What the checklist is for

What makes online sessions work

Online tutoring works best when it is interactive: the student writing, drawing and solving on a shared board while talking through their thinking. Clear sound and readable screens are what make that possible.

Minutes matter

A late start and a few minutes of sound trouble can take a fifth of a 45-minute session. Logging the minutes makes the cost visible, and a backup plan gets most of them back.

Recording

Record a session only with the family’s written consent, store it securely and delete it when it is no longer needed.
