FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Before the pandemic made Zoom popular, we were already leveraging it’s usefulness to help students. Since 2018, we have been effectively tutoring students online using the free Zoom platform.

​

Our tutors use their iPads to screen share a whiteboard through the Notability app and work through problems with students while dialoguing in real-time just like they would in person.

​

Students send copies or pictures of relevant documents that can be uploaded and annotated on the Notability Whiteboard. These notes are saved and sent to students as a PDF for future reference.

​

Meeting remotely cuts down travel time for both students and tutors, saving time and energy that can then be used to optimize student learning. This flexibility also allows our students to request sessions and help ad hoc if necessary, in case they are needing some last-minute help before a test or in completing an assignment.
