Set-up

General setup suggestions

  • A laptop or desktop computer, not a phone or tablet.
  • A steady internet connection; Wi-Fi at a good speed is fine.
  • A webcam and a microphone; the built-in ones are often enough.
  • A quiet room with a plain background and good light on your face.
  • A Chrome-type browser or the platform’s own classroom app.

Nice to have

  • An external webcam and a good USB microphone or headset.
  • A wired connection for the busiest hours.
  • A small whiteboard, a puppet or a few props to hold a child’s attention.
  • A second screen for the lesson slides.

General teaching guidance

General advice, not the employer’s requirements. Check the posting for how this role works.

A good lesson gives a young learner something small they can do by the end. Model it, let them try, and change the activity when attention fades. Gestures, pictures and simple props can help when words are new. Match your pace to the child and the lesson format, and check the employer’s approach to materials, parent updates and missed sessions.
