection and the rest are simple. Yes you have to download a free app or software and our tutors/administrators can guide you through it step by step.
There are many online meetings out there like Skype, WebEx, Gotomeeting, MS Teams, Zoom and even Facetime, WhatsApp, Google Meet and the list goes on. But the app that we find is the most suitable for tutoring is Zoom.
Benefits of Online tutoring with Book Smart Tutors
There are many features such as the ability to do video meeting, share files, share screen, annotation, cast your phone/tablet, whiteboard, and video recording. Some tutors can also use other supplementary software’s such as Google slides, Google classroom and you can just write on a physical whiteboard or a piece of paper while doing a video conference.
1. Tutoring sessions can be reviewed at a later time
One of the biggest advantages for online tutoring is that the session can be recorded and students can review them at a later date. This feature is especially valuable for math and science lessons where the student can watch the recording and the tutor can re-teach the questions step by step once again.
