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

• High Speed Internet, 1.5 Mbps or higher upload and download speed would be great! You can check your computer's speed at:

• Headphones are helpful for your child to concentrate  (not necessary though)

• A Zoom account (how to access Zoom)

Not needed but would be nice eventually:

• A graphing tablet will make it easier when we are working on math problems on the screen.  Using a mouse can be time consuming. 

• (example:  XP-Pen G430S OSU Tablet Ultrathin Graphic Tablet 4 x 3 inch Digital Tablet Drawing Pen Tablet for OSU is only $19.95)

• A document camera (HUE HD Pro USB Document Camera for Windows, macOS and Chrome OS is $79.95).  This will allow your child to be able to share exactly what paper or book they need help on.

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 me 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!!)

• Not often but you may have to be in the same room if your child is having problems focusing.
