What is needed for a tutoring session?

Equipment needed:

  • Up-to-date computer, Apple, PC, or Tablets/Ipad  (phones can make it a little difficult because of size but we can make anything work in a pinch) with built-in camera and microphone

  • We are not able to share control of our screens if a Chromebook is used and prefer to not have your child use one.

  • High-Speed Internet, 1.5 Mbps or higher upload and download speed would be great! You can check your computer's speed at: www.speedtest.net

  • Headphones with a microphone are helpful for your child to concentrate  (not necessary though)

  • A Zoom account (how to access Zoom)

Suggestions for during the tutoring session:

  • Create a quiet, distraction-free area for the online tutoring sessions.

  • Close all other programs

  • Try to make sure that others in the home are not downloading or uploading during sessions—this includes gaming, movies, downloading documents, etc. This can affect connection quality.

 

Parent involvement 

  • Please, contact us whenever you have concerns or questions arise.  We are a team working for the best interest of your child.

  • In the beginning, it would be great if you are around in case there are any technology issues (but usually the kids are the ones that fix it for us  LOL!!)

  • Other than possible technology issues your child is good to go on their own
