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
