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.
  • A way to write maths the student can see: the platform’s whiteboard, a tablet or a document camera.

Nice to have

  • A drawing tablet or a stylus screen for neat working.
  • A second screen for the student’s work and your notes.
  • A good USB microphone or headset.

General teaching guidance

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

Start by finding out how the learner is thinking. Ask them to show their working, use their mistakes to find the missing step, and let them try the next problem themselves. A shared board can make reasoning easier to follow in live lessons. Check the curriculum, class size, materials and preparation time with the employer; these vary between tutoring and school roles.
