Online tutoring is an effective and successful tutoring model. Team Tutor has been providing in-person tutoring programs for over 16 years and over the past 5 years we have started to provide online tutoring for many of our students and school partners. We have compiled a list of 6 tips to help make your online tutoring experience successful.

 

  • Create a Workspace for Success: Designate an area that is well organized and free from clutter. Make sure to have all needed supplies for work such as extra paper, pencils, pens, calculator etc. This minimizes the distraction of having to get materials during the sessions.
  • Computer Is Ready for Work: Make sure your computer is plugged in and all updates are up to date before the tutoring sessions. This allows for a smooth session without technical issues that will impact the learning time.
  • Test Out Meeting Platform: Test out the online platform that you will be using before your first session. This ensures smooth set up for a successful learning session.
  • Organize Your Bookmark Bar: Create an online folder for your online tutoring sessions with the most frequently used sites. This allows for quick access to all the  learning sites you will be using during the session.
  • Log On Early: Make it a habit to begin logging on for your session a few minutes early. This  gives way for any “technical hiccups” that may arise. Being on time for tutoring creates a pattern of academic success.
  • Camera On Your Computer: Please make sure your camera on your computer is working. This allows the tutor and student to see each other. This face to face interaction foster a positive rapport with the student and tutor which makes a more successful partnership.
