How Online Tuition Works
The technology and software makes online tuition pretty cool
I use Skype, FaceTime or WhatsApp video so we can communicate as if we were in the same room, and I also use an excellent online whiteboard called Bitpaper. This is our ‘paperʼ. This really simple, easy to use, interactive whiteboard appears on both of our screens and both tutor and student can write on it and see what each other is writing in real time, with every page saved to come back to as many times as you like. The interactive whiteboard has a lot of additional features that really make the online tuition experience superb, and fun too!
It’s really like having your own classroom, only it’s online
Weʼll set up a permanent classroom that’s just for you. Youʼll always be able to find all your whiteboards from past sessions there. You can also download your whiteboards at any time and save them or print them.
What you will need?
A good broadband connection
A tablet, laptop or desktop computer
A digital pen, a must for optimal use of the whiteboard!
I use an iPad with an Apple Pencil (recommended), but Bitpaper is compatible with any tablet and digital stylus combo. If you donʼt have a tablet and digital stylus though, you can plug one of these inexpensive graphics tablets into the USB port on any laptop or desktop, and that will allow you to write on the whiteboard too.
